Description
What sets our pedicab tour apart is the blend of intimacy, flexibility, and dynamism. Unlike traditional tours, our private pedicab experience allows you to explore Lyon's charming streets, hidden gems, and renowned landmarks more intimately. With the ability to navigate narrower lanes and access areas off the beaten path, you're guaranteed a tour that goes beyond the ordinary. Our tour is not just about sightseeing; it's about immersing yourself in the life of Lyon. It's dynamic, allowing for spontaneous stops and detours based on your curiosity. Want to take a closer look at the stunning murals, or perhaps a surprise visit to a local artisan's shop? Our flexible itinerary makes it possible. In a reduced timeframe, our pedicab tour covers more ground than any walking tour could, without sacrificing depth for breadth. This means you get to see and experience more of Lyon's magic, history, and culture in a way that's both efficient and deeply engaging.

A pedicab is a fun, easy way to see the sights of Lyon. Our driver, Vincent, was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We highly recommend him!

A great way to get acquainted with Lyon’s history
Great way to learn about Lyon’s history and architecture. We really enjoyed our 2 hour journey. The pace was perfect and the pedicab allowed us to see so much more versus walking to all the destinations.

Great way to tour the city!
We had an excellent tour with Divic on May Day! He picked us up at our hotel and within minutes was customizing the tour to some of our interests. We toured the city park with botanical gardens, went into a food emporium, and then travelled into the old city. He is very informative and his English was great. Had a lovely time exploring Lyon!

Tour of Lyon in Pedicab.
By choosing a Pedicab guided tour, we covered more grounds in 2 hours than a 2-hr walking tour. Afterward, we were able to explore more grounds on our own.

Original walk to discover Lyon
Ideal experience to discover the most authentic points of Lyon, in an ecological and personalized way. Big plus: the guide picked us up in front of our place of residence. Many thanks to Marc for his scholarship and the quality of his comments.
