Go ahead without hesitation - We all loved this visit of the Red Cross, animated by Alexander; through his eloquence and humor, he knew how to captivate us and bring his characters to life. Many THANKS to him for this shared moment.

Back in time with a storyteller who takes us back in history! - We have been swept into history! Although LYONNAIS, we rediscovered history and places that we had never seen or not seen in a long time.

How to know a neighborhood of Lyon in a pleasant way! - We really liked Clemence's story. Everything was important to hear to understand the Red Cross, the Canuts and their way of life at the time. We were able to discover the Croix Rousse district, its traboules and discreet passages thanks to this open-air representation.Bravo to Clémence, its expression, its kindness, its smile. Happy continuation!

Fascinating experience - I had no idea what it was but I was really won over. Guide F was really fascinating. We were supposed to be 4 people unfortunately the other people (1 family) got wet by day. As I was passing through, Guide F favoured a private tour. What a delight! Guide F is very good at storytelling. I've learned a lot. I really enjoyed it. F you are excellent. Good continuation in your future projects. Cecilia.

Experience to be constantly renewed until all the visits are exhausted! - The tours organized by Cybèle and her “agents” are incredible! I've done 4 of them and I never get tired of them! What talent on the part of the entire team, what pleasure to walk around Lyon suspended on the lips of the storyteller, what delight to note the historical accuracy of the framework of the narration! In short, I recommend again and again to everyone to visit Lyon in this way: what a joy!

To do again! - Excellent time, very friendly. We really get into the game, we change eras and we discover a little-known part of the history of Lyon. Suitable for both natives and curious tourists. Well done and thank you to the whole team.
