If you are in Lyon you can't give this a miss. Our guide was Nathalie who was so vibrant and engaging that three hours just passed in a jiffy. Nathalie started the tour with a brief history of old Town and soon we were in our first stop of food tasting. First it was about the cold cut meats which were served with bread and red wine.
Then we headed towards our next stop which was cheese tasting. Different varieties of Lyon's special cheese were served to us with white winr. On our way she shared many interesting facts about the food culture of Lyon and through an interactive session she made it really interesting. After that we visited a silk weaver's showroom and learned about the history of silk and weaving in Lyon. Next stop was for dessert, where we had the special Praline dessert of Lyon and the last one was this delicious ice cream of special flavors.
The tour is more than value for money and there is plenty of food on the platter. One wouldn't know such an interesting food journey was even possible until they experience this.
