Paul's tour of Lyon was amazing. We learned a ton about Lyon's history and explored several interesting places. He even gave us some restaurant recommendations. I would highly recommend booking Paul's Free Walking Tour!

Paul gave us a great tour, reserve your spot, you will love it! Paul was humorous and informative. He kept the tour moving well, gave us tips on restaurants, things to see that weren't on the tour, and great suggestions for photo spots. You can tell that Paul loves Lyon and he will make it come alive for you. Thanks for a great tour Paul!

Paul’s tour of Lyon old town took us through Croux Rousse, St.Paul and ended at Viewx Lyon. The walk was fun, full of trivia and made history interesting and memorable. The silk industry’s impact on modern computing, union movement, building restoration and the enhlish language made for very interesting learning. It’s a must do for people who love history and would like to explore Lyon old town.

Jam packed with information, insights and curiosities, yet still time for photos and views, Paul’s tour is outstanding and so is he. Definitely the best city tour we’ve ever done, shaped by Paul’s love and passion for his adopted home. He encouraged questions, and gave ‘insider’ tips and recommendations to make the most of our short stay in this beautiful city. Between this and the follow-up tour of Old Lyon, we left with much greater understanding of the culture and history of this ancient city. Thanks Paul!
