Eillin was incredible! We got a chance to go on a tour with her in November of 2023 and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Eillin was kind, knowledgable, and great to spend part of our day with. We left the tour with a much better understanding of the history of Lyon and having tasted some of the most delicious and interesting foods and wines! She also answered all of our questions with great stories to help us understand the culture of Lyon even more. We would absolutely recommend Eillin, she was fabulous.

Eillin was fantastic. We got great history, secret passages, Michelin star chef sightings, great food and wine stops. We highly recommend this walking tour. You get so much more out of a small group tour. We loved it.

This tour was exactly what my husband and I wanted: history, sites, and food! We enjoyed every second of our time with Eillin and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lyon.

Eileen was a wonderful guide for this informative morning and lunch. She shared the history of Lyon from Roman times forward to today and showed us how to see the city in layers of architectural development. Nicely paced walk through the Old Town, including some traboules, fascinating! Then on to a fun lunch at a traditional bouchon restaurant, where Eileen kindly helped me to choose the dishes that I would enjoy the most. Very engaging guide. Highly recommend!

Eillin’s Food Tour is certainly one that you won’t want to miss while visiting Lyon. I’ve been following her for the past 20 years, since she first started running her business in Paris. Along with the wonderful food and wine, she also shares wonderful tidbits of fascinating history of the region. You will not be disappointed.

This was fantastic. A history lesson on Lyon mixed with beautiful food and wine. Eillin was excellent and a great storyteller. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Eileen was a fantastic tour guide. She lives in the area, and is very knowledgeable. My family and I took a tour in the morning. We were greeted with a croissant, from the number 1 croissant Bakery in the area. We then took some tours of beautiful traboules. We were then given samples of fresh and warm brioche Aux praline bread. Delicious. We also went to a destination where we got cheeses and lots of wines. Eventually making our way to lunch, where we got a lot of wine and local food. Overall, the food, wine, history and tour guide was fantastic. Made me want to stay in the city a few more days.

RadNick

A wonderful introduction to Lyon and its food. Our guide Eillin was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had a very good appreciation of the history of Lyon and tried some interesting food. Definitely recommend.

TruBlue97

Eillin is very enthusiastic and very informative about Lyon. Having been on earlier food tours in Italy, we thought there was less emphasis on food and more on history on this tour. I did try the various foods served at lunch before knowing what they were, and didn't like them before I found out. Afterwards, I now know that offal is not my thing!
