If you don;t have time to visit everything and if you can't walk much , then the pedicab is a must - very informative and a wonderful and passionate guide. Definitely worth it. I wish we had time to take an extra hour because it was so interesting and a wonderful experience.

Old town peditour. - Michael was our pedicab pilot who was very knowledgeable and fun during our 1hr tour. He peddled us around the old town where we also walked through a couple of traboules. We had a good time. Thanks Michael.

Very enjoyable tour! - Michael met us promptly at a central location. Ride was very comfortable for two hours that flew by. Saw a lot of attractions up close. Stopped at some for more info. Spoke English quite well. Always helpful with extra stops, answering questions and taking pictures. Took us back to starting point but offered to drop us closer to our hotel if needed.

Great tour, would highly recommend - I've discovered and just love these pedicab tours. They are slow, fresh air, good explanations along the way, no windows in the way of pictures. May not cover as much distance as a bus tour but they can get places that busses can't and that is worth a lot. Michael was a wonderful guide, easy to understand, born in Lyon so really knew the city and some of the merchants along the way. Very accommodating of my mobility issues with ankle problems. I would definitely recommend.

Great way to see the old city. - The pedi-cab tour was the perfect activity on the afternoon we first landed in Lyon, after an overnight flight. The operator was super knowledgeable. And we felt like we learned a lot… without ever leaving our seats. For the price, it totally exceeded my expectations.

Best tour of Vieux Lyon - We had a fabulous tour around Vieux Lyon (the old town) with our guide, Michael. Michael was extremely knowledge and friendly and answered all our questions. He pointed out extremely interesting elements of Lyon we would not have seen or experienced otherwise. From seeing a silk loom, to the traboules, the history of the Lumière brothers and so much more. Best guided tour we have ever been on. Can’t recommend this tour and our guide highly enough.
