What My Guests Think of Me

Leslie 13 February 2026

I had a private tour with Eillin and she was absolutely wonderful. When we met, Eillin asked me what my interests were and gauged how much I knew about Lyon. I am a big foodie and not the biggest history buff, and Eillin tailored my entire tour around what I was interested in. She was extremely knowledgeable and kind, and I would 100000% recommend this tour to future clients in Lyon.

Great!!

Eillin was responsive and an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. I do appreciate the company's flexibility when they allowed us to add two people to the group.

Hi, I’m Vivi

Lyon

What I love most about Lyon is that it feels like many cities in one - modern and old, traditional and artistic, full of devotion, hard work, and of course, world-class gastronomy. I adore how every corner has its own personality, from the murals and hidden traboules to the vibrant festivals and the irresistible energy of the markets. You’ll often find me wandering through Croix-Rousse or Guillotière, neighborhoods I know like the back of my hand, soaking up their creative spirit. Whether it’s savoring fresh flavors at Halles de Lyon, taking in the view from Fourvière, or exploring the cultural heart of the Presqu’île, I can’t wait to share my favorite stories and hidden gems with you - always with a smile and a good laugh along the way!

Hi, I’m Voli

Lyon

What I love most about Lyon is its amazing food, cultural diversity, and family-friendly vibe. The city is always buzzing with events, and I especially enjoy the lively atmosphere of Croix-Rousse and the beautiful scenery along the Rhône and Saône rivers. I love exploring restaurants and bars in Croix-Rousse and spending time with my family at Parc de la Tête d'Or, where there’s a zoo and plenty of activities for kids. I know neighborhoods like Croix-Rousse, Parc de la Tête d’Or, and the City Center inside out, and I can also teach French basics while we explore. I’ll make sure you experience Lyon with fun, warmth, and a true local perspective.
