Our guide Shirine, was excellent. She provided great insight and information on history, religion and architecture while we all enjoyed amazing local food. I’d highly recommend it to anyone that wants an authentic tour.

Sherine was a charming and thoughtful host. Her knowledge of Lyon and the region was excellent and her ability to impart information while also being fun was impressive. The local shops that we visited showed the character of Lyon and introduced us to some specific and delicious gastronomical delights.
