Lyon day trips with a local guide

The area around Lyon abounds with cultural treasures and beautiful nature sites. Fascinating historic towns and picturesque country villages await visitors who take the time to explore the surroundings of Lyon on day trips.

Impressive historic monuments reveal the local heritage, which stretches back millennia. You can notice that in Lyon, the former Capital city of Gaul. The influence of bygone eras is especially evident in Vienne, which boasts Roman monuments and Romanesque churches, and the medieval town of Pérouges, with its cobblestone alleyways, historic inns, and traditional restaurants.

"This full day wine tasting tour was outstanding. We went to 2 different wineries with different appellations, and tasted several wines at each. There were 7 of us in the group which was a good number. The pacing for the day was perfect and our guide Mathilde was outstanding. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was also outstanding. We had options to order a la carte, or 2 or 3 course prix fixe menus. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. My husband and I both ordered a salad with ravioli frites (mini raviolis that had been deep fried) and it was more than enough. I had ordered a cheese plate for dessert but the salad was such that I didn’t have room for the cheese, and so I took it home with me (made a great picnic dinner that night along with some meats, cheeses and olives we bought elsewhere). The weather was beautiful and on the way back to Lyon we had a surprise stop with a beautiful view and yes, more wine. I would highly recommend this tour."

"My husband and I had a wonderful day in Beaujolais with Julie as our guide! She was extremely knowledgeable about the region, the wine, and even helped us prepare for our tastings with a fun game on the drive. She also went way above and beyond by helping us ship wine home. We would absolutely book Rhone Trip again next time we're in the area!"
