I recently took a walking tour in Lyon, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving fascinating tales of the city's rich history and vibrant culture as we strolled through its charming streets. From the stunning Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière to the secret traboules of the Old Town, every stop was a delightful discovery. The blend of Renaissance architecture and modern murals made for a visually captivating journey. The guide's passion for Lyon was contagious, and I left with a deeper appreciation for this beautiful city and its heritage. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Lyon!
