Best Tour in Lyon - Our tour guide, Konstantin was amazing !!! We had a lot of cold and rain but that did not stop us from the dramatically atmospheric scenes of secret passages and traboules …actually it made it even better.. LOL We had only half a day in Lyon and this was perfect to get to know it! And even have one of the best hot chocolate stops ever!! Merci again Konstantin!

Best tour guide - What a great tour! Konstatin is a great guide. He had lots of information about Lyon, and he’s quite articulate. He is interested in history and knows much about it. We especially enjoyed the basilica and the nearby ruins. And the tranboules! A highlight of our visit to Lyon.

Nice visit but big surprise on bank fee - Interesting tour of the traboules, on the other hand big surprise on payment with bank charges because the company must be registered in London. Very weird so and especially not indicated anywhere!!!
