Lyon Hop-On Hop-Off Tour with Audio Commentary

Google search offered out of date schedule causing us to not take up tour on Day 1. Interesting as a comparison to other "hop on/off buses" the tour is only the 1 day of booking and not as seems fairly universal - 24 hours. Operator was very helpful and allowed us to use our ticket for a full day the following morning. Friendly staff. New way of navigating via mobile app and play out loud or use own ear buds/headphones. No headphones available on tour. Well worth doing the loop and then repeating with stop. Beware no 1300 start (break for operator) last round trip 1800 - around 90 minutes complete

They did not tell us that from 13:00 to 15:00 no bus would pass because it was their lunch hour, they disrupted my day a little. 2 hours waiting for the bus.

Great way to see and learn about Lyon’s history. The app was easy to download and use, just be sure to bring your own headphones/earbuds. If I were here longer I would consider a two day pass. We did get stuck in late afternoon traffic, but that can happen in any big city.

There is a single.place where Viator vouchers can be turned in for the actual ticket - not any meeting point. That site is essentially close from 12:00-14:00, something only advertised at the site. Besides that pickup point, there are only 8 others. Bring your own earbuds/headphones to hear the audio tour

A great way to see Lyon. Enjoyed the open air top of the bus with the roof covering as it was very hot and this provided protection from the sun.

We always take the tourist tour when we visit a big city, so this time it is Lyon. We completed the entire tour without getting off the bus. The next bus is an hour later, so I am not taking any chances. Having the circuit on our phone is a hassle for us. We had our headphones, which was nice. I expected to have the headphones included. A person near us did not have headphones, and the sound was very loud. The others had their phones to their ears. To install the app on my phone, I received help from Jose (from Guatemala). He put a smile on my face (which I did not have at the beginning).

Good way to get a lay of the land. I road a lap around then walked back to the places I wanted to see more of. It’s a good way to figure out what you want to see.

Good service which wasn't crowded when we were there in May. Not sure how busy it would be in summer so always a risk with these types of service that there might not be space and you could be left queuing when you try to rejoin. Fine if you just want to do a circuit to see the city.

Bring your own Apple or Android compatible earbuds. The pre-recorded tour is available in many languages, all of which are played at extreme levels by apparently hearing impaired fellow travelers resulting in an unintelligible din. The on- board tour rep reeked of tobaco smoke.

We paid to the driver and started at Bellcour place at noon. We got off by Notre Dame de Fourvier at 13.05pm . When bus left we saw the notice that it is a lunch time until 15.35 pm . Understand, but bus never came back ( it was a last week on very rainy day) , we were waiting for almost an hour and got a taxi to get home.
