Overview

Were there any lions in Lyon? Why did they build so many secret passages and what kind of troubles happened in the "traboules"? Where did the kings keep their mistresses? Why is the city center sliding down the hill throughout centuries?

Join me to walk the streets that are as busy today as they were 500 years ago, see Lyon as it was at the era of Roman Empire, and hear more cool stories about this amazing city, its history, architecture and culture.

The departure time and place is flexible depending on your preferences.

Konstantin was a knowledgeable, patient tour guide. We have been to Lyon several times, but learned a lot about Lyon’s ancient history that we would not have known otherwise. He tailored our tour to our walking needs and showed us many secret Traboules in Old Lyon. Fascinating.
