Megan was a superb tour guide. She was very knowledgeable about both the history and food of the region. In spite of the extreme heat, she kept us in shady places and reasonable walking distances. Distances. The selection of food we ate was great. Food tours are definitely one of my go-to's in a new city. I've never had a bad one.
It's 4 hours of history and food. Nate, our guide, was so knowledgeable and was the coolest dude! We had so much fun during the tour and the food... Delicious!
Wonderful Lyon Food Tour! Manu provided a lot of really interesting history and background on Lyon and it's rich food culture. Visited a traboule as well. Plenty of food, nice fellow travelers. Highly recommend this tour!
Very good food tour with information about the city, good food, and plenty to drink too! 😁
We explored Vieux Lyon with this food tour and got all the ins and outs about the gastronomic capital of France! Our guide told us interesting facts about the city, took us through some hidden passages and to authentic places to have us taste the best of the best. The cheese store was a reel discovery, as we got to taste local cheese and learnt how to pair them with wine. We got a generous tasting of different cold cuts and now know how to differentiate them (these were also paired with wine), and had some local delicacies at a traditional Bouchon. The tour ended with a typical pink sweet brioche like pie and coffee in another cute corner of town. The tour was well balanced between walking and tastings and even a visit to a silk workshop to learn about the ancient silk techniques. We got a useful list of recommendations in the end of restaurants where local people go (it is very easy to fall for a tourist trap in Lyon when it comes to food, so this came in handy!). Strongly recommend this tour and to plan it early during your stay in Lyon!
A moment of beautiful discoveries in a city we thought we knew. Nathalie is a motivated and very friendly guide.
