This was a great way to see the city of Marseille and some of the beautiful sites. The sidecar was perfect for my Mom even with her limited mobility. Eric was an excellent guide and driver and we were well taken care of. We were dropped back at our ship after the tour too. Highly recommended!

Our sidecar tour with Eric from La Belle Echappee far exceeded our expectations. Eric was a great guide who not only took us to wonderful places in Marseille but gave us time to explore certain areas as well. It was a wonderful day, one of the highlights of our vacation.

    We had a great time with...

    We had a great time with Eric and Kevin! Coming in for a cruise stop they provided great communication of meeting point. Riding on the bikes and in the side car was great fun and an amazing way to see the city. Highly recommend this experience!!

    I would do it again!

    The meeting point was a little confusing for me but we found it. The tour guide who drove us was very kind and knowledgeable, he had poncho, blanket, very prepared. He also was a gentleman with helping us get in and out of the sidecar. He gave us a great little off road tour and took us where we wanted to go/see. He also took our photos and WHATSAPP messaged us! Worth the two hours and I would definitely recommend!

    Awesome Experience!

    Wanda_S, Apr 2026
    So fun! Definitely worth it! We covered a lot of area in a short time. Saw a Birds Eye view of the city, went to the southern most point of Marsille, had a little wine and where the Olympics were held along with history of the area. The only sad part is that there was no time to spend in town before we had to go back to the cruise ship. Kevin was an awesome tour guide. Would definitely do this again if we ever pass this way again.

    Wonderful trip around Marseille

    What an amazing and fun way to see Marsielle! Erik was wonderful and very informative along the way. Thank you for sharing your beautiful city with us!

    An Amazing Way to See Marseille

    Jen_D, Mar 2026
    Our sidecar tour of Marseille was completely amazing. I am so glad that we took advantage of this activity on our first day in the city. We went from the Old Port to a city overlook at the Notre-Dame de la Garde to the Parc national des Calanques. Eric and Kevin were incredibly friendly, shared photos and a great amount of insight through wonderful stories. I am in awe of the ground we covered in such a short time!

    Unique experience in Marseille

    Eric was an incredible host. Full of knowledge and took us to some great views of the city, a lot of places were away from the hussle of the city. I highly recommend this private unique experience

    What a great experience....

    Chris_C, Nov 2025
    What a great experience. We traveled to areas of the city we hadn’t even considered. Eric, pointed out areas of interest and gave suggestions for food and drink. Would definitely suggest this experience.

    Once In A Lifetime Experience

    Kerry_C, Nov 2025
    It was an interesting and unique day in Marseilles. We appreciated the driver's unique insight. Anyone can see the sights in a bus or taxi but the experience hits differently on a motorcycle.

    Sidecars for grandparents

    My husband and I took our 20+ year old granddaughters. We rode In sidecars and they rode behind drivers. It was so much fun and ttruely an adventure. We were able to see across the entire city and it was very beautiful and interesting.

    Riding around Marseille...

    Martin_K, Aug 2025
    Riding around Marseille with our drivers Eric & Roger was an absolutely amazing experience. As a party of four we collectively agreed that the sidecar adventure was a once in a lifetime adventure and we had a blast ! Thrilled we chose this excursion and would do it again

    Hello Martin, Thank you for your message. Enjoy your cruise and the pleasure of seeing you again in Provence. Éric

    Great way to see Marseille

    Samantha_S, Jun 2025
    Wonderful experience. We saw sooo much of Marseille that we could not have seen any other way. The “open-air” experience was most refreshing and our guide, Eric, was most accommodating, even waiting for our delayed arrival while others in the group went ahead with the tour. We senior citizens got many stares and thumbs up as my husband rode in the side car and I in the seat behind the driver. What fun!

    Awesome experience!

    Cynthia_L, May 2025
    This was an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations. Kevin provided a very professional, safe and personal tour in a very comfortable motorcycle with sidecar. We would have never seen this part of the world in the same way without this tour. I highly recommend this tour.

    Perfect tour and guide! Most fun tour of our trip’

    Billy_H, Apr 2025
    If you are looking for the perfect tour and guide Eric is the one to choose. During our 14 day Mediterranean cruise this was by far our very favorite! He was so fun, knowledgeable, and knew the perfect places to see. Eric’s sidecar adventure was absolutely amazing !

    Magnificent

    Anne_R, Dec 2023
    Fantastic and wonderful experience with our guide , Kevin. A beautiful clear blue sky day but bitterly cold made no difference to our experience. All cruise ships ( yes you too MSC) should offer this as a shore excursion.

    Great overview of various sections of Marseille

    jtaylor703, Oct 2023
    It was great to see a wide variety of diverse areas in one tour. Particularly enjoyed the time allowed to go inside the Basilica.

    Unique tour

    Lisa_S, Jun 2023
    We had great experience, a unique way to see Marseilles on a vintage sidecar, got some great photos. Maybe a few more stops would have been good, we rode straight past some points of interest. Otherwise, well worth doing!
