My husband and I spent a... - My husband and I spent a wonderful 4 hours exploring Lyon with Olga, and she truly went above and beyond. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and quirky fun facts, but she was also so patient and polite with all our questions.
What really blew us away was her care for our experience outside the tour. She recommended a fantastic local Lyonnaise restaurant, called to make a reservation for us mid-tour, and even walked us inside to translate the French menu into English! Olga is fun, professional, and deeply caring. If you’re in Lyon, do yourself a favor and book with her.

Wonderful tour with Noemie in Lyon! - We had a fabulous waking tour of the city with Noemie today! We mentioned some of the things we really wanted to see before we left the States for our trip. Noemie contacted us prior to let us know all the particulars and where she would meet us. She was so knowledgeable about the city and pointed out some great spots for sweets and for meals. We loved having a local guide show us around. Would highly recommend Lokafy and Noemie for your trip to Lyon.

Great ride 🌲 - Beautiful discovery of the city otherwise, interesting anecdotes and secret passage guaranteed with Noémie D. The bucolic places allowed to take height on the city and discover it differently 😀

Successful activity - We were on two days four hours each with Jörg in Lyon. He showed us the most important sights of the city in time and could tell us a lot about it. In addition, he could give us good tips for further excursions and restaurants. Overall we felt very comfortable with and with him

Highy Recommended - Highly recommend this Lyon tour with Joseph. We learned a great deal viewing the architecture and learning the history of Lyon's city center and its historic district. And by walking with a local this commentary came alive with our guide's love for his city and the life it has provided for him.

Beautiful Lyon - We travel from Paris to Lyon by train. We reach the meeting point by taxi to met Mimi our guide for the day. We started at the tourist office close to the Louis XIV statue. We passed the bridge over the Saone river to visit the Saint Jean Baptiste cathedral and then took the funicular to the Fourviere hill where we visited the magnificent church Our Lady of Fourviere dedicated to the Virgin Mary. We took back the funicular, and walked to the Gallo -Roman theater. Mimi was very knowledgeable and kind and helped us by taking some pictures of us. We walked trough the old Lyon. We couldn’t see the traboules , as the door was closed. We saw the puppeteer clock and visited the small Guignol museum. Also visited the Miniatures museum. Entrance to museums, funicular or subway, not included in the tour but worthy. Stopped for snacks, in our way to see the Fresque Lyonese. We visited the place de Terreaux , where we saw the Opera house, the Bartholdi fountain and the Museum of fine Arts. Mimi arranged very well the scheduled and we appreciate it, as we were there go a day trip. We took the subway to go to the Lumiere museum, which we enjoyed, and that was the last part of the tour.

Joseph empathetic and professional guide - Joseph a great guide who empathically made us a great rejoicing with wonderful places, great panoramas and good narrative
Although the tour was contracted in English it made us favor doing it in Spanish with total command of the language.
