Great food tour!

We had an amazing experience! Our tour guide Marie-Clara was fantastic. She had extensive knowledge of Lyon’s history and offered additional food and activity recommendations. The food was excellent, and each of the proprietors provided detailed explanations of the dishes we ate.
Food and History All In One

We really enjoyed our tour with Oscar. His English was perfect ( despite him saying it wasn't ). We learned a lot about the history of Lyon and its food. For lunch, please try the Quenelles. They were quite delicious. He explained the significance of the pink praline brioche and various candies. Overall, a lovely few hours. Make sure to come hungry!
