Tuk Tuk Tour of Lyon
Options
When making the reservation, you can select the route that you like best:
Old Town tour
At your chosen time, we'll meet up at Place Bellecour square, where the fantastic tuk-tuk vehicle will be waiting for you. Once on board, we'll begin our wonderful one-hour tour through the historic center of Lyon. What was once a beating heart of the Renaissance is now a UNESCO heritage site.
We'll pass the most famous monuments of the Old Town, including the Cathedral of Saint-Jean, the Torre Rosa (Pink Tower), and the hill of Fourvière, also known as the "mystical mountain". You'll also learn all about the famous traboules, an architectural feature unique to Lyon.
If you wish, you'll be able to enjoy a continental breakfast at the emblematic Grand Café des Négociants. This optional 45-minute stop is perfect to recharge your batteries with croissants, coffee, juices, and other delicacies.
The Tuk Tuk tour finishes back at the original starting point.
Old Town & Peninsula tour
If you want a more complete experience, you can choose to book a two-hour tuk-tuk tour which takes in both the Old City and the Peninsula. This route also departs from Place Bellecour square and goes past some of the most emblematic landmarks of the Old Town, stopping in front of the Cathedral of Saint-Jean or the Torre Rosa.
This route, however, will also take you to the Presqu'île de Lyon - an elegant central area of restaurants, luxury department stores, and cultural centers, situated between the Rhone and Saône rivers. In this popular tourist hotspot, you'll find elegant Place Terreaux, home to the historic City Hall. Before finishing, we'll also make our way through the famous Place des Jacobins medieval square and admire the wall murals of this charming neighborhood.
The Tuk Tuk tour ends back at the original starting point.
