Exclusive rooftops of Lyon

Views, views, views--that's what we deliver on this 2-hour active walk that takes you off the beaten path for the most exquisite panoramas of Lyon! Since no trip to Lyon is complete without a stop on Fourvière Hill, your excursion begins with an exclusive VIP ascent to the top of Fourvière Basilica. From this rare vantage point, marvel at breathtaking panoramas over the city and admire the distant Alps (when skies are clear). Then, continue to some of Lyon's most coveted public and private terraces. With unmatched views in any direction, you'll feel like you're on top of the world.

This was truly amazing…but do not recommend if you are afraid of heights.
