Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (Small Group) Including Funicular

Enjoyed the history and sights of medieval and Roman Lyon. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Toni. He was very knowledgeable about Lyon and took us to places that we might not have found on our own. I was a little nervous about the tour since it didn't give much information beforehand, but it turned out to be a great tour. He was very personable and accommodating. People were headed in different directions after the tour so he modified the plan a little to make sure that it worked well for everybody. He sent us a text with places to eat and other things to do in Lyon. We tried one of the bouchons that he recommended and had a great experience. I would definitely recommend the tour and Toni.

Toni was very knowledgeable and entertaining for our 3+ hour tour. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history of Lyon.

This was a great and informative tour. Our guide, Tony was so informative and even went the extra mile by having a list of the bouchons sent to us that he and his wife recommended .We enjoyed it thoroughly this informative tour of Vieux Lyon.

Excellent, funny, interesting guide who knew the city well. He told the history and some culture in a great way.

Toni is a fantastic tour guide. The tour was very good and we learned a lot about the history and habits of the city. I would recommend this tour to anyone. There were about 10 of us and Toni made sure that everyone got to ask questions and talk with him between stops.

This was such a fun walking tour. Toni made sure to get to know everyone in the group and was very engaging. The history was interesting and the views were incredible. Really great way to spend the day! I also really appreciated the communication and recommendations that were provided afterwards. I traveled solo and was made to feel apart of the group right away! Make this your first stop so you know all of the best places to go throughout your stay.

Toni is an historian with lots of great stories to share. He is very animated, knowledgeable and super passionate about sharing the sights of Lyon. Highly recommend

Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable & friendly. We visited old town and stopped for a treat. The buildings so interesting.

Absolutely awesome. Toni the guide was super informative, friendly and entertaining. Provided great history of the area complimented with great anecdotes. Also had good recommendations for other attractions and restaurants not only for Lyon but for our next destination in France. One of the best local tours we have taken. Highly recommended!

I can’t recommend Toni highly enough! A fount of knowledge who really brought Lyon to life. The tour was fascinating as we discovered endless insights into the city and its people. For example, the old town, one of the biggest medieval neighbourhoods in Europe and now a UNESCO world heritage site, came within one hour of being blown up in the 1970’s to be replaced with concrete and skyscrapers. Great city, great tour, and great tour guide!

This tour was wonderful, Toni was so helpful and informative. The tour was well laid out, pointing out some must see's and giving lots of tips on how to get the best out of our trip to Lyon. Toni spent time talking with each tour goer and so so warm and friendly I would highly recommend this tour!!

Toni was a wonderful guide, and provided excellent recommendations not only for Lyon but also for other stops on our trip, particularly Barcelona. He was entertaining, knowledgeable, efficient, and very nice. We highly recommend this tour!

Here’s a warmer, more natural version: We had such a great time on this tour with Toni. The small group size was perfect and made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal. Toni shared so much about Lyon’s history and took us to places we definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. He was engaging, knowledgeable, and also gave us some excellent recommendations for places to check out during the rest of our stay. We walked away feeling like we really knew Lyon better. Such a fun and worthwhile way to spend a few hours in the city!

This walking tour of Vieux Lyon by M&T Lyon Tours with our amazing guide Toni was exceptional! Toni's knowledge and passion for Lyon was evident in the wonderful stories he shared with us about Vieux Lyon. We learned so much about Lyon's history and culture. And his partner Maud made sure everyone knew exactly where to meet. We walked from St Paul to St Jean, visited several "traboules" passageways, got to try the famous praluline brioche, and heard many interesting facts about Vieux Lyon's history. Then it was up the hill by funicular to Fourviere to see the Roman Amphitheater, beautiful views of Lyon from the viewpoints, and the stunning Basilica Notre Dame. Toni spent extra time with our group because everyone was so interested in learning more! We really appreciate all the great recommendations they sent us after the tour ... impressive follow-up! We have taken many walking tours throughout Europe over the past 15 years, and this was one of the best. We 100% recommend this tour if you want to appreciate what makes Lyon so special. Merci Toni and Maud!

Great update on history Super coverage of streets, buildings and some of the most outstanding sites in France. Advice that made the remaining time in Lyon fantastic.

This tour was the best we’ve been on anywhere. Toni was fun to be with and felt like a friend from the beginning. He took time to listen to everyone in the group. Being a small group meant he was able to interact with everyone. The itinerary covered more than I expected. We also got a tailored follow up message from Maud, which was highly appreciated. Best ever!

Toni was fantastic. His knowledge of Lyon is excellent. He made sure to give everyone lots of information about their specific interests about Lyon ( resistance in WWII, food, wine,etc). You can tell he loves his job and his enthusiasm and personal touches elevated this tour. He even provided a list of recommendations to anyone that was interested via email or what’s app afterwards. Do yourself a favor and go with Toni. You won’t regret it.
