Amazing, Kind, & Gruesome
100keenanw, May 2023
I had an absolutely wonderful time with Nico on this tour. He is incredibly knowledgable and personable, and the tour itself is very well constructed, carving through the hilly medieval streets of Lyon with supernatural tales, architectural history, and the occasional gruesome murder. We saw some less crowded corners of the old city as well as some more typical sites, stopping along the way to admire, for example, small stonemasonry details on the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, or the illuminated view of Fourvière from a bridge, the square by Théâtre Célestins, etc. Nico himself is super duper kind. I lucked out in that the tour ended up just being me; since I am learning French, Nico conducted the tour in French, and since he's a professor of languages, he also helped me with my own language as I responded, even giving me some practical tips for moving forward in my own time.
Really just a purely positive experience. By the end I felt like I hadn't paid enough for what I received. Thank you, Nico!

Wow I wasn't expecting such a kind and hearty comment! Thank you so much. That is the thing, I want people to feel special during my tours, to learn about the big and the small history, and to be able to fully enjoy it as a real personal experience!
Hope to meet you again for some more discoveries about Lyon, and keep practising your French all the way!
The beautiful - and bloody! - city of Lyon at night

I took this tour in English and it was excellent! It definitely showed a new side of the beautiful city of Lyon, and it was lovely (and hair-raising!) to experience the beautiful old town at night and hear the thrilling stories of the past. Excellent guide, can highly recommend!

This was a very interesting and entertaining tour. Nicolas, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and great fun. He speaks perfect English and this ensured my daughter could really enjoy the tour as well.

Nicholas was amazing. Full of knowledge which he delivered with aplomb. Thoroughly enjoyed his tour and recommended a great restaurant for dinner afterwards
