A mix of food and culture - This tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Tone, was a wealth of information about the relationship of food and the people of Lyon. We visited restaurants that we wouldn’t have appreciated on our own. The owners of the restaurants introduced us to their specialties. You don’t go home hungry.

Great food, fun history, knowledgeable and engaged hosts - Toné gave us a great tour. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the food and city. At every stop, we got a small lesson from the business hosting us as well as additional info from Toné. Would highly recommend.

Great Culinary Tour - This was an amazing tour! Firstly, you basically get your money’s worth based on the amount of food you eat—I wish I had skipped lunch beforehand. Secondly, Toné was a fantastic guide, answered lots of questions, made the experience very enjoyable, and helped me appreciate the culinary history and culture of Lyon. I recommend this tour!

Highly recommend - Fantastic food tour. Baptiste was an excellent tour guide. We walked the city having a
4 course dinner a cheese stop, meat stop (I had more cheese and other specialties since I don’t eat meat) We tasted local Lyonnaise cuisine, went to a true local bouchon. Delicious! Finally, nice ice cream (lemon was so good!) Also, got some great facts about the city. Which was perfect for us as our morning tour of the city was canceled.

Wonderful evening experience! - Great experience with some authentic foods of the region and small local eateries. Listing undersells the experience. Could use more details.
