Great way to tour Lyon with a local. - Enjoyable way to tour Lyon. Our tour guide Isabette was excellent and shared her passion for local food with us. Going through two secret passageways was a bonus as was the cheese restaurant.

Lovely experience, super guide - Really enjoyed this food tour, trying delicious, authentic local cuisine and at the same time learning about the unique history of the charming Lyon old town. Meandering alleys and secret passages, our knowledgeable guide Elizabetta was very considered in her selection of places visited - be it a fromagerie, bouchon or bar. She made this tour and Lyon a lovely experience. Appreciate her extra pointers too about what to look for in Lyon.

Well worth investing the time. - Nathalie was keen and knowledgeable, not only about the food history but the cultural and historical evolution of Lyon. Good to spend time with her
Unfortunately and frustratingly I can’t synthesise languages, but Nathalie coped brilliantly and translated for me to understand
Personally, even though the chocolate were all creative works of genius I would have preferred more charcuterie. But that may well be a male thing! The sweets (which seems an insult with the poor standard of sweets in the UK) were a pleasantly surprising taste explosion. Quite extraordinary and a culinary delight
Tour worth attending on many levels

Lyon with the best accompaniment - We had a wonderful tour with Nathalie. She told us a lot about the story, the culinary delights and gave us many tips. We couldn't have had a better escort. Thank you Nathalie.

A most enjoyable gastronomic tour - Toné, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable. His aim was to ensure that everyone in the group enjoyed the tour - we were all part of his team. We learned a lot about Lyon’s culinary traditions, both from Toné himself and from enthusiastic local ‘producers’ whose food we sampled. After the tour Toné kindly sent us a list of personal recommendations covering everything from coffee shops and bakeries to lunch, brunch and dinner venues. We heartily recommend this tour.
