Overview

A truly private tour :

This experience is 100% private: only you and your group — no strangers, no fixed routes, no imposed pace.

Explore historic traboules that are normally closed to the general public, in Vieux Lyon and Croix-Rousse, thanks to a licensed and authorised local guide.

Living history, not tourist storytelling :

Discover the key role of the silk workers (Canuts) and the French Resistance during World War II, through the secret passageways that shaped Lyon’s history.

A flexible itinerary, tailored to you :

The walk adapts to your interests: architecture, medieval history, local life, or UNESCO World Heritage.

Led by a local expert :

Your tour is guided by a licensed professional guide, specialised in private and cultural tours in Lyon.

Carefully selected traboules :

With over 500 traboules across the city, this tour focuses on the most meaningful and historically rich ones — many outside conventional tourist routes

Traboules & Courtyards – Old Town (Vieux Lyon) Enter the Renaissance heart of Lyon, with its iconic traboules and inner courtyards in Vieux Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

This part focuses on architecture, medieval history, and the evolution of the old town from the 15th century onward.
