Experience Lyon beyond the guidebook on this fully personalized private walking tour. After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire so we can match you with a knowledgeable local host who reflects your interests, curiosity, and pace. Your itinerary will unfold in real time, shaped by your energy and the city’s rhythm.

Begin at Place Bellecour, one of Europe’s largest open squares, framed by elegant 19th‑century buildings. From there, step into Vieux Lyon’s Renaissance quarter to explore traboules—hidden passageways weaving between courtyards—while spotting details that reveal the city’s silk‑making heritage. Your host will share the stories behind these atmospheric lanes, making history feel alive.

Continue to the Croix‑Rousse District, once the center of Lyon’s silk‑weaving industry and now a hub for artists and vibrant murals. Wander through colorful streets, climb picturesque staircases, and pause in shaded squares where creativity and history intertwine. Follow the Saône Riverbank along a peaceful promenade where locals stroll, musicians perform, and pastel facades reflect on the water.

End your walk by crossing the Passerelle Saint‑Vincent, a charming footbridge offering one last, photo‑worthy view over the river toward the Old Town. Throughout the tour, your host will adapt the route to your preferences—whether you wish to linger in a square, skip a stop, or follow a spontaneous detour—making your experience as layered and personal as Lyon itself.
