Great walking tour through Lyon! - I was running late so I texted Paul beforehand and he answered right away and sent me his live location. Very good insights into the history and learned quite a few things about Lyon in a very fun and entertaining way (good insider tips regarding food etc as well!) I definitely recommend Paul's tour :)

A Fine Tour of Old Lyon - Paul was very knowledgeable and gave a very fine tour. His recommendations for places to eat were excellent. We also noticed how thoughtful he was to keep his tour from interfering with the normal activity of the places we were touring.
