Guidekin's take

A two hour walk from Vieux Lyon to the Presqu'île through the city's grim legends: the spectres of Saint Georges, werewolf tales and the assassins of old Lyon, told by a guide on foot.

There is no bar or terrace stop, so eat before you come. 5 from 34 reviews at €38 per person.

In our comparison: #6 of 10 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
