Guidekin's take

A walk up the slopes of the Croix-Rousse told through the women of Lyon, from the silk workers' uprisings to Resistance fighters of the Second World War, with an independent guide and a group capped at ten.

The subject matter is heavy in places, so it is recommended for ages fourteen and up. 5 from 43 reviews at €25 per person.

In our comparison: #5 of 10 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
