Loved everything about this tour. We took the three-hour option, and saw so much. Our guide asked if we wanted her to talk less and bike more, which we all agreed to, and that enabled her to take us to the park and zoo which were not on the itinerary. I'm so glad she did this. It was great. She provided so much history and insights, that I felt like a local. Highly recommend.

The tour was great. We saw places in Lyon we never would have experienced on our own. Bikes were also very nice.

Lyon has so much to offer, and I think using an electric bike is probably the best way to see the city. The pacing was perfect, and it's fun to ride around :)

This was an awesome way to get to know Lyon early on in our trip! I had never biked in a city before and was a bit nervous, but our guide — Jean — did a great job of explaining how the tour would work and helping us navigate the different parts of town. He provided just the right amount of history to help us understand the city while also keeping the information relevant to the present city. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

We completely understand that biking in a new city can be a bit intimidating at first, and we’re so glad our guide Jean was able to guide you with clarity and confidence. He always aims to strike the right balance between historical insight and present-day relevance, and it’s wonderful to hear that this came through.
Thanks again for the glowing recommendation — it means a lot to us ! 🙏

Cycling is a great way to see a lot about this city within a few hours. Our guide Sherine was well informed and kept us safe during the ride.
The weather was cold and raw which made it a bit unpleasant but we appreciated the overview of Lyon!

Exploring the city on an electric bike was fantastic! Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The food tastings at the end of the trip were excellent, a lovely selection of cheeses and dips.
michelle_f, Jul 2023
My daughter and I did this tour and learned a lot about Lyon. Jeremy was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed him as a guide. We saw most of the city, we really loved the park with the greenhouses and the small zoo. So beautiful. It was nice to stop at a local bar for a glass of wine and some cheese and meat. Great tour, i would definitely do this bike tour. You'll love it!
David_v, Apr 2023
Fantastic e-bike tour. Lots of interesting stories and historical details about Lyon. Entertaining tour guide and great e-bikes.
Saw parts of Lyon not usually included in most walking tours.
Wendy_C, Oct 2022
Our guide David was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. It was raining a bit in the beginning but we didn’t let that stop us and neither should you! We felt very safe, comfortable and enjoyed every moment. The tasting was so wonderfully executed. We felt like part of the family. I highly recommend this tour. The electric bikes were a great way to travel through Lyon and the park and the tasting was the perfect way to wrap up a great adventure.
Tim_B, Sep 2021
Our bike tour was marvelous - a wonderful way to see and learn about Lyon. The e-bikes were a lifesaver going up some of the city's hills, and the knowledge of the city displayed by our tour guide, Oliver, was indispensable. And you can't beat the views of the city and the resulting photos. It was topped off by a light lunch and great Rhone wines. Highly recommended!
Dorothy B, Jun 2019
Guide was excellent and took great care of us. A little scary in traffic but still enjoyed it. Would definietly recommend taking this tour.
isabellevaneijk, May 2019
I gave this tour as a present to my parents and they were very enthusiastic about it. They already went several times to Lyon, but still learned a lot of interesting facts and information by their guide Megane. My parents are in their sixties, but this biking tour is convenient for all ages. They would very much recommend this tour to eveyone staying in Lyon!
Maria_E, Jun 2025
An amazing tour of the city, an excellent and well prepared guide, although it rained we enjoyed it very much, I would take it again
