Unmissable activity, charming and interesting! Even more so for a short stay in Lyon… Walking alone in the streets we would never have discovered the “bowels of old Lyon”, the guide made us live the history of his city and showed us the most beautiful corners. We had taken the last slot to do the night, ENCHANTED! A big thank you for this exceptional moment!!!! Recommended for all ages and 1000%

An excellent discovery of Lyon. The tour guide takes care of his clients, of his guests I would say, he liked his job and his city and he puts you at ease from the first moment. Despite the crowd in old Lyon, because of the festival of lights, he wanted to honor the journey and weave his way between people in the small alleys of this magnificent city to make us discover unusual places. Thanks Michael. 2 hours of pure happiness. I highly recommend this guidebook.
