Great way to see Lyon - Anh was a great tour guide! He was very kind, happy to answer any questions, and offered to take photos. The tour was very thorough and fun. We saw so much of the city in a short period of time. The group was small, which was perfect for this kind of tour. It was easy to ask questions and hear the history of the city. This is a great way to see a lot of the city if you're only in town a couple of days, or if you're looking for more information about the history of the city. I definitely recommend!

A walking tour through Lyon - To wear good appropriate footwear and jacket according to the weather. Be prepared to see and learn about some of the most important events of Lyon’s history, but not stopping for any kind of souvenir shopping. Our guide, Ein, was a delightful chaperone!

Excellent tour of Presqu'isle and Old Lyon - Our tour led by Anne was excellent. We were in Presqu'isle and Vieux Lyon. Anne is energetic, knowledgeable, and very encouraging of questions. We had walked through parts of these areas the day before. By partially retracing our steps with Anne, we realized how much we would have otherwise missed.

Our tour guide Ann was... - Our tour guide Ann was fantastic! She was friendly and kind, and has so much knowledge in Lyon and France's history. The 2 hour walking tour went so fast as we were enjoying listening to her. W/o this tour, we would have walked by and missed many traboules in Lyon and cool spots. I'd totally recommend this tour!
