Great tour! Much more of a history lesson. You don’t cover very much ground. Concentrated on Bellcor and the old city. I enjoyed what I did see, however I was wanting to visit all of the areas of the peninsula.
Our guide Mickaël is friendly and clearly passionate 👍 great one-hour tour, very interesting and pleasant
A big thank you to our guide who knows his city and its history perfectly, a very enriching exchange, very attentive, to be done without any hesitation Eric Faty
We had a good time. Got to go to places down tiny roads with beautiful cafes and stores regular vehicles cannot broach
WOW! This was beyond our expectations. We learned so much about Lyon! We took all the advice of our guide down to what to order for dinner and where we should eat! He showed us things we will do tomorrow where we can spend more time.
Wonderful experience! Our guide was no knowledgeable and went above and beyond to show us all the things in old town Lyon! I highly recommend!
Michael was a truly delightful and expert tour guide. He isn’t just an informed tour guide. He’s also a natural storyteller and a pleasant and attentive person. My wife and I found every moment of the tour fun and informative. We could hear and understand him well, and he was highly attentive to both our surroundings and our questions. He also maximized our comfort on the entire ride. Anytime we wanted to stop for a photo, he cooperated. And sometimes he coached us about waiting for an even better photo than the one we were about to take. We cannot recommend him highly enough!!
The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, flexible, and I learnt a lot- got a sense of the city quickly that then allowed me to explore further on my own. The guide knows Lyon’s history well.
A great way to see a lot in a short while - we took the 2 hr option and I think you’d need 2 hrs in Lyon! We had lots of opportunities to walk around and also our driver - Michael - positioned the bike for best photos plus also took photos for us. Michael was very knowledgeable and his English was good!
Very beautiful activity, the guide was super nice. We learned a lot of things. I recommend it without hesitation.
