    Roman was a wonderful...

    Roman was a wonderful tour guide! We were a family of 15 traveling with 7 children and fun was had by all. Roman was very patient, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He was quick to point out restaurant recommendations and other places to explore at the end of the tour. Thanks for the fun!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. All the team is very happy to know you were fully satisfied by the service provided by Romain as an official tour guide. Don't hesitate to ask us for any tour in France. Kindest regards Aurélie Mignet

    Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide !: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $228 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide !?

    +

    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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide !?

    +

    Around 2 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! 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 Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide !?

    +

    Included: Your private professional guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide !?

    +

    Your guide will meet you in front of the cathedral. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Private guided tour of Old Lyon with your official tour guide ! offered in?

    +
