About Unique Tours Lyon

Unique Tours Lyon  is a boutique private tour operator founded and curated by Didac Trave Martos, licensed local guide (guide-conférencier).

The company specializes in 100% private experiences in Lyon: UNESCO Old Town walks, traboules and hidden courtyards, pedicab tours, and cultural experiences combining history, music, and wine.

All tours are designed with a clear philosophy:
depth over speed, human scale over mass tourism, and real cultural context rather than scripted commentary.

Depending on availability and the format of the experience, tours are led either directly by Didac or by a small circle of trusted, licensed guides who collaborate with Unique Tours Lyon.
Each guide works according to the same editorial framework, standards, tone and level of historical rigor defined by the founder.

This structure allows flexibility without compromising quality:
clients always receive the same level of storytelling, pacing, and personalization — whether walking through the traboules of Vieux Lyon or discovering the city by pedicab.

Languages & approach

Tours are offered primarily in English, with fluent options in French and Spanish.
The majority of guests come from the United States and other English-speaking countries, seeking meaningful, well-paced private visits rather than checklist sightseeing.
