Quentin was the highlight of our trip, we never would have stumbled across the gems he took us to without this tour. He was so informative and engaging, our whole group loved it. We also didn’t expect to learn so much history as we did. We even got in touch after the tour for some recommendations and he was so happy to help, giving lots of suggestions and tips, despite not having to do so.
You will not be disappointed!
Thank you so much Quentin for your time- Suzanne
Another great tour with Quentin.

Quentin is a great guide. He's knowledgeable, humourous and very friendly. The information he provided helped me better understand the area and the history of the silk workers. Seeing the traboules to make our way back to Hotel de Ville was amazing. This is the second tour I've done with Quentin and I can't say enough good things about him and both tours.
Beautiful tour
