Very good and friendly guide
A nice city for few days
by lizl
Lyon is a wonderful city, peaceful and with such a good vibe. I loved that you could see the river all the time. The public transportation is really convenient and it's a city friendly to the citizens and tourists. It's worth to come and see monuments for few days. An excellent option to relax and stroll around pitoresque roads.

Informative cruise
by gc
On a beautiful sunny day we enjoyed this cruise on the Saone river. Very informative guide (in English and French) pointing out all the sights and landmarks. We would do this again.
Great boat ride!

What a nice city ...

The Lyon Card was undoubtedly a superb experience. All went perfect.
Excellent mini break
by izzy
The boat trip was very enjoyable. The commentary was full of information and entertaining. The English of the host was excellent. The boat was clean and comfortable. If we visit Lyon again we would like to do one of the other boat trips.
The cathedral trip was good. The views from the top are superb and the view of the mosaics is impressive. The commentary is perhaps a little long even the French speakers looked a little tired. Overall though good value and well worth doing.
A great experience in Lyon

We purchase Only Lyon cards that were excellent value. We were there for 4 days and used the cards for transport and entry to the museums.
In particular we loved the Roman Musée and ruins, Lumiere Musée and the Catherine’s walking tour of the silk and Troubles. The Musée of confluences was also worth the visit.
It is a very easy city to get around with interlinking trains, trams and buses.
My wife and I are seniors and every time we hoped on public transport, young people would willingly give up their seats for us.
The young people and others that we encountered were all very friendly.
We loved the city and the food and we highly recommend it to others
Quick trip to Lyon
