Hi everyone, my name is Maicon! I am a French licensed tour guide. Thank you for your interest in my tours of Lyon. A little bit about me… After graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Arts and Literature, a High University Diploma to become a French Licensed Tour Guide, and a Master's Degree in Art History, I've spent already many years providing unique experiences to people from all over the world. I am passionate about art and history, but the most beautiful thing about my work is the chance that I have to share that passion with other people. In Lyon, where I am currently living, my interests vary from ancient and archeological sites, to religious local history, medieval and renaissance architectural history, museums, modern history, and of course, everything related to Lyon's local traditions and reputation, such as, the Second World War, the silk industry, the very famous narrow and picturesque passage-ways called "Traboules", as well as gastronomy (with its very traditional restaurants named "Bouchons") and the heritage left in Lyon by the Father of French Gastronomy, Paul Bocuse. Lyon has a lot to offer. In every single corner, a piece of the city's history can be appreciated, and with a more dynamic walking pace, we can cover most of the city's main features. However, if you don't walk fast, and you feel like taking your time to ask questions, or even getting a quick rest or a coffee break, I'll be more than happy to adapt to your needs. After all, my philosophy is that it must be a very informative and interesting tour, but also, enjoyable to the whole group. My tours are customizable and the itineraries are flexible. Thank you again for reading my profile, and I look forward to hearing from you and meet you in Lyon. Academic background: - Bachelor's Degree in Languages and Literature (English and Portuguese) - Bachelor's Degree in Arts and Literature (France and Italy) - Professional Bachelor's Degree to become a French licensed guide - Master Degree in Art History Professional experience - Best French Guide of the year 2016 in Rome, Italy (based on reviews of visitors) - Tour guide in the Museum of Silk and Decorative Arts of Lyon - French Guide in Lyon I am not a driver, but I am pleased to accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
