50 tours in Lyon, from €5 to €490 per person, average rating 4.9 based on 9712 reviews.
Every one of the 50 Lyon tours here was picked by hand: we read every listing and kept only those rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €5 per person for a walk of the old town to €490 per vehicle for a full day in wine country with a private driver. Tours in Lyon split into two halves. Inside the city it is walks through Vieux Lyon and its traboules, eating your way through the bouchons, e-bike and Segway rides along the rivers, and tastings with a sommelier. The rest leave for the day to the vineyards of Beaujolais and the Northern Rhône.
A quick way to choose: decide first between a day out and a guided tour of Lyon itself, because the day trips take the whole day, leave lunch out and start from a meeting point in the city rather than your hotel. On the walks and food tours the guide often switches between English and French, tips and extra drinks are paid on the spot, and private tours are listed per person with a minimum party.
