A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

This was an excellent day trip from Lyon. Oliver was the perfect guide for this region. He was very knowledgeable & friendly. We learned so much about the grapevines & making of wine. He guided us through the scenic countryside & medieval villages providing much interesting history on the region. Very enjoyable!

The tour was very good and buses were always on time. My suggestion will be to correct the audio settings as the music is too loud and the comments are too low, causing a permanent requirement to adjust volume.

due to pandemic we had decided the best way to explore Lyon was on foot, but in order to see it all we spent a day using the bus to get down to the Confluence & up to the Roman Ruins & Basilica. Drivers were very friendly, the audio guide is well presented (apart from some of the music intervals!!!) & very few passengers at this time. We took first bus at 10am & picked it up again mid afternoon after we had explored the Basilica & Roman Museum & walked the 1,000 or so steps down to old town for lunch.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
