A thousand thanks to Claire, our guide
Excellent tour of old Lyon. Our guide Claire introduced us to this historic neighborhood with humor, great talent, and was always willing to advise and help us with our other visits. A true delight. Thank you, Claire, for this very pleasant visit; our Spanish students loved it.

New Generation Guide, led by Alex, is your go-to for all things Lyon.
We had a wonderful private tour with Alex. He was engaging, informed and interesting. Also very easy to talk to and happily answered any questions we had. The pace of the tour was also perfect and gave us time to soak it all in. Highly recommend.

A concise and pleasant visit
Marie our guide, was able to help us discover old Lyon and its historical and architectural particularities in an hour. A bit academic, but fun and informative! Even without being a great athlete, the tour is easy to do, without any particular effort.

Great Experience in Lyon.
Alex delivered a fantastic tour of Vieux-Lyon that was exactly what I had asked for. He was knowledgeable, networked, professional and funny. Everybody in my group of 4 liked him a lot and we saw things we never would have found without him. For me the two highlights were the Cathedral (sculpture, clock) and the silk shop and workshop. He also recommended a great restaurant for lunch afterwards.

Online? No problem!
The Conference I was planning to attend was entirely online, and the social programme was also converted into virtual visits over Zoom, which proved an excellent opportunity to get to know the city; at the end everybody was looking forward to being able to visit in person as soon as possible. Bravissimo Alex!

All right.
The visit was very cool and interesting. The guide is very nice and friendly and you feel that he loves his work and knows a lot about the history of Lyon. By her good humor the guide is great. He also gives good advice or go eat or drink.
