"A great culinary and historical tour of Lyon. Our guide was k legible of the architecture and how the food came to be. Loved it all."
"We loved our tour with Nathalie. She was knowledgeable, funny, and had a great relationship with all the shop owners/workers. Every stop had some delicious unique food and drinks for us to sample that were traditional and there were other non food stops along the way to learn the history of Lyon, this was a highlight of the trip for me."
"Great tour. Amelie was a wonderful guide and she seemed to want us all to enjoy the experience. A bit different than other food & walking tours where there are more historical sites BUT the food choices were good and restaurant/shop owners were delightful. Lots of emphasis on the pralines for which Lyon is famous and they were delicious. Not to mention, what food tour in France would be complete without a visit to a fromage? The one they chose for this tour was exceptional. At the sirop shop we were treated to a lovely tasting in his cellar and he seemed to genuinely want our experience to be good. Go, do it, enjoy... it's worth every penny, every minute."
"Nathalia was amazing! We had a great time with the group. Lovely food and wine. Great experience."
