the best way to discover Lyon - We couldn't ask for a better guide to get to know Lyon and its history. Nathalie was just fantastic, patient and very helpful. She has a wonderful relationship with all the sellers, which I really appreciated: you can see that it is not "just" work for her, but a real passion. The food and every wine tasted was extraordinary, and above all it was great to know the stories and curiosities behind every bite. In addition, Nathalie told us a lot of the city's history and led us to discover small shops (I loved the stop concerning silk). Also, it was my boyfriend's birthday, and she was kind enough to arrange a candle to put on the final dessert. Thank you very much for everything!

Perfect mix of food, culture and history! - This was such a wonderful tour. It was such a lovely combination of little snacks, culture and history of Lyon. I'd never thought about it before but so much history and culture and be taught through food so this really was a wonderful combination. The food was all wonderful! We had a light lunch beforehand as we had read other reviews indicating it was more snacky than full meal style food tour and this was perfect. Our guide Nathalie was excellent! She walked us through all of the tastings with fantastic expertise and wove it all into the story of Lyon wonderfully. Absolutely loved it. Perfect way to spend the afternoon of our arrival day in Lyon!

(re)Epicurean discovery of Lyon - Pierre made us have a great time during this visit: he knows the city and its history perfectly. His anecdotes were tasty, they even allowed the most Lyonnais of our group to learn new things. Mention should also be made to the establishments that have hosted us. We only met enthusiasts, and the products offered for tasting were all delicious.

Was fun but.... - The tour started out in a bit of a chaotic situation, The meeting place was a very large square with no definite point to meet in the app. Also it as dark with difficulty seeing people. I did not have France phone number until I arrived. My original US number did not work in France however, I salute the diligence and tenacity of our guide Emma. Wonderful young lady, bubbly, fun and informative. She found us in spite of the challenges. The tour was fun. I would recommend however, I hope Viator narrows down meeting point. This was a common issue with viator with several of our other tours.
