Overview

Discover Lyon through its history, its narrow streets and its best kept secrets. On this free tour we will visit some of the most emblematic places of the city, from the heart of the old town to the hidden corners that many visitors overlook. We will talk about the history of Lyon from its origins as a Roman city to its importance during the Renaissance and its role in France today.

During the tour we will explore places such as Vieux Lyon, its famous traboules (secret passages), historic squares and some of the highlights of the city center. In addition, I will share curiosities, anecdotes and recommendations so you can enjoy Lyon like a local.
