The tours organized by Cybèle and her “agents” are incredible! I've done 4 of them and I never get tired of them! What talent on the part of the entire team, what pleasure to walk around Lyon suspended on the lips of the storyteller, what delight to note the historical accuracy of the framework of the narration! In short, I recommend again and again to everyone to visit Lyon in this way: what a joy!

Excellent time, very friendly. We really get into the game, we change eras and we discover a little-known part of the history of Lyon. Suitable for both natives and curious tourists. Well done and thank you to the whole team.

The story is fascinating. The amazing storyteller/actress in her role. We really got into the game. We have lived in Lyon for 35 years and despite everything, she took us to streets that we did not know. We will do it again. Very packed

Conduits par l'agent C au travers des traboules de la Croix-Rousse, nous avons vibré à l'écoute de la vie de Jirôme, de sa famille et de son apprenti Tony, notamment lors du 21 novembre 1831, journée de révolte des Canuts. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la gestuelle et les compétences oratoires de l'agent C qui a terminé sa prestation en chantant magnifiquement le chant des Canuts. Félicitations à l'agent C, félicitations à Cybèle!!! Nous reviendrons pour d'autres aventures et pour faire partager à amis et famille l'histoire et la beauté de notre ville.

Excellente visite qui vous tient en haleine jusqu'au bout. Cette deuxième expérience a confirmé ma première impression favorable avec la visite coquine... C'est toujours très bien, très vivant, les ados ont adoré aussi. Merci Cybèle !

Malgré e froid et la pluie l'agent C nous a ravis par ses contes. quel régal de l'écouter et de voir autrement les pentes de la croix rousse. N'hésitez pas à faire cette visite. Vous serez enchantés !

Nous avons suivi en famille la visite contée de la Croix Rousse et tous les âges (10, 18 et 19 et les parents) ont adoré ! Découverte du quartier et de l'histoire en plongeant dans un autre univers. N'hésitez pas !
