This is a must do if visiting Lyon
Camper60848766518, Jan 2026
Our guide Paul was an excellent and gave us a great run down on the history of Lyon both recent and ancient. The small passages of the old silk weaving area was somewhere we would not have found by ourselves. Ending the tour through the old town areas was similarly well presented If you only have 2 days in Lyon this tour is a must Andrew and Trish

Great experience!
