Do you want to experience Lyon like a local? Then come explore it with me! I'm Yamina, a licensed local guide in the beautiful city of Lyon. I spent almost ten years in the UK, where I studied History, Religions, and Philosophy and developed a passion for fascinating legends, forgotten cults, pagan beliefs, and symbolism. I love storytelling and the way myths and hidden histories continue to spark our imagination today. On a more down-to-earth note, if you love great food and wine, you’re definitely in the right place. I’ve worked in several roles within the hospitality industry and have led multiple wine tours—so I know how to spot (and taste!) a quality product. Lyon is surrounded by some of the best food and wine France has to offer, and I especially love sharing local markets where you can meet producers and buy directly from the source. After many years abroad, I returned to Lyon and now live in the charming neighborhood of La Croix-Rousse. Seeing my city again through the eyes of travelers has made me appreciate even more the richness, subtleties, and warmth of Lyon’s culture—and I understand why visitors fall in love with it so easily. I’d be delighted to show you the Lyon I know and love. You can choose from one of my existing tours, or we can create a fully customized experience designed around your interests—history, hidden stories, food, wine, or all of the above! ✨ Licensed guide 🎓 BA in History & Religion 🩹 First Aid certified I look forward to welcoming you to Lyon!

    Yasmin was great! We had so much fun choosing our food. Cheeses, baguette, North African food, and pastries. We sat in a cafe ordered wine and had a lovely brunch. She shared with us the history of the silk trade. She is extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. Highly recommended! We booked both morning and afternoon tours with her.

    Our private tour through Tours by locals was excellent. Our tour guide, Yamina was great. She showed us the main sites, and we had a nice chat about Lyon over a glass of wine and charcuterie towards the end of the tour. We will definitely use Tours by locals on future vacations.
