Eva was a wonderful host and the bikes were fantastic - was not too tiring and is a really great day 1 activity in Marseille. Would recommend!

We absolutely loved this experience. Our guide Lucy was fabulous. She was a wealth of information and had great passion for Marseilles. The weather was perfect and the views were unforgettable. We highly recommend this experience.

Peg_H

Loved this tour. This was our 2nd best tour of our whole 10 day trip. Our butts were a bit sore after, but the views, the breeze, the exercise, the tour guide were all great! Be warned, the bikes are electric, but you do have to pedal and if not used to a bike, it may be difficult for you to get up hills (of which there were MANY). Got to see so much! Would definitely do again.

Our guide Fabienne was excellent. Her descriptions and route through Marseille was very enjoyable. Calanque was beautiful and it was a wonderful way to spend a full day seeing the city and nature around it. Lunch was great from a bakery cafe but we did have to find somewhere different to use the washroom. My only suggestion is to stop at a few more places to take photos as we biked quickly by some monuments and spots on the waterfront that I thought would have been good to photograph. I liked that she gave us a choice of which way to return from Calanque. My husband's e-bike functioned very well. However, there was a problem with my e-bike because it was too powerful on low gears and so underpowered on high gears that I could not go up the last steep part of the road to Notre Dame. It also stuck between gears. I told the person in the bike shop but he didn't think anything was wrong but clearly there was. He apologized but it definitely put a damper on the tour for me.

This was a fantastic tour! Picked us up right in front of the ship and brought us back on time. The bikes were great, fast and comfy seats for a long ride. This was a full day adventure with gorgeous views and a little off road riding. Never a dull moment and super fun. Feel like we saw it all with Stephan. Highly reccomend!

Lisa_M

Great ride for 6 hrs bike look funny but are brilliant both city and beach this is the one to go on

Stephen_T

It was so nice. Our guide Stephan was very knowledgeable and took us all the way through the city and then to the southern shore of Marseille. The climb to the Notre Dame church is 7/10 difficult climb with the help of the electric bike. The food was excellent.

The only problem I had was that Lucy our guide had a strong accent and I didn’t always understand her.

gdhn

Delightful informative guide. Saw a lot of coast to the Calanque . Would still recommend ride but they were clearly overstretched. 13 in a group is too many, not enough helmets for all. Multiple other groups had headed out before us. Most bikes did not have paniers. Toilet stops we’re poorly organized and unclean. Maybe if we were a smaller group we would move more quickly and could do cafe coffee stops.
