Do you want to experience Lyon like a local? If so, follow me! My name is Yamina a local guide in the beautiful city of Lyon. To tell you a little bit about myself. . . I grew up in a little town just outside Lyon. Since I needed to see if the grass was greener on the other side, I settle down in the UK for almost 10 years. There I studied History, Religions and Philosophy and developed a great interest for all the obscure cults of the time as well as pagan beliefs and symbolism. I really enjoy the legends and story telling behind it and their capacity to fascinate us. One a more down to earth note, I am the person you need if you enjoy your wine and food. Having worked in a number of roles within the hospitality industry and having lead several wine tours, I can smell a good product from afar! After a long time away from France, I have now come back in Lyon, living in the picturesque area of la Croix Rousse. My time away has made me appreciate even more the subtleties and richness of my own culture and I understand why it is so very much enjoyed by travelers. What I love the most in Lyon is that we are surrounded by some of the best products you can found in France and which you can directly get from the source on wonderful local markets. This rich soil has made as enabled us to enjoy the real taste of the good things in life. I also love the fact that Lyon is at the crossroad of France and Europe which you will perceived most notably in the architecture and the cuisine of the city. I invite you to join me on tour to discover the city I know and I love. I have designed three separte excursions, each place having contributed to Lyon history, architecture, cuisine and culture in general. If you have your own idea of what you would like to see, I'll be happy to customize a tour to fit your need. Contact me for further details. BA in History and Religion First aid certificate
