5Delightful afternoon tour
We had a great time. Our guide Nicholas was very friendly, knowledgable and passionate. The tour was tailored to our food restrictions and remained flexible throughout. The food was amazing and we learned a lot about the city and architecture as well as the food. An afternoon well spent Thanks Nicholas and team
5Nates the guy for food tour
Nate our guide was great. His knowledge of food in Lyon was superb and Hada good sense of humour.
5A tour not to be missed!
We had an excellent gastronomical tour experience with Mégane. She is a wonderful ambassador for her city. Before coming to Lyon I did not expect to learn so much about the personality of Lyon in addition to its history. And the food tastings were excellent, chocolate, ice-cream, wine and cheese, and a visit to a bouchons restaurant. It was a wonderful tour!
5Fun Food Tour
Great food tour. Our guide, Natalie was friendly and knowledgable. We began the tour with different cheeses which were described well and delicious. There was plenty of water and wine offered throughout. Comfortable seating at each stop. We ended the tour with ice cream and had to guess the flavors which was fun! We also got a great overview of the history and culture of the area.
5Fun afternoon activity while visiting Lyon
The tour was a great combination of history, food, and fun. Nathalie is an excellent guide who not only made the tour a great experience but also gave me lots of excellent info about 'practical' Lyon. There were only 3 of us on the tour (myself and another couple) which allowed Nathalie to answer all our questions (about the tour or anything else in Lyon) as we went from place to place. It was definitely not a 'just read from the script' tour which I appreciated. I would highly recommend the tour and Nathalie as a guide. (Two informational notes: There is a longer food tour, this was the shorter one. Also, you get a discount on any of the food tours with the Lyon City Card)
5A Wonderful Food Tour!
What a wonderful tour! Our guide Nathalie was exceptional and so knowledgeable. We spent several hours learning about the history of Lyon and its culinary traditions. The food culture in Lyon is amazing, with so much seasonal produce and artisanal products. We tasted a wide selection of local food and wine including meats, cheeses and ice cream. Highly recommended!

About Lyon
Lyon, where the Rhône and Saône meet, is a Roman and Renaissance city of covered passageways, long called the capital of French cooking.
Lyon spreads across two rivers and two hills. On Fourvière hill, the white basilica looks down over the Roman theatres of Lugdunum, once the capital of Gaul, while the Renaissance old town below has narrow streets and covered passageways, the traboules, that silk workers used to carry cloth. The old town and the slopes of Croix-Rousse, the silk weavers' hill, are part of the UNESCO-listed historic site.
