Amazing Food Tour in Lyon - We had an AMAZING time with our tour guide Toné! I highly recommend this tour- we learned so much about Lyon, the food and a bit of history. The places we tried were delicious and the people we talked with shared their passion of food, drinks and highlighted local foods and traditions. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour and amazing guide Toné! - This tour was incredible. Toné was a wonderful guide and we were very impressed with not just the food we ate but also the history and stories and recommendations that he shared along the way. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Lyon! It was our favourite part of our whole visit there.

Highly recommend - This was a fantastic tour and perfect for our first evening in Lyon. Elisabetta shared a wonderful overview of the old town. We were really impressed with the shop owners - particularly the cheese shop and the syrup/meat shop. It is a small group and we took up 6 spots (kids are 21, 20, 18, 18) and they willing tried it all and enjoyed the experience. If you go early in your trip you can go back to the shops like we did.
