"Elisabetta is a great guide with a warm, humorous way of putting across the complex history and politics of this fabulous city. We were thoroughly entertained whilst learning so much. Elisabetta’s tips on places to visit and eat were thoughtful and helpful. Highly recommended"
"Joelle dinner experience can't be missed. She hosts a wonderful dinner party by providing great food and making all her guests feel welcome and comfortable. There were lovely drinks as well. Her home is the perfect setting for a wonderful evening."
"We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Lyon with Elisabetta! Her passion for the city, its history, culture, and food truly brought everything to life. She was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed or scripted.
We discovered so many hidden gems and local stories that we never would have found on our own. Her recommendations were fantastic, and her enthusiasm for Lyon was contagious. It was one of the highlights of our trip to France.
Thank you again for such a memorable experience — we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lyon!"
"What a wonderful experience! Caroline helped us pick the best start time for her masterful tour through Les Halles. She is an extremely talented tour guide and regaled us with so much interesting knowledge about the local food culture. Thank you!"
"She was so knowledgeable about the history of Lyon. We saw so many beautiful places and very special shops and eateries. She is very kind and a lot of fun. You will have a wonderful tour with Elisabetta!"
"We thoroughly enjoyed our evening hosted by Joelle and Phillipe! Their food was fabulous, their home lovely, and the view is amazing. We were joined by two others and truly enjoyed our evening. Merci beaucoup Joelle and Phillipe!

"We had a wonderful day with Elizabetta she was so sweet and very interesting. Had lots of great stories and anecdotes for us. We got a great feel for the town and its history. We discussed other places we were going to go see and restaurants and after the tour, she very sweetly sent us a lot of suggestions and restaurant information. Highly recommend her."
"Joelle's market tour and cooking class were exceptional. First we walked through the fresh outdoor market purchasing items we'd be using in the food preparation. Then we returned (through pouring rain) to her house where we prepared and cooked the meal. Joelle is upbeat and we had a delicous meal and a wonderful time cooking, eating, and spending time with a French person. This was our first experience with \"withlocals\" and I'd definitely schedule another tour."
"She was a great guide with lots of inside info and background on history as well as new happenings in Vieux Lyon. She also shared good info on shopping and dining that was very helpful! Love With Locals!"
"We had a great time with Elisabetta in Lyon. She was very knowledgeable and professional and she showed us details and hidden places in the city. Our visit to Lyon would not have been the same without her. We definitely recommend her services. "
