5.00Had a great day out exploring south of Marseille down to the Calanques national park. Eva was great guide taking us to various stops on the way and making sure we were all good on the bikes. The stop where you pick up the bikes also has friendly staff where you can grab a coffee or a beer too. If you do plan on swimming I would say to wear you stuff already as it just the national park and no where to change as such. Recommend if you're looking for a day out to see more of Marseille.

5.00Our English speaking (Dutch) guide Eva was absolutely FANTASTIC!!! My husband & I were in a group with 2 other bikers, which made this a wonderful small group today. Eva was very friendly, polite, funny, knowledgeable & most importantly passionate about our 6+ hrs tour. The scenery was stunning! These E-Bikes (much better than what we used in Amsterdam) made riding up the hill to Notre Dame de la Garde virtually effortless, like a hot knife cutting thru butter! Standing down in Marseille & contemplating riding a bike up that hill seemed impossible... The (purchased & delivered) picnic lunch thru Foda Bike Shop was fantastic while sitting on the rocks in Calanques National Park, followed by a dip in the Mediterranean. What a FUN day! We would do this tour again.
Fun way to see the city

5.00We felt like we saw everything. At one point my tire popped and our guide, Stephen, worked hard to fix it quickly. He tested it out too so he could insure it was totally fixed. We stopped at an authentic French bakery for lunch.
Outstanding
