Great tour - We did both of Paul’s tours because they showed different areas of Lyon. Both were great and complemented each other well. He kept the group moving and gave interesting history and insights into the city without talking too much. It was a highlight of our trip.

Great tour of old Lyon! - Paul gave an insightful and entertaining tour to a perfect-sized group. He spent more than an hour and a half walking us around important sites in Lyon and was helpful in answering questions from the group. I'd highly recommend this tour as an introduction to Lyon, and be sure to give Paul a big tip because he works hard, and the tour is well worth it!
