- Cathedrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Lyon - Begin the culinary adventure at a wine bar near the Saint Jean Cathedral, a renowned landmark in Old Lyon. Here, participants will enjoy a classic French aperitif, savoring a refreshing glass of local wine paired with a delightful cheese tasting, featuring cheeses from the Rhone region and beyond.
- Place du Change - Close to Place du Change, a quaint square reflecting Lyon’s trading history, participants will discover why Lyon is considered the gastronomic capital of France. This becomes evident when exploring the variety of local ingredients, such as charcuterie. In a local boutique, participants will be introduced to some of the most renowned charcuterie varieties.
- Traboules du Vieux Lyon - Explore the famous hidden passages of Lyon’s old town: the traboules!

Maya is Amazing - We enjoyed this tour immensely. The food was great and so were the vendors who welcomed us. Maya was our guide. She was wonderful.
Maya set the tone for the night with genuine kindness, a beautiful smile, and calm confidence. We have been on many food tours. This one was special because Maya brought the group together in an organic way that made it perfect for every personality type. We had a great time and love Maya!

A fantastic tour! - We had Nicolas as our tour guide and we couldn't have asked for better! He was fun, friendly and very knowledgable about all of the food and drink Lyon has to offer. The tour itself had plenty of food stops and was very organised, we left very full by the end of it! There was also some history involved on the way which is always a bonus for me. After the tour, we were also sent information of the best restaurants, coffee shops and wine bars to try around Lyon. I'd highly recommend anyone to do this food tour, it's a great way to try everything Lyon has to offer. You won't be disappointed!

Cold night, warm hospitality - We shared a very chilly evening stroll with Marie-Clara, but were warmed by her hospitality and love of this city. The points of interest were small things were would not have discovered on our own (like the mosaic art repairing sidewalks and streets). The food was good and even enjoyed a few drinks with the couple after the tour. A great introduction to Lyon.
