What to expect

You'll settle into a covered electric pedicab—no pedalling required—as your guide steers you through Lyon's medieval and Renaissance heart. The treasure hunt unfolds as you roll: clues point you toward traboules (those atmospheric covered walkways), architectural details, and squares where your guide contextualises what you're seeing. Between solving puzzles, pastries arrive: local specialities sampled in the moment. On the 2-hour version, the route extends into Presqu'île and along the Rhône, where hillside views of Fourvière and Croix-Rousse open up. It's a hybrid of sightseeing, light detective work, and tasting.
