a great time!! lots of historical information about Lyon while having a very fun time. It went by very quickly and I think we will remember much more than a traditional guided tour. In short, we loved the concept! and our guide was just great: full of humor, very attentive to everyone, and an excellent actress, we immediately got carried away in this story of printers. Bravo Clémence!!

Great approach compared to a standard tour. Our agent A was just exceptional and took us into old Lyon and its traboules through the tribulations of the widow Catherine...with a lot of theatrical talent. I will highly recommend this tour to my acquaintances

The visit was very interesting and lively. The story told was also the best part of this outing. We would have liked more historical information but the guide, who was very accessible and kind, answered our questions aside. I highly recommend !

Very well led by a real actor. Good formula to introduce old Lyon to friends. Add a little history perhaps in the introduction. The host had real talent. It's enjoyable.
