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!

There are no better way to explore the city than on a bike by the water; and that is exactly what we will be doing. From the very centre of Lyon to the Medieval part where you will get an Italian Renaissance impression, we will ride nicely along the Saône river, stop at the wonderful Parc de la Tête D'or for a breath of fresh air. As a city girl, the park is my favorite place to recharge within nature and you will definitely be impressed by the variety of trees, flowers and animals. Leaving the park, we will make a visit to the famous indoor market Paul Bocuse to taste the very best of local cheeses, charcuterie and wine. For the last part of our tour, we will ride along the Rhone River and return back to the peninsula to return our electric bike.
