Lyon
I suggest exploring the hills of Lyon, referred to as Fourviere and Croix-Rousse. Each is situated close to the city center and plays a crucial role in the history, culture and identity of the city of Rhone.

Marvelous views on hills - The tour guide Dilac was wonderful. He showed me all the most beautiful places in Lyon and explained in details of the history of each. Thank you Dilac now I have more knowledge of Lyon history. Thanks again for adjusting the tour to my request!

Great walking tour! - This was a great tour. We learned a lot about the two hills of Lyon, and the people who lived on them from the Gauls through the Romans and the Canuts and their eventual revolution. Didac was a terrific guide who really knew his stuff and made the whole 3 hours super interesting. He even played music to inspire us on the steps! We highly recommend!

Didac is the guide you want. - Didac provided us with a thorough understanding of both Fourviere and Croix Rousses. His easy manner added to the experience, and knowing that the tour covered a great deal of climbing and descending, he was sensitive to our capacity.
A highlight of our time in Lyon.

Great way to see Lyon - Our guide Didac was terrific, knowledge , friendly and anthusiastic. this is a great way to see most of the city by foot . If your an active person you will love it. it’s walking not hiking. it Starts at the church and roman ruins ( the hill that prays) then thru the old city to the other hill ( the hill that works ) to the part of the city where the silk workers were. Now funky very bohemian with great murals, like the east village in NYC, wonderful.

Very kind & enthusiastic guide - highly recommended in order to discover the old town of Lyon. I was the only participant of the day, but the guide didn't mind of it. He explained enthusiastically important facts of the history of Lyon. Very pleasant experience !
신청했던 다른 투어는 일방적으로 캔슬당했는데 이 가이드는 매우 친절하게 투어를 진행했습니다. 리옹 여행 첫날에 신청해서 구시가지를 훑은 덕분에 남은 여행이 더욱 알찼습니다.

Excellent tour guide! - Didac was a wonderful guide full of interesting stories about the sights, both historic and modern. He has many interests and could talk about anything from the Roman era to the current music in the city. He accomodated a late start and continued thru a rainstorm to show us all the sights on the tour. He is fit and walks fast, but will slow down if asked. We finished the tour at a cafe to have a wine and talk more about the city. Excellent experience!
