Free Walking Tours at Lyon

Bertrand was a genuine nice guy. Super knowledgeable, super friendly, had a great sense of humour and very curious about history. He brought the experience of walking the Traboules to life. I would definitely recommend doing the morning tour. Thanks so much!

One of the best walking tours I‘ve ever taken, Bertrand did an amazing job of explaining the city history, interesting architecture, local culture and so on in a very fun way. 10/10 recommended, also his other tours!

Jonathan fue muy divertido, nos dio mucha información interesante y nos mantuvo con intriga hasta el final. Me encanto! Lo recomiendo!!

Jonathan è stato chiaro, vivace, affatto noioso, molto interattivo e con un bel tono di voce. Inglese fluente e ben scandito e quindi facilmente comprensibile. Bravo!

Really loved this tour! The information was super interesting, delivered very well. I loved the little fun things you’d never really know walking around the city, all Roman information & the little quiz at the end. I’ve done walking tours in lots of European cities & this one was one of the best!

It was really a fascinating tour. Charlotte told us interesting details about the silk industry and other specialties of that quarter. This really helped me understand much better why buildings and passageways look the way they do. And we discovered quite a few hidden ways. :) Thank you so much! much recommended!

A very educated and polite guide.

Charlotte was quite knowledgeable, and was kind to explain details about the history of the places and how they have evolved to the present days. It was very entertaining. I recommend the tour.

A very interesting and fun 2 hours

Very nice Off beaten path, friendly, informative

I had a fantastic experience on the free walking tour in Lyon with Emre as our guide. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city. The tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and fun stories that really brought Lyon to life. Emre explained things in a way that was easy to follow and kept the whole group interested throughout the walk. I also appreciated the local tips he shared for food and places to explore afterward. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lyon — and if you can, try to join Emre’s tour!

Very enjoyable

Emre was great! He provided a very interesting and informative introduction to Lyon. Lyon is much more than gastronomy! We visited many sites and learnt much. There are many places that I'm sure I would not have been able to find on my own, especially the traboules which are well worth seeing.

Tour was an excellent introduction to the city. Bertrand spent just the right amount of time on each stop and had some great graphic illustrations to accompany his talk

We had a nice walking tour with Paul! Great guide, very interesting stories about the city and its famous inhabitants!

This free tour ran smoothly from start to finish. Although not French, Paul is very passionate about Lyon. He was engaging & had many interesting human stories to tell as well as factual information about each area. It was one of the better free tours we have been on over many years.

Great tour by Bertrand. We have visited the most important places of the old town, had good amount of information and all our questions responded in very nice atmosphere.

Absolutely brilliant! Would recommend 💯

Good tour, plenty to see in Lyon however a bit rushed in 2 hours

Excellent tour. Plenty of quirky facts.

Paul's tour was excellent. It was very entertaining and informative. I highly recommend him.

Paul you were amazing🤩

Jonathan gave us an excellent tour of Lyon with a good mix of pointing out interesting street art, history and architecture, would recommend it.

Charlotte gave us such a wonderful experience in Lyon. My client and I were the only two people on the tour, and instead of cancelling, she happily continued and gave us what felt like a private tour of the city. She was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many fascinating stories about Lyon’s history, culture, and hidden gems. Charlotte made the entire walk engaging, relaxed, and really enjoyable. You can truly feel how passionate she is about the city and about sharing it with visitors. If you’re visiting Lyon, I would absolutely recommend booking a tour with Charlotte. It’s a fantastic way to discover the city, and she makes the experience truly memorable.

I had very limited time to explore Lyon during a work trip, but John made sure I still experienced the very best of the city. His knowledge of Lyon’s history, culture, and hidden spots was incredible, and he shared everything in such an engaging and friendly way. I ended up being the only person on the tour, and instead of cancelling, John generously gave me a private tour. That alone says so much about his dedication and passion for what he does. It made the experience feel even more special and personal. If you’re visiting Lyon, I genuinely can’t recommend this tour enough. John is an amazing guide, and booking this tour is an absolute must if you want to truly discover the city.
