Paul the guide, provides the right balance of history about Lyon, in an interesting and engaging way. He uses photographs to illustrate some aspects of his talk. Paul is extremely knowledgable about the history, culture, food and different neighbourhoods of the city.
We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour! Very informative and interesting. Other information was also provided (for free!) both during the tour and online, about recommended restaurants, etc.
Awesome tour and guide

Paul is fantastic. The tour is very informative, well paced, and easy to hear even with a group of about 30 people. Information hard to get any other way. Loved it.

Came across this guided tour on a Google search. Their website has a wealth of local information to start with. Great for research before our trip.
The guided tour itself was interesting and informative. The guide was friendly and experienced. The trip was well-organised. We both enjoyed it and had a lovely time exploring.
