Guide was fantastic, easy to follow. Group was small (3 people). I'd be skeptical about having a much larger group following a single guide. No problems with the route, some times riding in/beside traffic but nothing too extreme

A very enjoyable day!! Picked up at cruise port and dropped off just like promised. Great communication on that. We biked 22 miles total. Some steep hills up and down so thankful for an ebike and good brakes!! Several times we road in the road with traffic so being comfortable on a bike and in this situation should be considered.
Guide was very knowledgeable about area, made sure noone got separated and took us to an authentic bakery to purchase our lunches that we ate by the water at the national park.

Thoroughly enjoyable adventure. Our guide Laurent provided us with a wonderful history of Marseille. Highlights were Notre Dame de le Garde and Calanques National Park. After a quick tutorial we found the E-bikes easy to use. A very lovely day.

Unfortunately, this was not a good excursion. We had one guide for 8 riders, he took the lead and we wove through some pretty intense traffic situations. There was not always a dedicated bike lane and I felt very unsafe at times. The group got separated at traffic lights and local drivers had no patience whatsoever. The guide ran a waiter off the sidewalk at one point and we had to stop so he could make amends. At the first place we stopped we were scolded for taking pictures while he was giving history and it all just felt very unprofessional. We had a chain break on a bike and he couldn’t fix it, though he tried for at least an hour and a half. That seems like a pretty straightforward repair on a bike tour, but whether unprepared or inexperienced he couldn’t get it done, but he refused to just get another bike sent to us. It’s too bad, it could have been a great ride.

Honestly, it was pretty bad. Initially, I was not going to write a review because the operators were pretty nice, but I don’t want anyone else to get stuck with the same experience we had. It was relatively unsafe. Two of the people in our party were injured, and the police came. One of the bicycles broke, and we had to stand on the side of the road for what totaled probably at least an hour in the hot sun. There is no offer of a refund made. It was pretty much a waste of a day. That said, there was some pretty scenery.
