Discover Lyon like a local on a 2-hour guided walking tour between the iconic neighborhoods of Vieux-Lyon and the Presqu'île. This urban walk will take you back in time through the history, architecture, and art of living in Lyon, all while enjoying a friendly and effortless experience.

From our agency located in the Old City of Lyon – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – we'll walk along the banks of the Saône before crossing to the Presqu'île. On the way, let yourself be seduced by the elegant facades of the Place des Jacobins and the secrets of the Hôtel-Dieu, a beautifully restored former hospital. We'll end this part of the tour at the famous Place Bellecour, one of the largest in Europe.

Then, head back to the heart of Vieux-Lyon to immerse yourself in its cobbled streets, famous traboules (secret passages), and Renaissance buildings. Your guide will share local anecdotes, historical landmarks, and tips for exploring the city on your own after the tour.
