Jeremie took us on a tour of some of the highlights of Old Lyon, and thoughtfully catered to our request for less climbing - difficult to do for an area built on a hill but he managed. He was knowledgeable of all things Lyonnaise and rightfully very proud of his heritage. Topics from religion, wars, food, architecture…and silk making. Explained all in an entertaining fashion. The time flew by! We were so intrigued by his stories that we decided to extend and stay in Lyon and continue our discovery. Thank you, Jeremie. When we return we will book you for another Lyonnaise adventure, and will happily recommend you to our friends! And thank you for the lunch recommendation…it was excellent!
We had 2 private tours in German in Lyon. Christine captivated us - despite the heat of 30 degrees. An immense knowledge!! We were allowed to dive into the world of silk production and admire the beautiful old town of Lyon with the unique Fourvière Cathedral on Saturday. Christine was like a dictionary. No question went unanswered. A clear recommendation! Thank you very much.
Magdalena was fantastic on our Silk Tour! She was engaging and charming and we hit it off beautifully! The tour was complete and informative and memorable! The final stop at the silk worms was so fun!
Magdalena was a fantastic guide! She was so knowledgeable of the town, the hidden passageways, how to get to the top and see the cathedral. I never really used guides before, but now I am a believer. She did such a great job of making sure we got a great lay of the land and to see things we would have NEVER have seen on our own, no matter how good we are as travelers.
Maicon has been an extraordinary guide through his knowledge and desire to share. We had a pleasant time, discovered the history of old Lyon, the Traboules, the origins ..... Thank you to Maicon for his unlimited availability and kindness. We will call on him again for other parts of Lyon Mrs. ALBERT Marie-Andrée
We arranged everything via email, it was fast responding and pleasant communication, we easily reached an agreement for the tour when it suited us, a very nice guide who professionally conducted the tour despite the increasingly heavy rain; in short, all praise for the communication and guidance!
A very pleasant, relaxed, and family-friendly experience for walking around the old city in a casual setting.
We took part in the tour of the old city of Lyon with Clément and we were really excited! He is a trained, passionate and very nice guide. He made us discover hidden corners, historical curiosities and fascinating anecdotes that made the visit really special. His storytelling is engaging and conveys a great love for the city. Thanks to him we could appreciate even more the charm of the Vieux Lyon and its unique history. We absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Lyon in an authentic and pleasant way!
We were a big group having a tour to old Lyon and Presqu-ile with our guide Jeremy and enjoyed every minute with him in this 3 hour tour. Beautiful city of Lyon (there is more here than meets the eye!) and a knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and very sympa guide Jeremy were a perfect combination. We will all return to Lyon one day again. Thank you for a truly beautiful and worthy experience.
