Lyon · DARK LYON GHOST & MYSTERY TOURS
12 reviewed
After dark the traboules and the old courts keep their stories. These 12 ghost and mystery tours trade sightseeing for shadows: which walk the haunted lanes of Vieux Lyon, which play out as an exploration game, how long each lasts and what it costs, so you can pick your kind of unease.

“I would absolutely not recommend this tour! The app was a fun idea and I expected to get some good stories of the city. The game takes you into the neighborhoods outside the tourist area. We did see things we wouldn’t have seen but we walked uphill the entire way almost and about 2 miles away from the city. The tour takes you through some deserted streets and leaves you in the middle of no where with really bad directions back to where you started. It took us almost as long to get back to where we started as the entire game. Do not waste your money!”
