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!

Great experience! The ride is fairly slow and the e-bikes help a lot so it’s not intense exercise - but is a great way to explore beautiful scenery and get to know the calanques. The host shared some good information and there were several points to stop and enjoy the view. The ride through the pine forest was wonderful as was the vista at the top of the calanque sormiou. Definitely one to try when in Marseille!

We had a very pleasant ride with Franc, our guide. He made sure he explained in details how the e-bike works. Beautiful sceneries on the way and the guide made sure he gave us a bit of history for each place.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. They made sure we were well taken care of and the biking tour was wonderful!!! When tour was over they arranged taxis for our group of 11.

Great way to explore Marseille, our guide Lucie was amazing.
