The guide makes all the difference - Nicky is the best! Superb English, and did a fantastic job. Well it wasn’t entirely a food tour, it was still a great dive into Lyon and the food scene

Superb info and fun time - We had a lovely afternoon walking through the Old Town of Lyon with Nicolas and our group. The highlight was definitely the history and factual info (all in a fun way) throughout the tour. All previous reviews on the amount of food is correct - we chose this tour for a great combo of food and info and that’s what we got. Highly recommend!

Amazing and very knowledgeable tour guide! - Way above our expectations! We just signed up to try out some nice food and but it ended up being a city tour with a focus on food! Our tour guide was a historian, specialized in food! so as you can imagine, from the history of the city to the eating habits, influences, fusion cuisine etc. he walked us through the history & cuisine of Lyon !

A Must!!! - I did this tour on my first full day in Lyon. I have done many of these during my husband and my travels, but this was my first one solo. It was beyond amazing!! Vincent was brilliant and shared so much of beautiful Old Lyon to prepare me for my two week work stay. The stops we made were beyond lovely! It is a must do on arrival to Old Lyon!! Merci beaucoup!!
