5.00Our guide Sabine was extremely knowledgable about the history of Marseille. Comfortable bikes, and a LOT of biking with beautiful scenery. Lunch at the beach, and time for a dip in the ocean as well. Overall a great experience!
It was a great bike trip...

5.00It was a great bike trip and a great way to see Marseille. The e-bikes make it very reasonable despite the steep hills. I wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t have some level of physical fitness, though. We had a friendly small group of 5. Our guide Lucie was a pleasure. We bought sandwiches through the bike shop that the tour operates out of. They were reasonably priced. I’d also recommend having them bring extra water when they bring lunch. I would recommend this tour.
Fantastic E-Bike tour with Cindy

5.00This tour was a highlight of my trip. Our guide, Cindy, was incredibly friendly and showed us the best sights around Marseille, as well as a beautiful trail leading to the Les Calanques. The ride was smooth, the views were amazing, and the whole experience was well-organized and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
The ride was great. Make sure you are in good enough shape to finish.

3.00The ride and guide were great. The beach at the end was ok and lacked any shade to enjoy lunch after riding all morning in the sun. Recommend being in decent shape for the ride. Some of our group was unable to complete the ride and required an Uber to get back to the ship. Disappointed with lunch. We were offered sandwiches for lunch and told there would be no where else to eat on the tour. It was part of the tour by all indications. We were never asked to pay for the sandwiches as they had collected money for the beverages we took, before starting the tour. We selected sandwiches and went on the tour. At the end we were surprised with a bill for the sandwiches. Told that our guide had forgotten to collect payment. Did not appreciate the feeling of being mislead and not given an opportunity to find a different lunch. I’m sure there was better food to be found than the sandwiches we ate.
Amazing tour of Marseille

5.00This was our best excursion during our European cruise. We were picked up promptly at the cruise port and taken a short 15 minutes to the bike shop. Everyone there was very friendly and helpful. Our tour guide Gaby was so informative and fun! She pointed out so many points of interest along the bike ride and was always checking on us for needed breaks. It was HOT, but we cooled off in an amazing spot along the trail where we were able to swim in a beautiful location for photos too. We had delicious sandwiches made by the shop for lunch in a nice shaded park area. We took the longer 6 hour tour and it was amazing. Even though we don’t bike too often, the electric bide does a lot of the work for you, so it’s not hard at all. Highly recommend!
