What our guests say
A tour with a local and french native guide! Thank you for all the stories and funny jokes that made this tour not only a food tour but an adventure. The "charcuteries" and cheeses without all your explanations would be tasteless! We highly recommand Anna's food tour!
C'est une super façon de découvrir Lyon: c'est original et très gourmand!
Merci Anna!
Une superbe visite gourmande du Vieux Lyon ! Entre anecdotes historiques passionnantes, découverte et dégustations locales (mention spéciale aux quenelles !), on passe un moment à la fois savoureux et enrichissant. Merci pour cette belle expérience authentique !
The 3-hour food and walk tour through Lyon was an unforgettable blend of flavor and history. Anna did it in a magical way whereby every bite told a story of the city’s rich culinary heritage. We specifically felt Anna's insight and food scholarly background made the whole experience way more passionate and personable. Thanks Anna for showcasing to us Lyon's role as the gastronomic heart of France. Highly recommend. M&M x
Highly recommend! This was the best way I can think of to try a bunch of regional dishes at one time and to get the expertise of a local on where to eat throughout our stay in Lyon. Everything we ate was incredibly delicious (still thinking about a few of these dishes) and we had such a great time chatting with Anna!
Anna was an amazing tour guide! I booked the private tour and Anna was really lovely and accommodating and easy to talk to. The tour itself was great as well, ticked off all the iconic foods of Lyon in record time, with solid historical background on Lyon and the cuisine. I learnt so much and left feeling full of knowledge and great food. Highly recommend Anna’s tour for anyone travelling solo or with a group.
Simply the best way to discover the heart of Lyon. Anna is so elaborate with her information about the history and Where the food orginates from. I learned so much from her.
We went on not one but two two tours with Anna - a bakery tour and a cheese tour. Anna was animated, knowledgable, awesome with our kids. She is not only a foodie who is in with the best of Lyon and can open doors where needed, but she also shared her knowledge of street art, and took us through Lyon's "traboules" creating a world of intrigue for our kids and even us. All in all - just a fantastic and memorable experience, worth more than we paid. Our family will always remember anna and her awesome tours!
As a vegetarian and a non foodie, was not sure I was in the right place. But, the tour was excellent — food, culture and history. Loved it.
I had a fantastic one on one tour with Anna on drizzly day the other week. However, the tour was anything but damp. Anna was very knowledgeable & places we visited were very welcoming. Highly recommend Anna & her tours.

My partner and I had a wonderful time with Anna exploring Lyon and its wonderful foods! She was a wonderful source of knowledge and you could tell the community really appreciates her as they all greeted her as we passed by. The food she took us to was all wonderful quality and I loved learning more about Lyon and its food - I even enjoyed being quizzed about it later! And Anna was especially wonderful in taking such good care of us in this heat wave to keep us shaded and hydrated. Could not recommend this tour more!
This was such a great tour, we highly recommend! My wife and I spent a few days in Lyon and we wanted to try as much food as we could. Anna brought us to so many great places, she shared knowledge of the local history and had lots of tips for things that we could do beyond the tour. We even ran into her later in the day where she and her friends were so kind as to direct us to a great local bar, which we loved! Anna made the tour so personable and accommodating, it was a highlight of our trip. For anyone looking to get a taste of Lyon, make sure you book with Anna!
Anna was super friendly, very knowledgeable and very willing to adjust for my husbands allergy needs. So happy we did this food tour, it was a highlight of our trip!
I had high expectations going into the tour and Anna blew them away. She was so personal with our group and made us feel right at home. She has a great knowledge for the food and history of Lyon making this tour an incredible experience for our group.
She even gave food recommendations to try outside of the tour and it became one of our favorite meals we had the entire trip.
I would recommend doing this tour early in your stay in Lyon as Anna will help you gain a better appreciation and idea of what to look for while eating your way through the city. I could not recommend this experience more 10/10.
I had a very short stay in Lyon and this was the best part of my time there! Anna was so knowledgeable and easy to talk to! Knew lots about the history of Lyon and even the general gastronomic history of France - must do in Lyon!
