A+ experience. Our tour guide, Maeve, I may be misspelling her name, was incredibly knowledgeable about Lyon’s history and an absolute joy to spend a couple of hours with while touring the city. She made sure we didn’t miss anything, kept the pace comfortable for everyone’s biking speed, and took time for stops along the way to show and explain the city in detail. If you’re visiting Lyon, I would definitely recommend starting your trip with this tour so you can get a better feel for the city and its history. Thank you to the company and to Maeve for such a wonderful experience.

This was such a fun and informative way to be introduced to Lyon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information along the way. So happy we did this on a bike as we covered so much ground. Highly recommend this 💕

Fantastic tour. We are both 60 and found the tour fun, interesting and not difficult to ride. Our guide Sara was lovely and told us fun and interesting information as we rode all around the city. We saw many things we did not know about Lyon so it was well worth it. Also very safe with all the bike lanes. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour and discovered new sides of Lyon. Sarah will be thrilled to know you appreciated her guidance and fun stories. Safety and enjoyment are always our priorities ! We hope to see you again for another visit ! ✨

This was a good way to see around the city of Lyon, which is beautiful but not a lot of commentary as we were riding. Farina and Sara were lovely
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering the beauty of Lyon and that you appreciated Farina and Sara’s kindness. We also take note of your comment about the commentary and will use it to keep improving our tours. Hope to see you again

Lovely bike ride around the city allowing us to see other sites. We especially enjoyed the City park with the zoo and greenhouses. Our guide did a good job explaining the different stops along the way. Even in the hot weather (39°), it was quite nice.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you very much Jamie ! We are thrilled to read that you enjoyed your bike tour even with this hot weather ! We hope to see you again ☀️

Really great way to see the city in full! We did it on our first day in town and it gave a good layout of the city, an opportunity to go to some places (like La Confluence and through the tunnel) that we wouldn’t have otherwise and our tour guide Lilou was really lovely! Very nice and manageable bike ride with good context about the layout of the city (though some more information about the Roman origins of the city and why it grew into what it is today could have been helpful)! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!

Thank you so much! We are gald that you enjoyed the tour. Hope to see you again in Lyon ! ☀️

Andrea did a wonderful job on her first English guided tour in Lyon. This tour was a highlight of our holiday in Europe. We had so much fun! It was about about 10 miles of riding in 3 hours- easy pace with plenty of stops to sightsee and hear some information about the city's history. We would have loved to hear a bit more history or information about buildings in passing but learned some French phrases and restaurant recommendations along the way. We were the only two booked for the tour and extremely grateful the company kept the tour open. Bring water, a snack and an extra layer to add in your bike's basket. Highly recommend if visiting Lyon!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you so much for this review! It was a pleasure for Andrea to do this visit with you, do not hesitate to come back to Lyon during spring or summer to see the city at its best 🌸

Tour guide was great. Went to places I would never know about. Very good explanation of the geography of the city.

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to show you Lyon 🔥

We (3 people) had a wonderful time. The bike ride was lovely and well planned out. We saw more in 3 hours than we would have on our own!
Our guide, Marie, was so enthusiastic and gave great knowledge about the City. She is a gem. Definitely recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for this review! It's great to know that you enjoyed the tour, come back whenever you want, we would be joyful to see you again!

I was only one on your but my guide Edith was excellent. She took me around the city, interesting and entertaining. My highlight was the Tete D'Or, cycling around the park. I recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you ! It was a pleasure to do this tour with you ! Hope to see you again in Lyon ☀️
Christopher_M, Jan 2024
I had a wonderful tour. Despite me being the only person on the tour on a cold rainy wintery day, the guides kindly went ahead and took me on a whirlwind 160 minute bike tour of Lyon. It was a really fantastic way to get my bearings of Lyon whileearning about it's history and getting some exercise. I highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you so much for this kind review! Do not hesitate to come back during spring or summer to see Lyon differently!

Staff were lovely but it was too relaxed and not safe enough. I booked the e-bike and our group joined in with the normal bikes and it was way too big. It was Rugby World Cup time and Lyon streets were very busy. As the guides were in front people at the back were cutting across streets when lights were red and a couple were left behind for awhile and the guides didn’t know. I would suggest groups no larger than 10 and you either need someone on the tail so people obey traffic rules and don’t get left behind or you stop more regularly to check. The tour has great potential.

We loved exploring Parc de la Tête d'Or and Cecille’s fun history facts were so fun to learn along the way!! Thanks for a great experience!
Sheryll_M, Jun 2023
What a wonderful way to see the city landmarks. Both Flora and Joanna were excellent guides with great knowledge and very friendly. Absolutely recommend this trip.
Josh_H, Nov 2022
Great tour around Lyon. Well serviced bikes, interesting schedule and a fantastic guide, Matthew. Highly recommend.
Virginia_S, Sep 2022
The group was too large (19 total) for a tour through the city of Lyon. Furthermore the guide gave the information in English and then in French while we were waiting much of the time. The tour ended in the confluence which was fine but the 6 of us in my group had already walked to the confluence the previous day. She could not adjust the tour because there were 5 others going on the same tour.
The experience would have been much more pleasant and informative if at least the groups were separated into English and French speaking sections with separate guides. It was a very expensive tour for what we got which was just over 2 hours and we had paid for 3 hours.

It’s just a bike ride without much explanation about the history and representations of the buildings

Merci Sylvie d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour. Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre que la visite n’a pas répondu à vos attentes. Notre objectif est de proposer des balades à vélo à la fois agréables et enrichissantes, mêlant découverte de la ville et anecdotes historiques. Il semble que votre expérience n’ait pas reflété cela, et nous le regrettons sincèrement. Nous espérons que vous avez tout de même passé un agréable séjour à Lyon.

An original visit of Lyon that deserves to be lived. Our guide was very competent and friendly. We very much appreciated this formula. Even the rain that accompanied us for three-quarters of the way did not dampen our enthusiasm.

Very nice experience - you can discover several corners of the city, from the park of the golden head to the confluences, passing through several corners of the peninsula. While exercising a little (classic bike tour). Our guide Lea was very knowledgeable and informed us well, both during the visit and to answer our requests on the best suggestions for the time we had to spend in Lyon. Highly recommended.

Merci beaucoup ! Nous transmettrons le message à Lea. Nous espérons que vous avez apprécié votre séjour à Lyon. A bientôt ! ✨
Wendy_P, Jul 2024
Tof om Lyon te verkennen met electrische fiets. We zijn op plaatsen geweest waar we anders nooit te voet na
artoe zouden gegaan zijn. Onze gids heeft leuke weetjes verteld over elke plaats waar we gestopt zijn. Zeker een aanrader!
Advies: goed bij elkaar blijven en een seintje geven als er een fietser achter is gebleven.
