Excellent food tour
by jax
An enjoyable tour where we learned and tasted a lot. Our guide was charming and knowledgeable. We also loved hearing from the producers about their history and their products. Also good to be able to sit down is some places. Highly recommend.
Great tour, even if you aren’t a foodie

The tour is a bit long and the food is interesting, but not amazing. The best part by far is the tour guide, who gave us so much information about the history and local culture of Lyon. She was amazing!
Great service!

A great afternoon
by owen
Our host was warm, welcoming, engaging and very knowledgeable, the food stops were excellent, they gave a real insight into Lyon its food, wine, beer and ice creams, alongside the access to the silk weaving which is integral to Lyon. The tour is great as you get to meet and spend time with the owners of a few of shops which again gives a real insight to the food and their passion.
Walking through the old town understanding the history of Lyon and its food goes hand in hand.
I would recommend this tour as a great way to discover the rich history and great food Lyon has to offer, we weren't disappointed.

Delicious and interesting
by ssloane
Pauline was a delightful tour guide. She explained all about the Bouchons and introduced us local cheeses, charcuterie, pastries, tea, wine and other foods. We ate what is roughly a large lunch, but not so much that the attendees felt they would not be able to eat dinner.
A wonderful taste of Lyon
by kevinhkan
We had an amazing time being introduced to the different foods on this tour. The cheese experience was a standout - however it was all wonderful. We still talk about it many months later. This tour added an extra dimension to our visit to Lyon. Many thanks.
