Loved Lyon

Lyon is a marvelous city. It was more beautiful than we expected and there was so much to do and see. Definitely get the Lyon City Pass for as many days as you can: it offers unlimited access to all public transit, free entry into all but one of the city's museums, a tour of the Old Town and a boat trip; well worth the cost. And of course, the food lived up to its reputation.
Informative and Interesting tour

My appreciation for the Vieux Lyon increased after going on this tour. It was really interesting to hear about the traboules and walk through them. Fabulous!

Very good, the guide was very friendly and we learned a lot about Lyon old town
Excellent introduction to Lyon, its history and people
by kathleen
Our walking tour of Vieux Lyon which we took on the morning after our arrival was an excellent introduction to the city on our first visit. Our guide Veronique was very generous in sharing her time and knowledge of Lyon, its history, society and people with us and made us better appreciate this lovely and fascinating city. Her multi-faceted and layered responses to questions from the groups displayed her extensive knowledge and passion, and made us want to learn more. We would have happily spent all day with her! Thank you!

Very interesting tour !

This quick tour was super interesting and gave us a good overview of the city. Shout out to the guide who had to manoeuvre us in the narrow streets of the old Lyon during the busiest WE of the year !
Peek into historical Lyon
by catherinen_nyc
The walking tour was different than what I expected, because it was only 1 hour it was very focused on certain elements of Vieux Lyon.
Our guide showed us the old passageways and the way the houses were built in Medieval times. We didn’t go in any buildings just the passageways.
I think it could’ve been longer and with different elements. 1 hour is very short for a tour
Great visit
by klfornia
Our guide was knowledgeable and provided lots of titbits about Vieux Lyon that you wouldn't necessarily find in guide books. I would highly recommend her on future tours.
Great Experience
by frances
I did a one hour tour of the old city on a lay-over in Lyon. It was a great experience, giving me an overview of places I could visit later. I thought the choices offered by the Tourist Office were excellent. Wish I could have taken advantage of more of them.

The one hour tour was informative but rushed and we would have liked at least 90 minutes to see more of the old town
