I had an absolutely wonderful time with Nico on this tour. He is incredibly knowledgable and personable, and the tour itself is very well constructed, carving through the hilly medieval streets of Lyon with supernatural tales, architectural history, and the occasional gruesome murder. We saw some less crowded corners of the old city as well as some more typical sites, stopping along the way to admire, for example, small stonemasonry details on the Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, or the illuminated view of Fourvière from a bridge, the square by Théâtre Célestins, etc. Nico himself is super duper kind. I lucked out in that the tour ended up just being me; since I am learning French, Nico conducted the tour in French, and since he's a professor of languages, he also helped me with my own language as I responded, even giving me some practical tips for moving forward in my own time. Really just a purely positive experience. By the end I felt like I hadn't paid enough for what I received. Thank you, Nico!

I took this tour in English and it was excellent! It definitely showed a new side of the beautiful city of Lyon, and it was lovely (and hair-raising!) to experience the beautiful old town at night and hear the thrilling stories of the past. Excellent guide, can highly recommend!

This was definitely a highlight of my trip to France! Nicholas gave an awesome tour on a cold and foggy night. He was extremely knowledgeable about Lyon and was very friendly. He also gave an awesome recommendation for late night tandoori! I would highly recommend this tour when visiting Lyon.

On a dark and very rainy September evening, Nicholas narrated about the dark unseen Lyon...mesmerising, thought provoking and chilling. I, my sister and daughter loved this tour and can't wait to join the charismatic Nicholas on the mystical Lyon tour in the future. Highly recommended, thank you!

Perfect tour with a lot of interesting stories about the city. Guide Nicolas showed us the main attractions of the city, decorated the tour with mysterieous legends and storries. It was pleasure listening to Nicolas with his perfect English.
