About this activity
Explore Lyon's highlights via private pedicab—a comfortable, flexible middle ground between walking tours and buses that lets you cover major landmarks and hidden gems in two hours with a knowledgeable local guide. The intimate, personalized format means you set the pace, choose photo stops, and hear stories tailored to your interests without the fatigue or crowded-group experience.
Private Pedicab Tour in Lyon
See Lyon from a pedicab — covering more ground than a walking tour without the fatigue, and with more detail and flexibility than a bus.
This private two-hour tour takes you through Lyon's key landmarks and hidden corners: riverside views along the Presqu'île, historic squares, layered architecture, and cultural markers that define the city's identity. Your guide narrates as you ride, with photo stops wherever you want them.
Ideal for travelers with limited time, reduced mobility, families with young children, or anyone who wants a comfortable, unhurried overview of the city with a knowledgeable local guide.
No large groups, no headphones, no fixed script — just your group, your pace, and a guide who adapts in real time.

Insider tips
- ★Request your guide focus on specific neighbourhoods (Vieux Lyon, Presqu'île, or Fourvière) if you have particular interests—they'll adapt the route.
- ★Go in late afternoon (4–5 PM) for golden-hour light along the rivers and better photos of architectural details.
- ★Bring a light layer; you'll feel wind more on a pedicab than walking, especially near water.
