Great tour guide!
"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. "

Fun experience for our family
"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!"

Perfect
"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. "

Extraordinary tour
"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. "

Wonderful Tour!
"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. "

Excellent guide
"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 guide"

A very knowledgeable lady
"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. "

Excellent guide, knowledgable and friendly
"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."

Friendly, very knowledeable 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. "
