Highly recommended! - Perfect! Highly recommended. Konstantin is extremely knowledgeable, flexible in terms of route and can get you into places you normally cannot get into. Not to be missed. You will have an entirely changed (and enhanced) perception of Lyon.

Highly recommended private tour - Konstantin is a wealth of information. We took this private tour on our last day in Lyon and he guided us through the sites we had not yet seen as well as providing additional insights on some that we had seen. It was a perfect way for us to spend our last day in Lyon.

A Wonderful Introduction to Lyon - This tour was a great introduction to Lyon. Our enthusiastic guide took us from Place Bellecour through Old Lyon and back. He had a lot of inside info to share - the traboules we walked through were amazing. After this tour we were able to make the best of the rest of our time in Lyon.

A memorable tour - The traboules were fascinating and the Roman ruins were impressive. Konstantin was very knowledgeable and explained the history and architecture clearly and with humour. He was very adaptable to our wishes.

Traboules - Constantine did not seem happy with taking the tour. He constantly complained about Lyon and what it had to offer. If anything positive was said about the city he countered with a negative answer. This was somewhat disconcerting. He also pointed to a hydrangea and said that it was a mulberry tree. Not impressed with his knowledge or attitude.
