Lyon in Contrast: History and Peculiarities Explained Dynamically.

Welcome to Lyon! A fascinating city with a great historical and cultural heritage. On this tour, you will discover many peculiarities that will surprise you.

Our meeting point will be Place Bellecour, next to the statue of Louis XIV. After a brief introduction to the city, we will begin our tour in the center of the presqu'île; the imposing Célestins theater and its peculiar parking, the Jacobins square with its unique architecture and luxury shops. We will cross the l'Argue footbridge to reach the famous Mercière street, known for its wide gastronomic offer and bars. We will continue towards the old town of Lyon, a medieval and Renaissance neighborhood that preserves countless peculiarities and notable monuments among its streets, such as the Palace of Justice, the Roman archaeological garden, the church of Saint John the Baptist, the museums, and of course, the famous traboules, which will transport us to past times. Afterwards, we will return to the presqu'île to visit Place des Terreaux and its iconic fountain, followed by the town hall and the famous Lyon Opera. 

During the tour, I will provide you with information about restaurants, bars, cafes, and many other places of interest that this vibrant city offers its visitors. Come and discover Lyon with me in the most fun and dynamic way possible!

I'm Fernando, passionate about culture and foreign languages. I arrived in France from Peru five years ago to pursue a master's degree in tourism business management to validate the skills I'd acquired over many years in the tourism sector. Since then, I've focused on creating experiences for travelers from this country to South America and vice versa. I also have extensive experience as a guide and thoroughly enjoy showing off the region's highlights in the most dynamic and fun way.
