Lyon Private Tours

Lyon tours, Lyon private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
Lyon is France's second largest city, a bastion of sophistication and a treasure house of medieval and renaissance art and architecture. Built on the banks of the Rhône and Saône rivers, and climbing up the slope of the Fourvière hill, the city affords beautiful views. Take a private Lyon tour and explore its history and modern charms with a knowledgeable local guide.

The historic highlight of Lyon is its Old City, a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the winding streets of this medieval centre, you'll want to climb up hill to the beautiful Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvièr. The city is a rich repository of European culture, so be sure to step into one of its many fine museums, such as the incomparable Musée des Beaux-Arts. Lyon's dining scene is world-renowned and your guide will be sure to suggest a couple excellent spots to sample the local "gastronomie" widely acknowledged to be the best in France.

Your guide will ensure you enjoy your private Lyon tour!
