    About the ride

    Travel in comfort with a private and fully personalised sightseeing ride and experience Lyon transformed by night. Together with your English-speaking Welcome Driver, you can choose which illuminated landmarks to prioritize, how long to stop for photos, and whether to follow our suggested route or adapt it to your preferences.

    Your driver is a friendly local professional who knows the best panoramic viewpoints and scenic night routes across the city. While not a licensed tour guide, they’re always happy to share stories about Lyon’s famous light traditions and architectural heritage.

    This flexible, door-to-door experience allows you to admire Lyon’s glowing skyline and historic monuments without navigating hills or public transport after dark. Relax and enjoy the city’s top landmarks in a completely different atmosphere.

    Suggested Itinerary

    Your evening begins with pickup from your centrally located accommodation in Lyon. Enjoy Travel in comfort with a private and fully personalised sightseeing ride as the city lights begin to glow.

    Start at 1Fourvière Hill, where you’ll admire panoramic nighttime views over Lyon’s illuminated skyline. With your English-speaking Welcome Driver, enjoy a smooth hilltop arrival and capture unforgettable photos of the glowing city below.

    Continue to 2Place des Terreaux, where elegant squares and historic façades are beautifully lit, creating a romantic and cinematic atmosphere. This flexible stop allows time to step out, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful evening ambiance.

    Finish at 3Rhône & Saône Riverbanks, a scenic riverside drive where reflections shimmer across the Rhône and Saône rivers — the perfect final highlight before your relaxing door-to-door experience back to your accommodation.

    After two magical hours exploring Lyon by night, your driver will comfortably return you to your hotel or apartment.

    Important Notes

    Your driver is a local, English-speaking professional. While not a licensed tour guide, they’re always happy to share stories, insights, and recommendations — much like a knowledgeable friend showing you around.

    Pickup and drop-off are included from any centrally located hotel, B&B, or apartment in the city area. Your driver will meet you at the selected location and assist you before the ride begins.

    Airport and port pickups/drop-offs are not included in the standard sightseeing ride. If you need one, simply book an additional transfer for seamless service.

    Entrance tickets are not included. This is a panoramic sightseeing ride focused on exterior landmarks and viewpoints.

    The itinerary is flexible — stops and photo locations can be adjusted depending on weather and your interests.

    Please mention any special requirements (service animals, accessibility needs, oversized luggage, etc.) in the booking notes so we can ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at [email protected] for any specific questions regarding your booking.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Any cancelation that is requested up to 24 hours prior to the operation time is entitled to a refund of 80%  

    In case of cancellation in less than 24 hours prior to the operation time or in case of no-show of the customer, you are not eligible for any form of refund. 

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Good to know?

    Please note that the Welcome Drivers are not licensed to be your official tour guide at the local attractions and therefore will not accompany you into the sites. You may, however, hire a professional tour guide at an extra cost.

    Your Welcome Driver will provide you with their local knowledge and personal recommendations between stops. Since your safety is Welcome’s top priority, please refrain from distracting the driver during demanding driving conditions.

    Your Welcome Driver will drop you off and pick you up as close as possible to your stop whilst always respecting local traffic laws.

    Summer Essentials

    In the summer months, the sun is especially strong (even on cloudy days) so we recommend that you wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself. Also, be sure to drink enough water throughout the day to stay hydrated.

    Local Currency

    We recommend you always keep local currency on you as many local merchants do not accept cards as payment.
