A great taste of the city in one day

5.00We enjoyed our visit. Meeting place is a cool, eclectic bike shop with a very warm and friendly staff. This tour will allow you to visit not only some busy tourist spots but also enjoy a beautiful ride out to the nature reserve. The Ebike will help you to get the most out of your time with minimal impact to your biking muscles. We suggest stopping at the restaurant for lunch and grabbing some shade while you enjoy the local flavors. We did a picnic at the Calanques but it was a little uncomfortable with no seating and no shade. We would definitely recommend this tour to first time visitors who want to get acquainted with Marseille and cover a lot of ground in one day. Wear your sunscreen and bring some water along. Look forward to meeting the shop dog!

5.00The experience was very pleasant and corresponded to what was proposed in the description. The route followed was full of stages and was not challenging (the pedal assist was very useful). Special thanks to our guide, Amadis, who was very nice and met our needs.
Must do for bikers / active tourists.

5.00This tour was incredible ! It was a very windy day, but we saw as much as we could see. Fada bike shop was amazing.! The sights were picturesque and beautiful right on the Mediterranean Sea. It was so beautiful riding the coastline.

5.00Even though the weather turned cold and windy very soon after we started the tour, our guide Cindy still made our tour very enjoyable because of her wealth of information and her pleasant personality. She also made sure we were at all times safe and comfortable despite some challenging climbs. The e-bikes were in good order. It was quite a worthwhile investment of our time and money to take this tour.
Great day

5.00We had so much fun on oure-bike tour. It was great to see both the city and the national park. An unexpected highlight of my particular tour date was stopping at a local bakery for lunch (you buy your own food). I will be dreaming about that bakery for a while. I was only in town for own day because I was on a cruise ship, but I would definitely still pick that outting for my day in Marseille if given the option again.
Beautiful coastal ride

5.00We had an amazing tour with Fab, we got to see so many beautiful places and try some amazing French food. Would highly recommend for all agers! The bikes were in great condition and we finished the day with half battery after riding 35km. Fabs local knowledge was very good and her English was fantastic as well.

5.00We were a little nervous doing this bike tour in the winter/cold but we absolutely loved our tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, fun and customized the tour to our groups liking. He brought us to one of the best local bakeries I’ve ever been to. I hate olives and I’m still dreaming of the focaccia bread with olives inside. The national park was beautiful!! Highly recommend this tour. Well paced and well run! And we loved the owners fluffy dog! So friendly.
