Driven by the same passion for 20 years, I am waiting for you in Lyon to help you discover the entire city, listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. We will use the funicular to travel between Fourvière hill and Old Lyon. If you wish, we can also discover the Presqu'île district and the Croix Rousse district together. As an official guide, I will of course adapt to all your desires and will not fail to show you the gastronomic specialties of Lyon, as well as recommend its best restaurants. Also, there will be no waiting time to enter the monuments during the entire tour. We can meet wherever you want in Lyon.
