Nicolas is very knowledgeable and great company! We did two tours, Old Lyon and Lyon the Rebel and both were super! Highly recommend!

We just can underline the previous comments. Nicolas was our lucky hit.
With his profound knowledge of the history of Lyon and France Nicolas guided us through Old Lyon and made us aware of many details we wouldn't have seen just walking around on our own. Plus - he's a very nice and friendly guy, ready to answer all your questions. We highly recommend to book a tour with him.

Nicholas is a very knowledgeable and engaging guide. Even though he had a damaged arm he mamaged to show us pictures from his folder; what a trooper!

The two of us had a remarkable and very informative tour with Nicholas. The guy has an incredible data base of facts in his head and knows his subject extremely well. His presentation is also well done and entertaining. Absolutely recommend that you hook up with Nick if you can for this tour.

Une superbe journée avec Nicolas qui nous a fait découvrir le Vieux Lyon avec son histoire et toutes ses anecdotes . Notre petit groupe a beaucoup apprécié d'autant que la visite s'est passée en anglais et que les explications de Nicolas ont été claires et vraiment à notre portée. Thank you so much Nicolas !

Lo consiglio senza dubbio! Nicolas è una guida eccezionale. Non solo parla fluentemente più lingue, ma è in grado di farti conoscere la città, la sua storia e le curiosità in un modo davvero coinvolgente.
Dopo una visita guidata con Nicolas, puoi davvero iniziare a vivere il soggiorno a "La Lyonnaise" !
