this tour was very good
by anna from canada
The guide provided great information which gave us insight into the history of Lyon. Very informative. It was very helpful to have head phones to hear the guide at all times.
Beautiful river ride!

Boat trip on Soane
by james
Always something interesting to look at. Live commentary was okay, helpful that it was in English and French. Our boat was very busy, just depends what time of day you choose… we did mid afternoon. Best to start queuing about 20 minutes before departure time if you want an outside seat upstairs
A must!
by vince
great value if you choose to buy your Lyon city card! The Cruise is FREE! Great boat with huge windows and plenty of seats. The tour guy did a great job in introducing the history and buildings as well as fun facts all the way along the cruise in French and English! If this is your first time in Lyon, a must!
Relaxing Cruise on River
by brian
A pleasant afternoon cruise on the river. The commentary was in French and English. I found this a bit hard to listen too. Would be better to have a phone app with commentary in different languages or an audio guide with keys to press at specific points in the tour.
A city worth visiting
by jo
Very pleasant city. Lots of interesting musea, cafe's, restaurants. Nice streets to walk through.
Lyon city pass - well worth it
by a golf nut
The cost of the 2 day city pass is well worth it in our opinion.
Very good
