- Vieux Lyon - The finest dessert in Lyon is undoubtedly the Praluline: a soft brioche filled with delicious pralines, which are traditional candies made of almonds coated in pink sugar. Guests will taste this special dessert at one of the town’s historic bakeries, established in 1948!
- Place Saint-Jean - The culinary journey concludes at a remarkable chocolaterie near the Cathedral, where the recipes are crafted by a Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Participants will embark on an exploration of the diverse types of chocolate this region offers. Simply unmissable!

A varied taste of Lyon with fun surprises! - Marie-Clara was a friendly and cheerful and knowledgeable guide! She had some favorite spots she pointed out to us – and she knew the history and stories around us. The food was a perfect slow sequence of tastings and you weren’t overfilled but definitely didn’t leave wanting anything else! The food is traditional and you learn a lot about why you stop ar these stops. Would highly recommend this food tour as it’s a walking tour, a history tour, and a tasting tour – what more could you ask for?

Recommend this for a great intro to Lyon cuisine - Anna was a wonderful and engaging guide, and she managed to balance the informational aspects with the gastronomical experiences. The five stops are sequenced just right for the time of the day (dinner/evening) and season (very warm spring). There was enough variety throughout the courses and appropriate focus on “must-eats” of Lyon, highlighting those that in my view, are truly worth the experience, especially if one has limited time in Lyon. The atmosphere was relaxed and informative at the same time. Every stop and course had enough time for our small group to enjoy the tastes and stories that go along with these.

Food tour Lyon - Knowledgeable guide who spoke English well. Three sweet stops out of five stops. The sausage stop was very educational and Stephanie also gave us lots of historical information.
