The Lyon city walk with Annick was absolutely delightful: she showed us wonderful places in the old town that we would never have been able to discover on our own, since they are not even in guidebooks. Annick is very knowledgeable about the history of her lovely city. Overall, it was a great experience—thank you, Annick!

We wanted an ‘off the beaten track’ tour to discover the traboules. Many thanks to Christine, who perfectly met our expectations with a friendly, conversational tour of the traboules in the old town. From the first contact, which was responsive and efficient, to the end of the walk, everything went perfectly—even the weather and the ice cream… It was fantastic and we would gladly do it again. Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk through Lyon with Marie Claire. We discovered the Presqu’île, Saint-Jean and Fourvière neighbourhoods with a pleasant, smiling and attentive Greeter who shared her love of the city with us. With the traboules, beautiful inner courtyards and medieval staircases, our tour of central Lyon was complete. Thank you to Marie Claire and the Lyon Greeters.
