    Great fun. Don and #39;t get discouraged if they don and #39;t meet you at exactly 15 minutes prior. We met our guide a few minutes late but it was worth the wait! Jeremy ( our guide) is very well versed on the history of Lyon and beyond. I recommend the night tour. The weather is cooler and the lights are great

    The bike tour was good, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. Don't book it expecting a food tour though, this is bike tour with a bit of food put on at the end. We hadn't eaten so was starving by the time we did eat and it was more of a sharing starter so ended up looking for somewhere for dinner at 10pm. So eat before you do this evening bike tour.
