Hello there ! I am Jérémie, full-time tour guide and holder of the professional Tour Guide card. I was born in Lyon in 1990 and I'm still in love with my hometown city. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time exploring my city, reading stories about it, hearing my grand-mother telling me how the city was when she was my age. That's how you fall in love with a city. When I was 18, I went to University of Lyon to study History. I studied History for five years, lived in Canada for one year, then one year in Australia, came back here, graduated, and became a professional tour guide. Now, I'm working as a full time tour guide in and around my hometown. Best job ever if you ask me, especially when you're passionate about something: telling you all the stories I've learnt that make me think that Lyon and it's surrounding area is the best place in the world. So now, I'd like to welcome you in my city. I propose you a unique guided experience in Lyon private tours. Discover the hidden parts of Lyon that few people know about. Step back in time and follow me into the footsteps of the Canuts (the old silk weaving workers), in the traboules (secret passageways) of the Old Lyon or enjoy the lookouts over the city right next to the old roman vestiges of the Fourvière hill. I'm also doing wine and food tours. We're very lucky to have amazing wine countries right outside Lyon: Beaujolais in the North and Rhone valley wines in the south. Discover the Lyon countryside, as beautiful as ever, and rich in historical, culinary and wine-growing heritage. From the Beaujolais hills to the steep slopes of Côtes-Rôties, vineyards and winegrowers sublimate a terroir shaped for millennia. All of my tours can be tailored to your preferences. My goal for you is to enjoy a real experience with a local! 2008 - Bachelor Degree 2011 - Bachelor Licence of History University Lyon 2 2013 - Master Degree of History Université du Québec à Rimouski 2014 - Master Degree of History University Lyon 2 2015 - Professionnal Bachelor Licence of Tour Guide (Guide Conférencier) I do not have any restriction

Overview of your Lyon tour

Let's go to Perouges! Just thirty minutes away from Lyon, on top of a hill, you'll see a weird little village coming out straight from the Middle Ages. Welcome to Perouges, one of the few medieval cities still standing in France. Take a walk back in time and follow me through the old alleys of the city, from the fortress to the main square. In this tour you will have a tasting break in the medieval inn of the village to try the famous Galette of Perouges

Perouges is a wonderful town to visit, only a short distance from Lyon. Medieval villages are always our favorite places. Jeremie did a great job of bringing the place alive. We really enjoyed it and can recommend Jeremie with out reservation.

Jeremie was fantastic!! Nice, friendly, great sense of humor and so knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our afternoon with him in Perouges. He was even accommodating to our pick up and drop off needs which was very helpful. We'd love to do another tour with him one day.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Perouges with Jeremie. Perouges is a fascinating village and we were fortunate to see it in winter when it was uncrowded. Jeremie is very knowledgeable and tells great stories, with humour and with insight into what interests his guests.
