In the beginning , we were a bit skeptical about the tour . However , it turned out to be one of the best tours we’ve ever had. Paul was excellent , he explained everything well and his English was excellent so, we could understand everything. He showed us around some amazing neighbourhoods in Vieux Lyon and gave us some extra tips for our trip.
