Best part of our trip to Lyon! - If you're on the edge of if you need to do a guided tour of Lyon- let this be your sign to do it!! Toni was so amazing. This was the highlight of our time in Lyon and even of our trip in Europe. He was so fun to listen to, had an amazing understanding of the history, and could answer any question that we threw his way. We absolutely loved walking through the Traboules, learning about their part in history, and seeing the Roman theatre. These things would have been hard for us to find on our own so the tour was a fabulous way to see all the highlights, learn a lot, and have a great day. Toni was very personable and even sent an in-depth email after the fact with all the recommendations he gave us throughout the tour for where to go and eat. This tour is a must do if you're in Lyon. We got so lucky to get in last minute, thank you Toni we loved every second!!! -Kamryn and Lawson

10 Stars!!! - Our guide Tony went above and beyond any expectations I may have had about this tour. I have been on many tours, I always take a tour when I am traveling to a new city, and I'm so lucky to have chosen this one. Tony is extremely knowledgeable about the city, the history, the gastronomical details - he dives down into the finer points of all of these topics. The "above and beyond" - besides being super informative, you can tell that he genuinely loves his job and helping people learn about Lyon. He is very personable and has a great sense of humor as well. It was as if we were walking the city with a friend. Tony inquired if any of us on the tour were traveling anywhere else during our vacation. I mentioned I would be going to Marseille and then back to Paris. I also told Tony that I would not be able to remember everything he was telling us, he said no problem he would send a message with details on anything I would be interested in knowing. After the tour was over, I received a long email with information and recommendations regarding Lyon, Marseille, and Paris. Priceless! If you are reading this review and trying to decide whether to take the tour, now you know you have to take this tour. You're welcome!

A brief history of Lyon - Toni was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. Lyon is his adopted city but he has learned a lot about its history and culture, which he shares in an interesting and frequently humorous way. It was genuinely a small group tour, which allows for plenty of questions by participants. Excellent! Highly recommended!

Wonderful tour of Lyon - We had a great time exploring Lyon with Toni. His style was very friendly, factual and entertaining. We covered a lot on foot and learned a lot of interesting things about the history of Lyon. We would have not made the same impression of the city without Toni. We got to love it, thanks to this tour. He also provided lots of info on dining, sightseeing after the tour so our day was full and very pleasant.

Great way to visit Old Lyon. Engaging and Interactive guide, Toni was excellent and I highly recommend! - Maud reached out with specific instructions on where to meet the group. Toni, Maud’s husband was exactly where she told us to meet and was very engaging. He was aware the weather wasn’t ideal; cold, rained and hailed, with lots of wind gusts as well, so kept us moving under covered areas as much as possible. He was very knowledgeable and made sure to interact with us personally so he could provide us with recommendations for restaurants, sights, venues and museums as needed. When he learned my daughter had recently moved to the area, he offered to assist her in any way possible. Truly Toni went above and beyond.

Excellent gourmet gourmet restaurants - Excellent restaurant where we always enjoy meeting up, either as lovers, you and I, or with our daughters who are as greedy and gourmet as the two of us. A welcoming, kind and gracious staff; tasty dishes; an address that cannot be forgotten. Yveline and Gérard, from Belcodene
