Description

Discover Lyon through its history, its narrow streets, and its best-kept secrets. On this sightseeing tour, we will visit the city's most emblematic places.
Hi, I'm Diego, a Mexican journalist who's passionate about history, culture, and travel. After living in Mexico City, I moved to Madrid. I lived there for three years. Now, I decided to come to Lyon to continue discovering Europe and share this incredible city with travelers from around the world.

Discover Lyon through its history, its narrow streets, and its best-kept secrets. On this free sightseeing tour, we'll visit the city's most iconic sites, from the heart of the Old Town to its hidden corners. We'll talk about the history of Lyon from its origins as a Roman city to its importance during the Renaissance and its role in present-day France.

During the tour, we'll explore places like Vieux Lyon, its famous traboules (secret passages), historic squares, and some of the most important spots in the town center. What's more, I'll share interesting facts, anecdotes, and recommendations so you can enjoy Lyon like a local.

My tours are dynamic, engaging, and designed for you to enjoy the city while learning about its history and culture.
