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.

City/coast electric bike tour

4.00A good all round tour, city and coast. You do need to be bike-confident on this all day tour as we really did zip around everywhere and sometimes in heavy traffic. The electric bikes were essential. There was opportunity to pre-purchase sandwiches at the bike-cafe which are later delivered to you at the beach/lunch stop and they were very tasty.
We had a blast! Cindy...

5.00Perfect way to enjoy Versailles. Our guide Cindy was GREAT. The bikes made the many hills very manageable. From pickup to return to the shop by Emanuele a perfect day.
Great day out exploring south of Marseille down to the Calanques

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.
