Elisabetta is Amazing.
"She was so knowledgeable about the history of Lyon. We saw so many beautiful places and very special shops and eateries. She is very kind and a lot of fun. You will have a wonderful tour with Elisabetta!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our evening hosted by Joelle and Phillipe! Their food was fabulous, their home lovely, and the view is amazing. We were joined by two others and truly enjoyed our evening. Merci beaucoup Joelle and Phillipe!

"We had a wonderful day with Elizabetta she was so sweet and very interesting. Had lots of great stories and anecdotes for us. We got a great feel for the town and its history. We discussed other places we were going to go see and restaurants and after the tour, she very sweetly sent us a lot of suggestions and restaurant information. Highly recommend her."
"Joelle's market tour and cooking class were exceptional. First we walked through the fresh outdoor market purchasing items we'd be using in the food preparation. Then we returned (through pouring rain) to her house where we prepared and cooked the meal. Joelle is upbeat and we had a delicous meal and a wonderful time cooking, eating, and spending time with a French person. This was our first experience with \"withlocals\" and I'd definitely schedule another tour."
"She was a great guide with lots of inside info and background on history as well as new happenings in Vieux Lyon. She also shared good info on shopping and dining that was very helpful! Love With Locals!"
"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. "
"Caroline is simply the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Please understand that I not only used to be a tour guide decades ago but I’ve hired numerous guides over the years, so I don’t say this lightly. She is the most professional, knowledgeable, and collegial person I’ve had the pleasure to tour with. "
"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. "
