    I had no idea what it was but I was really won over. Guide F was really fascinating. We were supposed to be 4 people unfortunately the other people (1 family) got wet by day. As I was passing through, Guide F favoured a private tour. What a delight! Guide F is very good at storytelling. I've learned a lot. I really enjoyed it. F you are excellent. Good continuation in your future projects. Cecilia.

    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!
