- For groups of 6 or more
Description
A map, a backpack, some clues… and may the best team win!
Looking for a bachelorette party activity that gets your legs moving as much as your brain? With Taka Express, our bachelorette party scavenger hunt in Lyon, the bride-to-be’s group splits into teams and sets off to conquer the city, map in hand. Starting and finishing in Vieux Lyon, the walking route takes you through the Presqu’île and up to Croix-Rousse.
Along the way, you’ll discover Lyon’s iconic landmarks, as well as hidden gems of its traditional craftsmanship—the kind of treasures you rarely notice as you pass by. At each checkpoint, a host will be waiting with a challenge inspired by Lyon’s unique culture. How many challenges will there be, and what will they involve? We’re keeping that a surprise.
Fun, rated 2/5 in difficulty, and available year-round, this unusual activity in Lyon is perfect for groups of adult friends, with a minimum of 6 participants. And if you have at least 10 people, the bride-to-be gets to join for free.
- For groups of 6 or more
The activity is designed for adults aged 18 and over and requires a minimum of 6 participants, with no upper limit — making it ideal for large groups.
