We had such a fantastic time on this bike tour of Lyon! Our guide, Shirine, was amazing! super friendly, fun, and full of knowledge about the city and its history. She showed us places we never would have found on our own, including the stunning city park which was a real highlight.
I’m not an experienced rider and was a little nervous about the Saturday traffic, but I felt safe with Shirine leading the way. The E bikes were top quality and so easy to ride – it made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable.
This tour was one of the best things we did in Lyon. Highly recommend!

This was a quick overview of Vieux Lyon. Our guide Nicholas was very knowledgeable of the area. He also was good at keeping track of all the riders in our group. No one was left behind ;)
The only recommendation is for them to have a couple of XL helmets available for those with big brains. Other than that, all 3 of us would give this a 5 out of 5

The guide was very knowledgeable and the bikes worked well. I enjoyed the park and river path. We did ride slowly and missed seeing the mural which was supposed to be the last stop. They didn’t have helmets for small adults either.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your feedback!
We're glad you enjoyed the park and the river path, and that the bikes were a good fit for the ride. We always do our best to adapt to the pace and needs of the group, though unfortunately this can sometimes mean that a stop can gets left out along the way. Our guides make every effort to fit in as much as possible within the time. We also take note of your comment regarding helmets for smaller adults and will do our best to improve on this. 😊

Unfortunately, after our Viator audio guides were rejected by the Notre Dame, we assumed the same would occur with our Lyon e-bike tours, so we didn’t attend. They then called me to ask if we were still planning on doing the e-bike tour, but by then we were too far away from the rendezvous to make it:(
TIMOTHY_P, Jun 2026
Had a great time seeing Lyon with an informative guide. Very knowledgeable and relax pace. Stop several times to discuss the location and its history.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words!
We're glad you enjoyed exploring Lyon at a relaxed pace: we always make sure to take the time to stop and soak in the city's most significant spots, so that the history and stories behind each location really have a chance to sink in. That's what makes a bike tour so special compared to rushing through on your own! 😁

Emily was well educated about the area making the tour very good. We loved the tunnel as it was cool as Lyon was experiencing an heat wave.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hello,
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour with Amélie and her insights into Lyon's history and local life 😊
The Croix-Rousse tunnel is definitely a favourite during the warmer months, and we're happy it provided a refreshing break during the heat wave while letting you discover the city!

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Hello,
Thank you for your lovely review! We're glad you enjoyed discovering Lyon by bike — and you're absolutely right: our e-bikes can provide a little cardio if you choose a lower assistance level, or a completely effortless ride with more support from the motor 😊

Super fun bike tour around the centre of Lyon. You see a lot of tourist sites and enjoy the history behind them.
Our guide was proud of the city and passionate about explaining the basis for each site. There is always a little friendly rivalry with other French cities which makes it light.
We were able to go to a beautiful park with lots of people enjoying their Saturday.
Know that you will be biking within the city where there are bike lanes but also traffic. Be comfortable on a bike and ideally on an e-bike.
Joanne_W, May 2026
Excellent e-bikes! Especially liked the cushion handlebars. We were on the Viking river cruise already done excursions with them. But Nate took us to places that we never saw, including the city hall with magnificent horse statues and in the park of Gold Head, aMing other places. T Lyon great place to ride a bicycle because of the bicycle lanes. It was comfortable for me and I don’t like riding a bike next to cars.

Pleasant way to see central Lyon and learn a bit about the city........................ ,...........

Rachel_D, Oct 2025
Very pleasant tour guide, he was knowledgeable and nice. I wish we would have stopped more inside the park so we could take more pictures of the beautiful Fall colors but overall very nice experience. I would do it again.

Nate was very friendly, funny, passionate, and knowledgeable about Lyon. We saw some of old town and a huge beautiful park. It is so worthwhile to see the city by electric bike. It was also so much easier than I imagined.
Robert_J, Sep 2025
Alex was our tour guide. He did a great job as a guide and keeping all the bikers safe and together. The bike route was mainly flat. It was a beautiful ride. A great way to see several sites in Lyon. The electric assisted bikes were in good shape and easy to use. I highly recommend this tour for bike riders.
Caitlin_F, Sep 2025
My husband and I did this bike tour immediately upon arriving in Lyon and were very grateful for Alex leading us through the city. He kept us safe, the e-bikes were super easy to use, and taught us a lot about the history of Lyon. The highlight for me was getting to bike all around Parc Tête d’or. He also gave some great recommendations for places to check out while we in Lyon. I highly recommend this tour!

We did the bicycle tour of Lyon in June 2025 with Nate as our guide. He did a great job and showed us much of the city as well as telling about its history and special places. We loved it.
