Lyon food tour.

Beth_S, Dec 2024

Anna was an excellent guide. We were a small group and she was engaging with a great sense of humor. We walked and talked and got a great sense of Lyon. We stopped in several different places and were offered and or tasted all the important traditional foods of Lyon. There was more than enough. We started with a tremendous charcuterie board and progressed to a full meal, coffee and a dessert treat all while walking through old town some Traboules and beyond. It was a wonderful tour.

You won’t be disappointed!

Diane P, Dec 2024

This was an excellent tour. Anna our guide was charming and informative. This tour is a great blend of history and food - you don’t just walk from stop to stop, you learn a lot about the history of Lyon and its food and explore the secret trabouche pathways. Food was a good cross-section of Lyonnaise specialties, you won’t go away hungry. Highly recommend.

Combination of history, food tasting , beautiful city and a wonderful guide.
