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!

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.

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!

Very easy 2 hour route! Nice to have a guide who can help you navigate the city. Would recommend putting microphones in helmets so people in back of single file can hear guide.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your feedback ! 🚴♀️ We're glad you enjoyed the easy ride and appreciated having a guide to help you navigate the city.
Regarding your suggestion about microphones — thank you for sharing it ! For safety reasons, all explanations are given only when the group is fully stopped, ensuring that everyone can listen attentively without distraction.
We also choose to prioritize human interaction during our tours, which is why we opt not to use audio headsets with microphones. It’s important to us to keep the experience personal and engaging. 😁

Jourdan_W, May 2025
This was one of our favorite activities in the city! Our tour guide Shirene was fantastic- she was energetic, funny, and spoke English fluently which was helpful for us in learning about the history of Lyon. She took note of our interests and made sure to comment on things she knew we would find fascinating along the way. The E-bikes were very easy to set up and fun to use. I was recovering from a knee surgery so I was worrying about being able to bike, but it couldn't have been easier. We loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely message ! 🚴♀️ We're so happy to hear that your tour with our guide Shirine was one of the highlights of your stay — like all of our guides, she always brings great energy and personal attention to every group.

Nate was an amazing guide, he made the whole experience fun with his knowledge and sense of humour. We covered alot of distance on the bikes and the park was an amazing unexpected surprise (won't spoil it for people doing this tour). The tour is well worth doing, meeting up was easy and the bikes were great especially with the additional help when cycling. 10/10 experience.
