About Exploratour

Exploratour turns every walk into a journey through time and a game. Our mission: make urban heritage accessible, fun and immersive for everyone.

Who are we?

Exploratour was born from a passion for Lyon and its history. Convinced that urban heritage is best discovered through play rather than reading, we create interactive experiences that blend exploration, riddles and history. Our ambition: turn every city into an adventure playground.
