Food, culture, and history…the perfect Old Lyon tour. - This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Maude, was very knowledgeable and interesting. She has an obvious passion for Lyon and its culinary importance. She is well versed on the history of the region which made it seem like more than just a food centered tour. She explained to us the historical and geographical importance of the city between stops, introducing us to traboules and how they came to be and shape Lyon.

Must do in Lyon - Nathalie was fantastic. An excellent blend of information about the history of Lyon as well it's unique and heralded food culture. Would recommend doing the tour on your first day in Lyon to ground yourself in this beautiful city.

Great Food Tour with Nathalie - Nathalie arrived in time and with a beautiful smile. She was very knowledgeable, patient and did a fantastic job showing us the old city, explaining about all the foods in every stop. The stores were ready for the group and the staff was welcoming. Nathalie gave us some tips and recommendations. I totally recommend Nathalie and her food tour in Lyon.

A pretend activity with a hefty price tag - Our guide was excellent but the event lacked warmth and embrace from the hosts. We felt like we were just part of a timed process. “Do Not Come in to our shop” was the vibe at the cheese store, the ice cream stop and the silk establishment. Very expensive activity for what was offered

No more food tours - The charcuterie, cheese, and wine were very good. Two of the four offerings were desserts (ice cream and brioche) that did not seem unique to Lyon. For the price, it was too much for too little. The guide gave it his all and I seem to be the lone critic. I ones evaluation depends on travel and cuisine experience.
