Megan was an amazing guide. She was a fountain of knowledge about Lyon, past and present. She was clearly prepared with lots of photos and historical photos to whip out as she presented. The shops we visited were top-notch and the tastings were plentiful. You don't need lunch after the tour. In fact, we skipped dinner.

Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot about Lyon, in an interesting and entertaining way. The food tastings were excellent, we especially liked the visit to the cheese shop. I highly recommend the tour!
