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. ## Overview Skip the standard sightseeing tour and discover Lyon through the eyes of a local. With Lokafy, every tour is private, unscripted, and personalized to you. Your Lokafyer is a passionate local who shares stories, hidden gems, and authentic tips you won’t find in a guidebook. They aren’t professional guides with memorized scripts, they're locals who love their city and want you to experience it like a friend would. Whether you’re interested in food, art, history, or simply exploring the neighborhoods beyond the tourist spots, your Lokafyer will adapt the walk to your interests. By the end, you’ll feel at home in the city, with insights to keep exploring on your own. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Travelers can request the tour to start… - Entry ticket not included: buy it separately - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 13 start times: between 08:00 and 20:00 - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Children from €24: ages 3 to 12 ## Key facts - Price: from €48 per person - Duration: 2h–6h - Rating: 4.69/5 from 126 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Recommended by 91% of travellers (share of four- and five-star reviews) - Operator: Lokafy Inc. - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 2-Hour Tour | €48 / person (for 2+ people) | French, Spanish, German, English | Duration: 2 hours | | 3-Hour Tour | €72 / person (for 2+ people) | French, Spanish, German, English | Duration: 3 hours | | 4-Hour Tour | €96 / person (for 2+ people) | French, Spanish, German, English | Duration: 4 hours | | 5-Hour Tour | €120 / person (for 2+ people) | French, Spanish, German, English | Duration: 5 hours | | 6-Hour Tour | €144 / person (for 2+ people) | French, Spanish, German, English | Duration: 6 hours | ## What's included - Customized private walking tour - Private walking tour with a Lokafyer (local host) - Personalized itinerary tailored to your interests ## Not included - Personal expenses - Tips and gratuities (optional) - Entrance fees (if you choose to visit paid attractions) - Food and drinks - Local transportation (this is a walking tour, no transport provided) ## Itinerary 1. **Lyon** (pass by, no stop) - This is a customized walking tour.
