## Why each made the list

- **Lyon Old Town Private Food Tour with 5 French Delicacies & Wines** — The private edition of the old town food tour: a Canut breakfast sampling, fresh pastries, French cheeses, a secret dish and a Lyonnais sweet, with white and red wine, for your party only. Expect a fair amount of walking; the menu follows the season and dietary needs should be flagged before booking. 4.99 from 98 reviews at €219 per person.
- **Pastries & Stories of Lyon with a Local Guide** — A two hour pastry walk through the city's sweet traditions, from buttery classics to the praline brioche, at artisan shops chosen for their local following, with the story behind each dessert. All tastings are included; it does not suit vegan, lactose free or gluten free diets. 5 from 37 reviews at €69 per person.
- **Lyon: Private dining experience through 3 restaurants** — A private progressive meal across three bistronomic restaurants chosen for their local regulars: starter, main and dessert each in a different place, each with a matched glass of wine, as lunch or a travelling dinner. A private host leads the way and the venues are marked wheelchair accessible. 5 from 30 reviews at €195 per person.
- **Gourmet tour of Presqu’île & Vieux Lyon 4 hours - meal included** — Four hours from the Presqu'île to Vieux Lyon with a family run outfit, five tasting stops that add up to a lunch sized meal and a guide who mixes the landmark squares with quieter corners. It stays a small group; only tips are extra, and it is not recommended in pregnancy. 4.98 from 41 reviews at €89 per person.
- **Lyon Old Town Food Tour with Local Specialties Tasting & Lunch** — Four hours in the old town capped at twelve travellers, with six tasting breaks that add up to lunch, meetings with the artisans behind the products and coffee or tea to finish. The route covers about two kilometres on foot; teenagers must come with an adult and hotel pickup is not included. 4.94 from 438 reviews at €89 per person.
- **Embark on an aperitif journey through the old town** — An aperitif walk through Vieux Lyon with three stops for charcuterie and cheese platters or Lyonnais dishes in a bouchon, each paired with a glass of wine, in a Renaissance district listed by UNESCO. Only tips are extra; it is not suited to vegans. 4.97 from 35 reviews at €64 per person.
- **Discover Lyon's Food and History with a Local Guide!** — A small, personal walk through the Old Town that splits its time evenly between eating and history, starting with charcuterie and cheese and moving through the traboules with the story behind each dish. Tastings add up to a meal and are all included. 4.9 from 42 reviews at €89 per person.
- **Lyon Sunset Food Tour – A Full Taste of France by Do Eat Better** — The evening version of the old town eating walk: a full meal over at least four stops, water and one alcoholic drink included, with non alcoholic options for those who skip wine. The guide may speak both English and French; guests with severe allergies cannot join. 4.92 from 459 reviews for 3h 30m.
- **Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine** — A stroll and sit down food tour of the old town built on the Mères Lyonnaises tradition: a Canut breakfast tasting, fresh pastries, a seasonal hot dish, a cheese selection and a sweet finish, with white and red wine poured along the way. Tell them about dietary needs in advance; the menu shifts with the season. 4.89 from 761 reviews at €108 per person.
- **Lyon Small-Group Full Meal Food Tour by Do Eat Better** — A walking meal through the old town served in at least four stops: quenelle, Lyonnais charcuterie, a Côtes du Rhône pour and praluline for dessert, with water and one alcoholic drink included.

- **4h Complete Lyon Experience: E-Bike, Food Tasting & Old Town Walk** — Three formats in one half day: a two hour electric bike loop through the city, a food tasting with a glass of wine or another drink, then a guided walk through Vieux Lyon. Bike and helmet are included, riders need bike skills and a minimum age of twelve, and hotel pickup is not part of it. 4.85 from 249 reviews at €80 per person.
- **Afternoon Old Town Food tour** — An afternoon walk through the Vieux Lyon murals and traboules with four tasting breaks, from regional cold cuts with a glass of red to the sweet finish, timed to lead into your evening.
