The best tour - Jeremy was prompt, knowledgeable and enjoyable company. He even helped us book restaurants during our tour! He will be engaging for all aged tour participants. We would not have appreciated/enjoyed Lyon anywhere near as much if we hadn’t done his tour. Thanks Jeremy from Sydney to you.
