    A great tour not to be missed

    This private walking tour was excellent and real value for money. Our guide Konstantin was well informed and humorous, with a passion for Lyon history and hidden sites. We saw places we could have never known about and were given an excellent overview of Lyon's silk history. The tour was over 2 hour and the best of the this type I have ever attended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, Jo! I'm sure you'd have known about all those places eventually, I merely served as a shortcut so that you coud see it all in over 2 hours instead of two years :) Enjoy the rest of your travels!

    Great walking tour

    Excellent tour with Konstantin. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the history , architecture, and culture of Lyon. He took us places we would never have found on our own . I strongly recommend a tour with Kinstantin. It will greatly enhance your experience of Lyon.

    Response from the operator: Rhank you, Ralph, I feel humbled by your praise :) it was lovely walking with you. Good luck with your projects!

    It was interesting to see...

    It was interesting to see and learn about the trouboules of Lyon. ……………………………………………………………………………………..

    Response from the operator: Gail, thank you for taking time to write this review, I appreciate it ! I hope the rest of your travels went as well as or even better than our tour :)

    Outstanding!

    Konstantin is an interesting story himself. His knowledge of the subject matter was outstanding, his English was excellent and he is very personable to boot. There is a fair amount of walking with a seemingly open - ended time limit as you prefer. Great tour.

    Response from the operator: Hey, Mick, thank you for writing this review ! And thanks to your review I now know the phrase "to boot" :) The feeling is mutual, it was a great walk.

    Great experience

    I had a wonderful time with Konstantin. In addition to a fascinating tour of Lyon he also kindly let me practice my French with him. I’d thoroughly recommend this tour

    Response from the operator: Dear Fiona, I'm always happy to meet a fellow enthousiast for languages, learning someone's language is the first step to understand them and their culture. I'm glad I could help you with your French a little! Regards, Konstantin

    Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lyon.

    How much does Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lyon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lyon is not rushed.

    Is Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 162 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lyon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 57 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lyon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lyon and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lyon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lyon?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lyon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lyon Highlights & Secrets Walking Guided Tour (small group) including Funicular, Highlights and Hidden Gems of Lyon Guided Walking Tour (English), Lyon Old Town Food Tour with 5 Authentic Dishes & Fine Wine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lyon?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lyon?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local guide. Not included: Any additional purchases (food, drinks, souvenirs....). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour?

    +

    Statue of Louis XIV Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Big Traboules in Little Lyon Private Walking Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Czech, Russian, Chinese, English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
