Our host Cindy was great! We had the most relaxed day cycling through the parks of Marseille! The bikes are great for cruising, you barely have to pedal if you don't wish to. Which means you can concentrate on taking in the scenery. Plenty of space to take belongings with you on the bike. Lots of fun!

Beautiful views all the way. This is my first time in Marseille and I definitely recommend this tour - you’ll see a lot in the city and continue along the coastline. We had a choice of swimming in the sea or lunch in a restaurant - I chose to swim which was nicely refreshing.

This bike tour is not for the faint of heart, however, it allowed us to see some of the most beautiful parts of Marseilles up close, so I’d highly recommend it! I’m a pretty fearful/anxious biker, but felt totally fine on the busy streets (of which we learned Marseilles is trying to make more bike friendly). Swimming in an incredibly beautiful Calanques was certainly the highlight. Pierre was awesome about answering all our questions and keeping us moving, too. Book this tour!
