About this tour
This planning call helps you build a food-focused day in Lyon, balancing the covered market halls with the historic trading streets nearby. Inès talks through what matters most to you and checks the plan against opening days, since several key spots close on Mondays. You leave with a realistic order that actually works on your dates.
After a short chat about your dates and interests, Inès sketches a route live and explains her reasoning for each stop. She checks opening days carefully and offers an alternative if something on your dates is closed. A written version of the plan follows by message.
This suits anyone planning a food-focused day and wanting to avoid closed doors. It also suits a first visit to Lyon, when the food scene can feel overwhelming to plan alone.

- A 45-minute call with a local guide

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Lyon: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
