“This tour was a comprehensive food experience of Vieux Lyon. Our guide, Nathalie, brought us to several local spots to test regional dishes from an apéro to a plate in a local bouchon (both featuring local wines) to sweets and chocolates from a notable sweet shop. Nathalie provided excellent guidance about the history of Vieux Lyon and some of its under-the-radar spots along the way. This was a great tour and I would recommend it as part of a well-rounded Lyon experience. Lyon is known as the Capitol of Gastronomy for a reason.”

Apparently I was the only one so they moved me to another excursion and refunded 1/2 of the cost. Bicycling around Lyon was super - the guide, Pierre, was entertaining and led a nice tour of the city. The bike lane infrastructure is great.. I recommend this tour as a nice introduction to the city.”
