## 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.
- **Full Day Private Tour of Beaujolais by vintage Land Rover** — A full private day on the back roads of Beaujolais in a vintage Land Rover: private medieval castles, wineries across the crus, honey, cheese and truffle producers, with lunch in a restaurant or a picnic set up among the vines. Cold cuts and cheese come with the tastings; dietary needs need two days' notice. 4.99 from 89 reviews at €490 per person.
- **Lyon: Private Burgundy Half Day Wine Tour by Vintage Land Rover** — A private half day in a vintage Land Rover from Lyon into the Mâconnais, the white wine country on Burgundy's southern edge, calling on small producers the hosts have known for years. Local foods and cheeses come with the tastings, under eighteens get grape juice, and the vehicle is marked wheelchair accessible. 5 from 37 reviews at €230 per person.
- **Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour** — A private walk that follows Lyon's silk thread from the Roman era to the Renaissance, through the traboules and across both rivers, with a guide who explains why the passages were built and what happened inside them. Only the guide is included; food, drinks and any entries are your own. 4.94 from 160 reviews at €65 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.
- **Private guided tour of Lyon - 3 to 4 hours** — A private three to four hour walk with an official Lyon guide that takes the funicular between Fourvière hill and Old Lyon, with tickets included, and can extend to the Presqu'île and the Croix-Rousse on request. The route is marked wheelchair accessible, transport included. 4.87 from 30 reviews at €210 per person.
- **Rhône Valley Wine Tasting Private Day Tour from Lyon** — A private day in the northern Rhône for your party alone, priced for the vehicle rather than per seat, with visits to family run wineries on the steep Côte Rôtie and Condrieu slopes and a look at the cellars behind the Syrah and Viognier. Tastings and fuel are included; meals and tips are not. 4.87 from 45 reviews at €1000 per group/vehicle.
- **Lyon UNESCO: Private walking tour** — A private walk through the UNESCO listed districts that pairs the traboules and the silk merchants' passages with entry to the Guignol puppet theatre and museum, included in the price. There are no extra in destination costs to pay on the day. 4.86 from 65 reviews at €135 per person.
- **Lyon Private Walking Tour with a Local** — A private walk with a resident host rather than a licensed guide: unscripted, built around your interests and bookable from two to six hours. It gives a local's overview rather than dates and facts; any attraction you add means paying entry for yourself and the host. 4.69 from 126 reviews at €48 per person.
