Best night in Lyon! - Our tour guide, Didac, was amazing. Very knowledgeable, fun and eager to please. He mentioned that all his tours are different and spontaneous; he lived up to his word. We ending the evening at an unscheduled jazz session at the oldest jazz club in Europe. Spectacular!

Best way to experience Lyon - Excellent adventure! He explained all the history of Lyon and paired it so well with music to bring that time and the experience to life even more. So cool! And, the wine was fantastic (and well deserved after the walk along the city hills). We stopped at such a wising place with all natural wines and the staff suggested a few options based on my preferences. Great experience and I’d highly recommend!

Fun, creative and informative tour - We loved this tour, which was so well thought out and planned by the lovely Didac. He has put a lot of thought and care into the tour and he is very passionate about music, wine, art, and Lyon. We liked going into the more hipster neighborhood on the hill. Didac’s playlist, which he sampled throughout the tour with a small speaker, was a great touch. A fun, creative, and informative tour.

He was very personable and flexible, adjusting the content to our questions and interests. The wine was delicious as well. Overall, a very unique experience that is more than worth the time!

Neat experience but not what was expected - Music history of Lyon however I expected some live music. We also thought wine would be included but they charged extra for it.
