Free Walking Tours at Lyon

Paul gave one of the best walking tours I have ever experienced. His expertise and passion for Lyon were truly remarkable. He took us to some truly hidden gems, and the more popular tourist spots. He is a great tour leader, even though we had a big group, I could always hear & understand him. 10/10 recommend you take this tour with him.

Paul gave such good suggestions and a lot of info I didn’t know. Definitely worth it!

Paul led an informative tour of Lyon Highlights. Great historical perspectives; easy to hear and understand even with the large crowd. Would have liked to join him on his other walking tours. Highly recommended!

I had a very nice time on the Essential Free Walking Tour with LyonExplorer! The guide was friendly and shared some great local tips, as well as interesting stories about the city’s history, architecture, and hidden spots like the traboules and Croix-Rousse hill. The walk was well-organized and covered a lot of Lyon’s highlights, making it a good introduction if you’re new to the city. That said, I think the tour could be even better with a bit more information and a touch more humor or interactive moments. While I enjoyed the experience and learned some fun facts, a few more jokes or engaging activities would have made it even more memorable. Still, I appreciated the guide’s passion for Lyon and the relaxed atmosphere. If you’re looking for a pleasant way to explore Lyon and get your bearings, this tour is a solid choice.

Paul was very informative and amusing as well. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk. Thank you

Paul is highly informative and has a great style. We saw things we would otherwise never have found.

The best way to visit Lyon.

Paul was energetic and knowledgeable about all things Lyon. The tour route was excellently designed.

I believe it's an excellent tour! Quentin adapted in a matter of seconds to weather conditions (we had both plenty of sun, as well as rain during the tour) and to the energy of the group (the tour was in the afternoon, after a hot day, full of visiting Lyon). It was great, hope to attend other Quentin's tours. Thank you!

Quentin did a great job. Highly recommend

Quentin has a lovely personality, is humorous and has excellent knowledge to impart on this tour. It was a totally enjoyable experience.

My partner and I really enjoyed this tour. Its a good starting point to get to know the city. It was a really busy Saturday with medieval celebrations and protests, but Quentin managed it well trying to avoid the crowds. I would highly recommend.

Bertrand was incredible! He gave us a thorough history of the area, contextualized every sight to see as it fits into the history of Lyon, provided helpful visual aids, and gave us the best recommendations. 10/10. No notes.

Such an insightful tour! This was a lovely way to learn about Lyon from a local, and the locations and themes of the the tour were so interesting. Thank you Bertrand for a fantastic experience in Lyon!

We were thoroughly impressed with this tour. The quality was that of one you'd pay a lot for. Paul's style of delivery was engaging and the pace was just right, giving the perfect amount of information, at the right speed, and sprinkled with a bit of humour. It also moved around different areas a lot, which helped us discover how varied the city was. The tour really gave an insight into the cultural and historical layers of Lyon. He took us to places that, otherwise, you just wouldn't know where there or that you were allowed to enter. Despite the high number of attendees, Paul was great at getting everyone's attention and raising his voice enough so that everyone could hear. He was also very good at managing the flow of people in the parts of the tour that included tight spaces like hidden alleys and passageways.

Quentin puts a lot of enthousiasm in his tour, the two hours from the Croix Rousse down the hill to the city center fly.

Paul is a fantastic guide and has researched so much information to share with the tour group. We learned so much about Lyon and saw places we would have never have found on our own. We would highly recomment choosing a this tour with Paul. Thank you Paul. Diane & Sydney (Australia)

Hugo was very entertaining and professional. He gave a fabulous overview of Lyon’s history and food culture. I would highly recommend this tour!

That was fantastic - one of the best walking tours I have done in a long time

Es war ganz ausgezeichnet!!! Einziger Kritikpunkt wäre, dass unsere Gruppe mit ca. 45 Personen fast zu groß war. Paul war unterhaltsam, informativ -auch mit vielen Bildern sowie Tipps- und sein Englisch ist perfekt. Wir können die Tour wärmstens empfehlen !

Quantin was a very passionate, engaging and entertaining guide, he gave us a broad picture of Lion history and guided us to main landmarks of the city. Highly recommend!

Fun, informative, and full of Lyonnaise flavor - great mix of history and humor!

Bon guide, informations pertinantes, rythme et durée parfaite pour un tour decouverte.

Professional and funny, polite and informative. We have done a lot of Guru walks and he was up there with the best...👍🏻

Great guide! Really enjoyed it!
