Description

Discover the vibrant heart of Lyon on a guided walking tour led by passionate local experts. Stroll through the city’s storied streets and uncover both iconic landmarks and hidden gems, all while learning about Lyon’s fascinating history and culture from guides fluent in English and French.

Choose between a comprehensive 2-hour small-group experience, limited to 10 guests, or a shorter 1.5-hour tour with up to 18 participants. The longer option covers top sights like Fourvière Basilica, ancient Roman theatres, Vieux Lyon, the famous traboules, Place Bellecour, the Saône river, Place des Terreaux, the Bartholdi fountain, city hall, and the opera house.

If you prefer a more concise adventure, the 1.5-hour route highlights Vieux Lyon, the traboules, Place Bellecour, the Saône river, and the impressive Hôtel Dieu. Both tours offer plenty of opportunities for memorable photos and insightful stories about Lyon’s Roman roots, Renaissance silk trade, and pivotal role in World War II.

Your experience includes guidance from knowledgeable hosts, funicular tickets for the 2-hour tour, and insider recommendations for traditional "bouchon" restaurants. The tours are suitable for all ages and abilities, with mostly flat terrain and manageable walking distances. Food and drinks are not included, but you’ll leave with plenty of local tips.

Tours begin in central Lyon and are designed to immerse you in the city’s unique charm. Don’t miss your chance to explore Lyon like a local—spaces fill quickly, so check availability and book your spot today!
