Old Lyon and the Traboules Half Day Tour with Lunch

Embark on a half-day tour of Lyon’s best sites with a local guide to see local gems such as Old Lyon, where you can navigate your way through the cobblestone roads. Old Lyon has UNESCO status and lots of bars where locals hang out, along with plenty of shops and art galleries. As you wander the neighbourhood, you’ll get to see Lyon’s famous and one-of-a-kind Traboules: passageways that were used by both city-dwellers over 1,500 years ago and the French Resistance during World War II plus many in between. They are difficult to navigate alone, but our guides know the way. Then finish your day by taking in some greenery and some of the best views of the city on Fourvière Hill, the grounds of the spectacular Fourvière Basilica and the idyllic Rosary Garden. This experience also includes lunch in a bouchon, a cosy Lyon-style restaurant serving Lyon’s specialties. 

Inclusions

• Half-day guided tour with an English speaking guide
