An excellent tour - This is an excellent tour. Toni is very personable and knowledgeable. His love of Lyon and it’s history came through vividly as he described the architecture, traditions and culture of the city, and provided interesting tidbits about the early residents. The funicular was not running on our chosen date and Maud contacted us, arranged for us to switch to another day, and suggested activities for our empty day. After the tour, Maud sent a list of recommendations for places to visit, restaurants and bouchons. Toni and Maud are great hosts for a wonderful city. I highly recommend this tour.

An Amazing Tour - This is a tour that takes you around Vieux Lyon and up to the Roman amphiteatre and Basilica. Sure, you can do that on your own. But Toni, our guide, opened up Lyon, both literally and metaphorically, and showed what a fascinating and historically important Lyon is. Highly recommended.

Lyon highlights - Toni was a great tour guide that went the extra step to share his knowledge of Lyon. Working in tandem with his wife, he provided culinary recommendations even while we were still on the tour.

Easter in Lyon - It's a beautiful city: very characteristic are the "traboules" that connect the streets of the old city considerably shortening the route. The Museum of Confluence is captivating and engaging. A short stay, but very fulfilling.

City highlights was a highlight! - I enjoyed a wonderful afternoon tour with Toni! It was on my first day in Lyon and was a really fun way to learn about the city, and it’s history, see some highlights. Toni was knowledgeable, friendly, genuine and caring. I made new friends on the tour because of the lovely environment he created, and we went to dinner to an authentic bouchon restaurant that Toni recommended and had a blast. He gave us all great ideas to make the most of the rest of our time in Lyon. I would highly recommend this tour!
