This tour felt disjointed. Even though the weather wasn’t great, we felt our guide didn’t take into consideration that 6 of the 8 people on the tour were seniors- a lot of steps with just basic overview.

Our guide did a great job of adapting the tour to meet our expectations. We all had a great time exploring Lyon!

Diego was extremely prepared for the tour and arrived early at the planned location despite the rainy conditions. During the tour, he explained and showed us many wonderful educational and cultural aspects and places in old town Lyon. He was funny, considerate and a great guide. I could not recommend him to you more highly.

The tour guide Dilac was wonderful. He showed me all the most beautiful places in Lyon and explained in details of the history of each. Thank you Dilac now I have more knowledge of Lyon history. Thanks again for adjusting the tour to my request!

This was a great tour. We learned a lot about the two hills of Lyon, and the people who lived on them from the Gauls through the Romans and the Canuts and their eventual revolution. Didac was a terrific guide who really knew his stuff and made the whole 3 hours super interesting. He even played music to inspire us on the steps! We highly recommend!

Didac provided us with a thorough understanding of both Fourviere and Croix Rousses. His easy manner added to the experience, and knowing that the tour covered a great deal of climbing and descending, he was sensitive to our capacity. A highlight of our time in Lyon.

Our guide Didac was terrific, knowledge , friendly and anthusiastic. this is a great way to see most of the city by foot . If your an active person you will love it. it’s walking not hiking. it Starts at the church and roman ruins ( the hill that prays) then thru the old city to the other hill ( the hill that works ) to the part of the city where the silk workers were. Now funky very bohemian with great murals, like the east village in NYC, wonderful.
