Discover Lyon in an original way : A historical, musical & sensorial experience! A journey that will allow us to know the history of Lyon through hearing and sight!

FOR WHO:

For travelers who love music, history & architecture. I propose to discover the city of Lyon through its music heritage. An exciting journey through the town’s musical scenes & history through multiple approaches: historical, social and architectural that will allow us to psychoanalyze Lyon’s soul.

HOW WE WILL DO IT:

Along this experience, basically developed in Presqu’ile and slopes of Croix-Rousse hill, we will discover different stories and musical scenes from the past and the present with the support of musical playlists that we will listen to and comment on.

BONUS : During the experience there is a wine tasting at a local winery that will allow us to take a break drinking some glasses of refreshing & delicious local wine.

What sets our pedicab tour apart is the blend of intimacy, flexibility, and dynamism. Unlike traditional tours, our private pedicab experience allows you to explore Lyon's charming streets, hidden gems, and renowned landmarks more intimately. With the ability to navigate narrower lanes and access areas off the beaten path, you're guaranteed a tour that goes beyond the ordinary.

Our tour is not just about sightseeing; it's about immersing yourself in the life of Lyon. It's dynamic, allowing for spontaneous stops and detours based on your curiosity. Want to take a closer look at the stunning murals, or perhaps a surprise visit to a local artisan's shop? Our flexible itinerary makes it possible.

In a reduced timeframe, our pedicab tour covers more ground than any walking tour could, without sacrificing depth for breadth. This means you get to see and experience more of Lyon's magic, history, and culture in a way that's both efficient and deeply engaging.
