Fantastic food tour of Lyon
addisonh813, Jun 2026
We had Anna as our guide for our food tour of Lyon. She was friendly, personable, and explained everything in excellent detail. She was a pleasure to be on a tour with and would highly recommend her. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon exploring and eating our way through Lyon.

We had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She was funny and very knowledgeable. The places we visited were excellent and the staff at each location were ready to greet us and so friendly. The food was excellent, with large portions and wine! We had lots of time at each place and as we walked she pointed out great things for us to do during our visit and sent us links afterwards.
Great tour- very informative and fun!

Elizabetta was fantastic. It was a small group and she asked if we wanted more history or food and we all wanted a little history. She was a great tour guide and it was an informative and fun tour.
