I learned so much and enjoyed walking in Lyon and Vieux Lyon tasting local food which we purchased and Mina-Louise had already purchased in preparation of my private tour and had in her picnic basket. Delicious food and unique to Lyon. I would recommend this tour.
Thank you Mina-Louise !Mina-Louise is a great guide

Emma provided a fun and interesting tour of Lyon, which we enjoyed. She answered our many questions and was pleasant and helpful throughout. I think a little more unsolicited history of the city and local insights would have been helpful, as well as an introductory overview of the geography of the city with a map to help us orient ourselves during the during and throughout our stay. She seemed fairly new to the job and hadn't quite developed the level of patter typical of a tour guide, but we enjoyed our tour with her and would recommend her to others.Fun and Interesting Tour

Elisabetta gave us a great introduction to Lyon.
She explained particularly well the history and showed us places we would never have found by ourselves. It was a great way to start the trip.
We were then able to explore Lyon far better informed
I thoroughly recommend this as an option for people who have never visited Lyon as the history and town are quite complicated.
She is an excellent guideExcellent guide

We spent a very pleasant & informative morning with Elisabetta. I’m quite sure that most things she showed us we could never have dreamt of finding on our own. Elisabetta is also an extremely friendly person, so we felt like we were doing the tour with a good friend. A very knowledgeable lady

Emma was friendly and laid back, knowledgeable without being over-the-top. She seamlessly wove together a tour that brought together elements of history, politics, food, art, culture and modern living, bringing us places we would never have found on our own, and she timed everything perfectly for a wonderful tour of Lyon.Excellent guide, knowledgable and friendly

We had a great time with Elisabetta in Lyon. She was very knowledgeable and professional and she showed us details and hidden places in the city. Our visit to Lyon would not have been the same without her. We definitely recommend her services. Great tour guide!

Elisabetta was extremely warm, helpful, and an expert in Lyon history and culture. We had a fantastic time walking through Vieux Lyon, and we feel like we’re coming away with a richer understanding of Lyon’s development from Ancient Rome through the modern renovation of Vieux Lyon in the 1960s through today. We also stopped by numerous traboules, food and artisan shops, and monuments across history. We highly recommend Elisabetta for anyone visiting Lyon. Friendly, very knowledeable guide

We had an enjoyable time with Mina as she walked us to a variety of spots around Lyon, told us a bit of history and offered us tastings of food and drink along the way. Beautiful views of the city and yummy food and wine. She also had an offering for our kids who don’t drink wine. It was an enjoyable 3 hours! Thanks, Mina!Fun experience for our family

We has a magnificent tour with Elisabetta. She and I corresponded several times before my arrival in Lyon to help set expectations for the tour (three-hour orientation on our first day in Lyon) and get advice about restaurants, must-see attractions and museums. She connected with us about 24-hours before the tour to re-confirm the plans… and met us right on time. Elisabetta shared great information about Lyon’s history, culture, arts and dining and wine scene— incredibly useful information that helped recalibrate the itinerary for our remaining five days in the city. And when the tour was done she sent detailed notes about what we visited along with ideas for further exploration on our own… AND she invited us to reach out to her with any questions that came up during our stay in Lyon. Elisabetta is a tour professional at the top of her game— and a genuinely warm and kind person to spend time with. Extraordinary tour

Our three and a half hours with Elisabetta were a treat. Full of keen insights, too many "gems" we would never have found on our own and an enjoyable interaction throughout. The only reason we don't rate it a 10 relates to the abnormally hot weather which I suspect is beyond her control. Thanks to both Elisabetta and WithLocals.Hidden Gems, Indeed!

We had a great time with Elisabetta and learned so much about Lyon’s history. We explored the old town and many nice spots we wouldn’t have found ourselves.
We had our 2 children with us and she made the tour enjoyable for them with illustrated historical cards without it taking away at all from our experience. We loved the cards too.
She gave us many recommendations after the tour for a variety of good places to eat, drink, etc.
Happy we booked with Elisabetta. Wonderful Tour!

We had an excellent tour with Elisabetta. I had notified her only the day before that we had already had 2 walking tours of Lyon and asked if she could modify our itinerary to reduce duplication. In spite of the short notice, she brought a list of suggestions and we selected new experiences, though to be fair we did walk past some previously seen monuments which she told us new information about! Elisabetta was very relaxed, pleasant and knowledgeable. Even though we had some slower members of our party, she did not rush the experience and even spent extra time with us to make sure we had a good experience without any mention of money or tip! Needless to say we tipped extra. Highly recommend this tour with Elisabetta. I believe she also has a food tour and if its as good as the confection shop she showed us on our tour, I'm sure that would be memorable!Fantastic Lyon Tour with Elisabetta
