Excellent tour even in the rain! - Konstantin was wonderful! He had many interesting stories to tell and was very warm and friendly. He contacted us ahead of time to see what interested us and even though is was light rain throughout our tour, he made it very pleasant!

Highly recommended tour by the trabouless - The tour was very complete and our Guide Konstantin Masajlo was very patient and helpful. In this guided tour we were just the two of us, a couple. The Guide with a very clear and easy to understand English. He took the course calmly and in our time. He gave tips on how to get around the city and talked about everything with us. We entered several traboules and after the tour we went to lunch the dishes indicated by him. The meeting point is in front of the statue of Louis XVI at Bellecour Square.

Excellent Tour - This was an excellent tour. Konstantin is a good communicator and a top notch guide. His knowledge of the history of Lyon was impressive and educational. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to visit all the famous sites plus he skillfully avoided the crowds. At the conclusion of the tour, he kindly directed us back to our hotel.

Great personal tour - Konstantin was a great tour guide, lots of local knowledge and very wise for his years. He tailored the tour to show us the many sights we wanted to see and shared his insight. We loved not to be with a group .
