Excellent food tour

Our walking food tour in Lyon was an absolute delight — Sherene was engaging, knowledgeable, and full of humor that made our experience even more enjoyable. We loved each and every stop, and Sherene was an excellent guide.
Highly recommend !!
Excellent!
by derek
Our guide Nate is a brilliant guide who is both knowledgeable and passionate about his home city.
We can highly recommend the four hour food tour. There were 5 different stops to sample the delights of Lyon cuisine.
Nate was highly entertaining and we also learned lots about the history of the city.
Food Tour of Lyon
by ashley heeley
We chose to do the food tour on our first day in Lyon as a way of discovering the Old Town and eat some lovely food. The tour was well paced and informative. The guide was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The venues were well chosen and the food of course lovely. The places of interest were fascinating, particularly the Traboules . We followed up eating at the restaurant we visited (lfabulous) and buying some cheese from the Fromagerie (although we couldn't take it home due to new restrictions that have been brought in so we had a nice picnic at Gare du Nord. Overall, a great experience and start to the holiday.

Really fun food tour
by julie from oregon, usa
This tour was fun and delicious. It centered around food, but also included some basic information about the city and its history. Our guide, Axtell, was knowledgeable and personable. We enjoyed it very much, and would recommend to a friend.
Food tour of Vieux-Lyon
by karen s.
It was our first visit to Lyon and the four hours flew by in the company of our tour guide Vincent. He was knowledgeable and funny, we learnt so much about Lyon including the silk workers and the traboule. We sampled cheeses, saucissons, chocolates, the famous pink praline tart and all with suitable refreshments! Vincent also took us to a proper Bouchon and made sure we could distinguish the authentic ones from the many tourist traps.
I can’t recommend this tour enough.
Great food tour

- Original Bouchon de Lyon Ich typical food
- Great wine at BMD (stands for drink, eat and relaxe)
- best natural chocolate ever and original liquor
- Great recommendations for sight seeings by Vincent
- lot of information about historic sites
All in all it was a very very interesting tour and time went very fast.
Lyon and Around
by sona
Had a wonderful time in Lyon. the visitor centre was a good place to decide on the day's activities and places to go to in Lyon. and also recommended two very good tours- Full day tour to Perouges + Beaujolais area and the Lyon Food tour. Both of these were excellent
Amazing Experience!
