Highlights
Food is undoubtedly one of Lyon's most beloved traditions. Since 1935, the city has been considered the world capital of gastronomy. When Lyon's culinary traditions were being forged, the famous "Mères Lyonnaises" (Lyonnaise Mothers) managed to turn Lyon cuisine into an institution. Today, male chefs dominate the scene, like the famous Paul Bocuse, however it is the women who evolved the renowned cuisine. Many of the recipes around the city are unchanged from their humble beginnings, meaning you'll have the opportunity to taste the culture and history that has turned Lyon into the culinary hub it is today. We'll guide you through this gastronomic journey infused with passion, history, and exquisite French food and wine. Find out why eating and drinking are not just a pastime in Lyon, but a way of life.

Secret Food Tours
While this is a food tour, the guide will also take you around the old town in Lyon and tell you stories of its history. Our guide Charlotte took great care of us (it was also raining on and off on that day) and the tour go on smoothly If you have any allergies you can let the guide know before the tour starts I'm keeping this tour a secret so i won't be listing what food you'll be eating while on this tour but definitely local cuisine and a good one
