Charlotte was very informative and accomodating. Excellent guide! Engaging and delightful. She was very specific with her facts - down to the cobblestone art.

Wonderful gastronomic experience

marmarstm, Dec 2024

The food tour was a perfect combination of history, gastronomy, food tasting and a great environment! Asher - the gorgeous human being we were blessed to have as our guide - made sure we had an unforgettable experience! She walked us through old Lyon's secrets and history, walked us through the foods we were tasting, and had planned an obviously well thought out route for us to enjoy! I was overwhelmed with joy and good puns and didn't realise how quickly the time went by before our tour ended! Needless to say that Asher stayed with the group by the end of the tour and shared good tips of places to further explore and enjoy in Lyon, which was incredibly appreciated. A wonderful experience with good tasting food and a nice, cosy group of people. Highly recommended!

Lyon secrets

This tour was an extremely interesting cultural experience. Sybille, my guide for the day, not only introduced me to the local cuisine, but also the history of Lyon, as well as the city's secrets. I loved the places we visited, everything we tried and I was impressed by Sybille's attention and professionality. This tour is highly recommended.
