Lyon Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

The E-bike and walking food tour was a great combo. Covered lots of ground and the slower paced walking food tour was a nice compliment. Nate was a fabulous guide and did a nice pivot when we were not able to enter the Lyon City Park and Zoo.

Wonderful day spent with Anna. Great energy and wonderful company to explore Lyon. The tour itself is diverse and good sampling of Lyonnaise cuisine.

Nate was great and very informative. Riding was easy and a slow pace. We saw lots of interesting places and the tasting was excellent.

Polina our guide was fantastic. We had the most enjoyable time. Everything was well coordinated and smooth

Polina was a fabulous guide. We absolutely loved visiting the cheese factory and bee keeper. Lunch at a local restaurant was superb. Dinner preparation with Antoinne was lovely and delicious. A great day in Lyon!!

Absolutely — here’s a polished, natural version for a tour review: Writing We had a wonderful 2-hour walking tour of Lyon with Natalie. She was very informative, friendly, and accommodating. She shared so much interesting history and information about the city, and we really enjoyed exploring Lyon with her. We even made an unexpected stop at a local silk shop, which was such a fun addition to the tour. Natalie made the experience personal and enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend her!

Let me start by saying one should never turn down a pastry tour. Now, Anna's pastry tour goes well above the level of "Well, it's pastry, so, OK, sure, let's do it." Anna gives you a bit of history, a bit of local culture, and a lot of pastry. Do *not*, as we did, have a previously-made dinner reservation shortly after said tour (I know. An own goal if ever there were one.) Also, Anna is a terrific guide. Knowledgeable, personable, and a lot of fun to talk to. If you're going to Lyon, put Anna's tour on your list!

Like many Americans, my knowledge of France beyond Paris is, to say the least, lacking. Anna did a phenomenal job showing us a wide variety of Lyon pastries and treats, showing us some of the best and most delicious spots in the city. During the walks between pastry shops, she gave us a history of the city and showed us some of the "traboules" (secret passageways) hidden in plain sight.The pain au chocolat and eclairs I had were delicious which is only notable to me because in the US, I generally don't get those pastries as they are atrocious on this side of the Atlantic.If you are looking for 3 relaxing hours of fun and deliciousness, you've come to the right place.

The card is very useful, highly recommended

Anna was super friendly, very knowledgeable and very willing to adjust for my husbands allergy needs. So happy we did this food tour, it was a highlight of our trip!

Google search offered out of date schedule causing us to not take up tour on Day 1. Interesting as a comparison to other "hop on/off buses" the tour is only the 1 day of booking and not as seems fairly universal - 24 hours. Operator was very helpful and allowed us to use our ticket for a full day the following morning. Friendly staff. New way of navigating via mobile app and play out loud or use own ear buds/headphones. No headphones available on tour. Well worth doing the loop and then repeating with stop. Beware no 1300 start (break for operator) last round trip 1800 - around 90 minutes complete

I really enjoyed this walking trip!I wanted to practice French and my guide (I’m so sorry I can’t remember her name ☹️) could not have been kinder or more patient. She spoke slowly and clearly and put up with my limited French.I learnt so much about Lyon, which is beautiful and has a fascinating history.I’d thoroughly recommend this tour

Super visit with Alix in Lyon!

The Lyon City card was a bliss, giving us free entrances to the museums (there are many interesting ones), and it was super practical for transport. We just hopped from the bus to the subway and the tram and funicular by tapping the card and it saved us huge amounts. Very useful card and one of the best that we have had compared to other cities!

Great way to see and learn about Lyon’s history. The app was easy to download and use, just be sure to bring your own headphones/earbuds. If I were here longer I would consider a two day pass. We did get stuck in late afternoon traffic, but that can happen in any big city.

It was cheap enough that I just downloaded it, I happy I did. I rode the hop on bus then walked around town using this to see more sights. I only used it one day but probably saw 30 or more of the sights on the map. I spent about 5 hours walking and chasing down some of the sights. It was a great way to see the highlights when I had an afternoon to kill.
