wonderful, personal tour of lyon, focused on history - Toni is a naturally wonderful tourguide. He is warm, inclusive, extremely knowledgable, and just a super nice person to spend a few hours with. My group had 11 people, (2 families) and I was the only solo person, which was totally fine. Would recommend for solo, couple or families. Toni knew a lot about history and architecture. He pointed out lots of things I would have missed on my own and tells a lot of stories, which makes a tour very engaging. We saw other tours with like 40 people where the tourists had to wear headphones, honestly looked like hell. This is the one. It is a family business, and I like supporting small businesses and not corporate companies. Finally, Toni whats app’d everyone with where we had gone, restaurant and bar recs, and as I had mentioned I was continuing to Annecy, send me his and his wife’s favorite places there. I mean, what a personal touch. That is going above and beyond!

L&S France trip - Toni was superb. Period. We appreciated the education and the passion he showed in telling us interesting stories of the past in Lyon. He explained the historical periods and put things into context. His follow on suggestions were above the call of duty and appreciated. An unforgettable experience.

Fabulous tour guide! - Toni is so knowledgeable about the area. He has some very funny stories, great tips for restaurants etc. He was so relaxed, in a good way, we loved it from start to end. I would love to meet his wife whose family generations come from Lyon. Awesome tour, highly recommend. He even sent us more tips for the area after we had finished.

Absolut empfehlenswert! - Sehr interessante Stadtführung. Ich habe sehr viel über Lyon erfahren. Bereits im Vorauss wurde ich von Maud über Treffpunkt und Uhrzeit per WhatsApp informiert. Toni, unser Tourguide, hat uns so manches Gehrimniss der Stadt Lyon verraten. Im Nachhinein haben wir sogar eine Empfehlungsliste mit Restaurant, Bars etc. Erhlten. VIELEN DANK! Tour ist absolut zu empfehlen.! 😀

Highly recommend ! - Really enjoyed this tour ! Toni was very knowledgeable and personable. I learned a lot on the tour and it covered all the major sites of Lyon. After the tour Toni and Maud provided the participants with a detailed set of suggestions on restaurants and sites worth exploring further. Would highly recommend M&T Tours Lyon ! Price was very reasonable and the tour was an excellent value !

Never again! - It was canceled due to rain, but it could have happened as the rain was not that heavy and only lasted until 11am. This was my only tour of Lyon! Very disappointed! I nay never be back here, so I probably missed seeing some really amazing sights! Sad! 🥲 I saw other tours leaving as I made my way to the museum in the square! Oh well!
