I reccomend this visit with Paul because offer a very large view of the city and is an opportunity to know some interesting details about Lyon. Paul is very qualified and available to answer all of your questions or offer advice.

I value my time. I am taking free tours, not because they are cheaper, but because they are generally better, This tour is no exception at all. The tour is well structured, with some practical information summarized at the end, so will not forget where to get lunch, buy something, etc. Paul speaks fast, but very clear. Reasonable amount of interaction makes this tour lively. The factual information Paul presents is detailed and deep. Very, very good tour.

Fun, interesting and informative. I especially liked the history of the silk workers, but tips on where to have lunch were also useful.

A flying visit to Lyon was made perfect by the walking tour with Paul. He was knowledgeable, interesting and fun to listen to. We would not have seen the places we did without him. The guide books are great, but lack the fun and quirky facts that Paul spoke about. I wish we had had the time to go with him on his other tour. Definitely recommend seeing Lyon with Paul.
