We enjoyed our tour, but we really feel that for the price, a truly bi-lingual guide is required. Our guide was lovely and informed, but her English was not as understandable as we felt it should be for the quality of tour this was. We also think that a short stop during the tour, for a coffee or short sit, is desirable. Two solid hours of walking and listening on the streets, was a bit much for us. We would have liked to have 15 minutes of it to sit and listen. At the end, our guide walked us to the funicular to the ancient city, but did not let us know that there were 2 different funiculars to it, so we took the wrong one to the top. We thought this was something she might have known as an expert on Lyon. Overall, we would recommend the tour, with some modifications.
