- Reviewed in Canada on April 3, 2025A fantastic guide to Lyon! This book is packed with useful tips, beautiful recommendations, and great insights into the city's food, culture, and history. Perfect for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike. A must-have for anyone exploring Lyon!
- Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2025Verified PurchaseThis guide is nowhere near the calibre of a Rick Steeves Lonely Planet or Fodors etc but priced as a top tier guide. . Basic information is provided. In fact the same information (eg taxi information from airport) is repeated. Either limited editing or perhaps based on AI synthesis. No maps, no outlines of any depth for guided walks. Not worth the price paid.
