Essential Free Walking Tour - LyonExplorer

Duration: 2h and 30min
Languages: English, Spanish, French
Quality Verified Registered on March 08, 2018

Hi there, we are the LyonExplorer team! A group of 4 guides living in Lyon who can’t wait to show you our beautiful city. Some of us are pure Lyonnais products who’ve been living here for more than 30 years, others fell in love with the capital of Gaules (as you hopefully will) and moved here. We have been feeding ourselves with local specialties such as rosettes, Lyonnais cushions, quenelles, and other pink pralines in our magnificent city for years. Having always been passionate about Lyon and its wonderful History, the idea of introducing Lyon to tourists and locals came to us naturally. Now we are all Happy Gone (people from Lyon)! Come and hang out by our side and walk our streets talking about history, street art, and food, after all, we are the culinary capital of the world! So, no doubt you’ll fall in love with this city and, bonus, you’ll learn a few expressions of our Lyonnais language!

It was an amazing experience! One of the best free walking tours we’ve ever had. Bertrand was very friendly, funny and super knowledgeable. We learned so much about the city in 2,5 hours. Things we’d never have discovered by reading about it ourselves Highly recommended!

Nous avons passé un super moment avec Bertrand ! Prompt à répondre à toutes les questions, c'est un guide passionnant et cultivé qui nous a fait découvrir Lyon sans que nous voyions le temps passer. Merci!

Bertrand was full of knowledge and conducted the walking tour at a good pace, allowing enough time for us to take in what we saw and take pictures. The tour is a great way to see Lyon.
