We really enjoyed our tour with Konstantin. He was friendly, engaging and full of interesting and unusual stories about Lyon. Our favorite part of the tour was the visit to the silk atelier. I also give him high marks for flexibility as we had to adapt our plans several times and he was very easygoing and happy to make changes on the fly. 10/10!

Our group of four spent the morning with Konstantin. He was on time, and he asked us what our interests were and if we had already seen parts of Lyon since he didn't want to duplicate places we had already been. He was flexible and made adjustments based on our desires. Konstantin speaks perfect English and he has a great sense of humor. He was extremely knowledgeable about French history and the history of Lyon. He shared many stories, which were entertaining and interesting. All four of us felt that the time spent with Konstantin was well worth it and extremely enjoyable. We all would highly recommend him as a private tour guide.

Konstantin gave an amazing tour and was very knowledgeable! We had such a good time. Highly recommended if you're visiting Lyon.

Charlie_F

Highly recommend. Konstantin taught us everything we could possibly want to know about Lyon in a fun and interesting fashion. He was able to answer all of my friends' dumb questions such as the specifics of trash service in the traboules and if the Radisson building is all hotel rooms. And he was able to answer all of my smart questions about history and culture. Amazing value.

Konstantin is an excellent tour guide. We loved learning about the history of Lyon, wandering through intriguing traboules in Old Lyon, and visiting the Basilica of Notre Dame of Fourvière. Along the route we were also given advice on museums and restaurants to visit during our stay. Highly recommended.

Konstantin Masajo was the best possible guide for 4 Americans who wanted to focus on the Traboules and the silk trade history of Lyon. Because he has relationships with some of the oldest silk craftman families, we were able to spend some time with these wonderful people to experience their passion for this important part of Lyon's past and present.His depth of knowledge of the history of the city and its place in France and Europe's rich past really increased our appreciation of this vibrant city. He also showed us the most artistic parking garage (Place Celestin) told some of the WWII back stories.
