Passionate about travel and history… After five years living in Lyon, our passion for travel and history has evolved beyond a simple intellectual interest. It is a dedication that motivates us to share our knowledge and to awaken in others the same fascination, through enriching tours and talks. Our mission is to convey that history is much more than a collection of dates and events; it is a window to the past, a journey that immerses us in diverse eras and cultures, exploring their triumphs and challenges, achievements and failures. In each experience we offer, we seek to make each place visited transport you back in time. With each step, we invite you to immerse yourself in the ancient civilizations that once flourished in these lands, admiring their imposing architecture and unraveling the mysteries surrounding their creation. We have had the privilege of conducting tours in diverse and fascinating destinations in France, Mexico and the Caribbean. From medieval cities like Pérouges and Avignon, with their historic architecture and famous walls, to the majestic pyramids of Teotihuacán or the archaeological sites of Mexico City. In addition, we explore the impressive Mayan pyramids of Chichén Itzá, Tulum and the wonders of Mitla and Monte Albán in Oaxaca. In addition, we have sailed through the paradisiacal Caribbean destinations of Curaçao, Aruba and St. Maarten, reliving the era of famous pirates. Our goal is for you to enjoy your trip to the fullest, immersing yourself in each destination with a deep and enriching look.

Tour description

Unlike cities like Paris, Rome, or Venice—where grand monuments, wide boulevards, and large crowds steal the spotlight—the Old Town of Lyon offers a more authentic, peaceful, and deeply cultural experience.

Once the capital of Roman Gaul and an economic hub for centuries, Lyon was the most influential city in Europe during its time, thanks to its commercial power, ecclesiastical importance, and strategic location. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, preserving its historical essence and a charm that makes it truly unique.

On our tour of Vieux Lyon, the Renaissance heart of the city, we’ll explore its cobbled streets, cross the traboules—secret passageways connecting courtyards and alleyways—and admire the majestic Saint-Jean Cathedral


Along the way, you’ll relive Lyon’s history from the Roman era through the Middle Ages and beyond. You’ll hear captivating legends, meet historical figures who shaped the city, and uncover how Lyon’s rich culture and traditions evolved over time.


Join us as we guide you through the hidden corners of Lyon, offering a truly local perspective.

🎟️ Book your tour today and get ready for an unforgettable experience!
