“Good tour. A little long. Guide was excellent--very friendly and pleasant and highly knowledgeable. Perhaps it would be even better if a little shorter (especially in the cold) and a bit less talking. Overall, a very good experience.”

Explore Lyon’s Old District on a private two-hour walk through Saint-Jean, secret traboules, Juiverie Street, and Hotel Gadagne.
“It was a great tour. Our guide started by asking what we had already seen/visited before starting the tour. Our guide gave us a customized tour of the old town, including explaining and looking at the external architecture of Cathedrale Saint Jean Baptiste, examining ruins around the cathedral, walking and explaining various streets and building of the old town, exploring a half dozen traboules, and visiting a few shops that offered specialties (praline roses and praline brioche). Would definitely recommend.”
