Traveler Experiences with Matt’s France

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Farmers Market tour with an additional tour of Lyon's Traboules)

"Because of Matt, I got the full Lyon experience with food and French culture.”
My tour with Matt was absolutely amazing. Walking through the charming streets and traboules of La Croix-Rousse, Matt made me feel less like a tourist and more like a welcomed guest. His knowledge of the city, and genuine friendliness, created an unforgettable experience.

The farmers market was absolutely the highlight of my day. The amazing cheese stands and the rotisserie chickens that were dripping over hot russet potatoes were definitely my favorite part. What really stood out was watching Matt interact so naturally and with local vendors. There really was no language barrier whatsoever. He included me in conversations, answered my questions, and helped me connect with people I never would have spoken to on my own. Because of Matt, I got the full Lyon experience with food and French culture.

This tour allowed me to see Lyon in a way I did not expect. I highly recommend the farmer's market tour guide to any food-lover visiting Lyon. Thanks Matt!!

"Super friendly and a happy go lucky attitude."
A bustling and big city like Lyon can be daunting for a tourist like me. However, after our tour I felt more comfortable to explore and experience Lyon. I didn’t worry so much because how much I learned from my tour with Matt. His insights into the city comes from years living aboard as an American in Lyon. He has a desire and wish to help people. Traveling in a new place you hope to find people with this quality. Super friendly and a happy go lucky attitude. In my tour, we traveled to the farmers market and explored the old town. I got practical tips there that I can take with me back home.

“This tour is perfect for foodies. We booked this tour on our first morning in Lyon and it set the tone for our entire trip. During our tour Matt gave us tips on where to eat, kitchen supply store recommendations, and also helped us with the metro and tram at the end. Highly recommend!
