Summary:
Loved the whole experience. DIDAC was brilliant. He knew the history and we saw so much that we wouldn't have if we tried to do it on our own.

Summary:
Our tour of Vieux Lyon was more than we expected. Our guide, Dideck, was knowledgeable and very connected to the area. We explored secret passageways (traboules) that we would never have found on our own, as well as histories of the silk industry and the various Squares we walked through. We highly recommend.

Summary:
This was an amazing tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and was able to very effectively cover the full history of Lyon in 2.5 hours. Included the well known sites including taking us up the funicular and through the puppet museum (after giving us the history of the importance). But it also included parts of the city we could never have found on our own such as hidden passages and a silk shop that showed the process for making silk (including live silk worms!) Highly recommend!
