If you will be in Lyon more than 1 day you should definitely consider adding this to your itinerary. - Tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. More food and wine than I expected! Good value. Lots of tricky stairways. Stop at the cheese shop was my favorite.

Tastes of Lyon - Our guide was great and our favorite places we went were the sausage tasting and the cheese tasting at their stores. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging and took time to show us several traboules and gave us other recommendations. It was a small group and very enjoyable.
