Tour description

Welcome to the Lugdunum of the past, let's travel through its history to today's Lyon.

Once everyone is gathered:

1. We begin at the Place de la Comédie where we will discover its cultural importance. Then we will head towards the Place du Terrain.

2. We will visit the most important and representative areas of the Presqu'île of Lyon, such as monuments and buildings, enjoying their architecture, history, and colorful elements that characterize them.

3. We will see the economic and social development that this city has acquired in different periods of history, especially marked in two squares of the city.

4. We will delve into the popular and traditional old town, Vieux Lyon, where its mysteries (traboules), gastronomy, stories of resistance, and more than 4 museums will offer us an enriching experience.

5. Finally, we will end at the foot of the basilica most beloved by the Lyonnais.

Discovering Lyon with me is much more than a tour: it's experiencing the city through stories, anecdotes, and details that only a local and passionate guide can offer. I like to make each explanation a close and entertaining experience. With several years of experience here, I will help you enjoy the best recommendations while you are in Lyon and its surroundings. You will get to know from its Roman past to its vibrant present. You will notice a different tour because I not only convey information but transform and adapt each visit into a journey full of emotion, culture, and shared memory. Let's go!
