Absolutely outstanding. Amazing array of foods up taste. Great characters and our guide was so generous in sharing his vast knowledge of regional history. Would highly recommend

The activity was excellent. I was able to know the most visited tourist places in Lyon. In addition, the audio and explanations during the tour are objective and didactic.

Nice experience with friendly driver, need to increase the frequency of buses to visit as much as possible hotspots locations as currently only 3 rounds available per day
