Lyon Full Day Tour

PS : do not hesitate to send an email even if it shows I am not available ! Bonjour ! My name is Alex, I am a full-time licensed guide and also a teacher at Lyon University, where I give classes to future guides. I am responsible for 5 classes : adaptation to American visitors, adaptation to river cruise tourism, food tour experience, ethics and business creation, interactive and intertaining tours. Welcoming people in my 2, 000 year old city of Lyon is my second nature ! I am here to offer completely different tours because I really love my job, and that is what really makes the difference ! Sharing - Understanding - Open-mindedness - Knowledge - Warmth - Gay-Friendly and Yum-Yum are the keywords during my tours. I specialize in interactive tours and food tours : looking for details, meeting local people, making people understand things, taking time to know each other and go our own pace. And of course there is no tour with me without a tasting or a drink (I am the secret son of Julia Child and Paul Bocuse. . . ) I have a great sense of humour, but I am very strict in terms of QUALITY, I guarantee a 100% convivial and informative experience together ! Lyon is a very fascinating city where the variety of activities to do and sceneries to discover is very impressive : the city is considered as the French capital of gastronomy, but that is not the only reason why I got specialized in food tours and why I spend my days in the impressive indoor market Les Halles de Lyon-Paul Bocuse. I am a foodie and I deeply believe that food is a perfect introduction to another culture, a wonderful way to enjoy life, meet people, and face otherness. Lyon also used to be the main centre of the silk production in Europe during centuries : you can't imagine the treasures we still have in beautiful made-in-Lyon-velvet workshops, and the skills of passionate artisans we meet together during weaving demonstrations or demonstrations of handmade painting on silk. . . Top 4 by Alex : Food tour(s), Panoramic 4h tour, Silk Tour, and of course Vieux-Lyon 2h tour (you will see, I have keys and codes that will lead you to places where nobody else go !) See you very soooooon, et vive la France !
