“One of the best tours in my life”

I had the greatest time today! Even though I’ve been living in Lyon for 4 years but Quentin with his friendliness and wittiness reintroduced Lyon to me with a new pov and many new information about its history. It was like a Lyonnais friend was walking me through the city telling me about its history (not in a boring way at all) Overall highly recommended, good vibes and when i revisit Lyon in the future i’ll make all my friends experience this fun tour :)

Im glad I did this on my first day in Lyon. I’ve learned so much about the history of the place. Quentin is such an entertaining and knowledgeable guide and even helped with suggestions about discovering Lyon and how to get around the city and even gave us maps of traboules and some cool places to discover. Merci, Quentin! ☺️

“Quentin le taquin”

Nous avons eu une merveilleuse visite de Lyon avec Quentin le taquin. Il connaît parfaitement la ville, les grandes rues comme les traboules les plus secrètes. Il parle fort et clair, très facile à suivre. Le contenu est pertinent, juste assez de détails. Il vient d’une famille noble, parlez-lui de son grand-père et de sa généreuse donation à l’hôpital Hôtel-Dieu!!! Excellent!

“Excelente Tour super recomendable”

Quentin que fue nuestro guía muy agradable y conoce súper bien todos los temas que nos explicaba. A pesar de que el grupo era muy numeroso todo, se escuchaba y se entendía muy bien. Yo recomendaría que se estuvieran audífonos para que el guía no se esfuerce tanto en que se escuche su voz y todos puedan escuchar con más claridad.
