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!

People working there are nice but this doesnt mean (unfortunately) tours are good, organisation should be improved. Annecy was a beautiful place but you Can hardly hear the record they play during the tour with historic detaills and once in the city you are alone and free to explore on your own. I was supposed to go on a city tour as well which was cancelled and I got to know this once I was there ready to start... They found a place for me in a cheaper tour... Refunding me the difference and the driver forgot to pick me up to do the third part... Luckily I have a swiss phone so I could call the agency. Also would say they cant speak good English so it makes communication difficult.

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.

Reviewed By mitsy58

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.
