What to expect
Expect a leisurely walking tour that stops frequently—you're moving slowly by design to savour products and chat with makers. Your guide will steer you through the medieval lanes of Vieux Lyon, pointing out the architecture and stories behind the food culture that earned this place its standing. At each stop, you'll taste something specific: cured meats, cheese, pastries, or local preparations. Lunch happens midway through, allowing time to sit and eat properly rather than grab-and-go. The pace is steady but unhurried; this isn't a fitness challenge.
