- For groups of 6 or more
Description
A map, a backpack, a few clues… and may the best team win!
Looking for a bachelor party activity that gets everyone’s legs moving as much as their brains? With Taka Express, our bachelor party treasure hunt in Lyon, the groom-to-be’s crew splits into teams and sets off to conquer the city, map in hand. The route starts and finishes in Old Lyon, with a walking trail that takes you through the Presqu’île district and up to Croix-Rousse.
Along the way, you’ll discover the iconic landmarks of Lyon, as well as hidden gems showcasing the city’s traditional craftsmanship — the kind of treasures you rarely notice as you walk by. At each checkpoint, an activity leader will be waiting with a challenge inspired by Lyon’s local culture. How many challenges are there, and what are they? We’ll keep that a surprise.
Fun, rated 2/5 in difficulty, and available all year round, this unique activity in Lyon is perfect for groups of adult friends, with a minimum of 6 participants. And if your group has 10 or more people, the groom-to-be takes part for free.
- For groups of 6 or more
