Tour Variants

Upon reservation, you have the option to select from two private Lyon tours. Each tour spans two hours and can be customised, enabling you to focus on the sites that captivate your interest the most. The specific details of both options are outlined below.

Private Walking Tour of the Old Town

At your chosen time, we will convene at 4 Av. du Doyenné in Lyon. Together with our guide, we will discover the highlights of Vieux Lyon, the city’s enchanting historical quarter.

During the excursion, you'll likely want to reveal the secret "traboules," hidden pathways that are woven into the fabric of the area’s past. We will also have the opportunity to explore one of the remarkable spiral staircases found within these passageways.

A highlight of the Old Town is the captivating astronomical clock at Lyon Cathedral—the stained-glass artistry is truly breathtaking!

Private Walking Tour of Architecture

At your selected time, we will meet at the Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière in Lyon to gaze upon the city’s architectural wonders.

As we wander through the area, we’ll encounter a striking combination of old and contemporary architecture, where each structure reveals its unique narrative. Another architectural marvel included in our itinerary is the magnificent Gothic-style Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral.

Throughout this journey, we will explore how Lyon’s architectural landscape has been influenced by notable figures like Tony Garnier and the Lumière brothers, as well as how the city's rich cultural heritage was shaped during both the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution.

Benefits of Opting for a Private Tour

Choosing a private tour guarantees that you will have a dedicated guide by your side, affording you the flexibility to tailor your itinerary, experience the city at your own rhythm, and potentially reduce costs if you're travelling with a larger party!
