We had a wonderful 2-hour walking tour of Lyon with Natalie. She was very informative, friendly, and accommodating. She shared so much interesting history and information about the city, and we really enjoyed exploring Lyon with her. We even made an unexpected stop at a local silk shop, which was such a fun addition to the tour. Natalie made the experience personal and enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend her!
