We had an excellent gastronomical tour experience with Mégane. She is a wonderful ambassador for her city. Before coming to Lyon I did not expect to learn so much about the personality of Lyon in addition to its history. And the food tastings were excellent, chocolate, ice-cream, wine and cheese, and a visit to a bouchons restaurant. It was a wonderful tour!

Fun Food Tour
Karen_L, August 2026
Great food tour. Our guide, Natalie was friendly and knowledgable. We began the tour with different cheeses which were described well and delicious. There was plenty of water and wine offered throughout. Comfortable seating at each stop. We ended the tour with ice cream and had to guess the flavors which was fun! We also got a great overview of the history and culture of the area.
