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!
