Great Tour for our Family –
We had a wonderful tour of Vieux Lyon and Fourviere with Romain. He was a perfect guide for our small group of six people—friendly and knowledgeable about the local history, architecture, food, and restaurants.
Romain picked up our group at our Airbnb in Presqu’ile and we walked over to the Old City, exploring the fascinating architecture and traboules, took the funicular up to the basilica and Roman ruins, and then walked back down to the Old City.
Throughout the tour Romain was happy to answer all of our questions and take us to the places that we wished to go.
We had a great day with him as our guide.
Highly recommended.
