Good introduction to Lyon - A great introduction to the foods and sights of Lyon. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Anna and learnt so many details that we would not have otherwise. The food was tasty, the tour itself a good pace and Anna is interesting to chat to.

A not-to-be-missed experience! - Anna was a brilliant tour guide and we very much enjoyed the tour. She spoke excellent English and is very knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Anna even arranged a little Happy Birthday celebration as it was my mum’s 80th birthday on the same day. The 2.5hrs was well paced and fun; I’d have no hesitation in recommending this tour

A Tasty Introduction to the Food, Culture and History of Lyon! - This was our first visit to Lyon and our guide gave us a wonderful introduction to the history of, architecture and foods to be found in the Old Town of the city. We enjoyed walking along narrow streets and through “secret” passageways. The servings of different local specialties such as a charcuterie board, a very sweet Pauline, and a quenelle were very generous and tasty!

An expert food and history, tour of Lyon! - What a great way to see Lyon while tasting your way through this beautiful city! Anna is authentic, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. Our group was small and intimate which made for a very pleasant experience. Anna provided a sample of many local delicacies along with an explanation of their historic significance. In addition, to the tour she also provided many restaurant recommendations and other sites to see in the city. We can highly recommend this tour.

Cancelled at last minute - Our tour was cancelled the day before the event. The next date available was over a week away. The option to rebook was over a week after our scheduled tour so it was not possible to revise. Ironically, the other 2 tours I booked through Trip Advisor in Lyon changed their dates or time. What's up in Lyon?
