Fantastic experience! We had a smaller group led by our wonderful guide Pierre. The tour was super fun, Pierre was engaging, friendly and very enthusiastic with telling us about Marseille’s history and landmarks whenever we stopped to look at things. The cycling wasn’t really challenging at all! There are some steep uphills but you barely feel it with the bicycle’s assisted pedalling. Marseille has dedicated bicycle paths, but take note you’ll be cycling quite close to traffic sometimes. We saw parts of Marseille that we never would have on our own if we hadn’t booked this tour, easily the best part of our trip. Absolutely recommend booking this for anyone visiting Marseille, beautiful city!

our guide, Florence, made the tour an unforgettable experience. She explained all issues with a deep knowledge and in an interesting way. she had an excellent English. She was very attentive to our questions and wishes. the tour was well organized, has good balance between the the visiting time and the ride to them. the car was comfortable and suited the number of passengers.

Our tour guide Florence was very informative and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. She was excellent. The sites were also good, you’ll get to see a lot outside of Marseille that are maybe hard to get to without a car. The only downside was our tour was on a rainy day so we couldn’t tour the site where we did the wine tasting.

This is the best tour hands down! Abdu was such an awesome guide! Segways are extremely easy to drive, it becomes second nature in just a few minutes. If you like adventure, personalized guide and visiting most of Maresille’s landmarks in a couple of hours you cannot miss this tour!

Very cool museum. Recommend full day as it is huge!
