Hi, I'm Diego, a Mexican journalist passionate about history, culture, and travel. After living in Madrid and studying journalism, I decided to come to Lyon to continue exploring Europe and share this incredible city with travelers from all over the world. I love telling stories and showing not only the most important monuments but also the details and curiosities that make Lyon special. My tours are dynamic, engaging, and designed so you can enjoy the city while learning about its history and culture.
