The tour guide Dilac was wonderful. He showed me all the most beautiful places in Lyon and explained in details of the history of each. Thank you Dilac now I have more knowledge of Lyon history. Thanks again for adjusting the tour to my request!
Great walking tour!
Patricia_H, Dec 2024
This was a great tour. We learned a lot about the two hills of Lyon, and the people who lived on them from the Gauls through the Romans and the Canuts and their eventual revolution. Didac was a terrific guide who really knew his stuff and made the whole 3 hours super interesting. He even played music to inspire us on the steps! We highly recommend!
Didac is the guide you want.
Phyllis_A, Dec 2024
Didac provided us with a thorough understanding of both Fourviere and Croix Rousses. His easy manner added to the experience, and knowing that the tour covered a great deal of climbing and descending, he was sensitive to our capacity.
A highlight of our time in Lyon.
