It was our first time in Marseille. We took this tour when we first arrived and it was a great way to explore the city. Our guide was very nice as was the rest of the staff at the bike shop. The shop has a small bar that sells drinks, snacks and artisan items. Although this tour includes an electric bike, there are times that require some physical exertion. There are some hills especially towards the end.
This was a very active experience for our family of 6. We had a late start to this tour due to the pickup from the cruise terminal but our actual e-bike guide was very responsive and hospitable. Our grandsons got to take a quick swim at a beach along the bike route which was an unexpected plus for them. One of the bikes was not very operational so the guide switched bikes to eliminate that situation. We saw a lot of this busy city. There was time on the road and time on the designated bike routes. We stopped several times to see some of the sites. This was a fun experience for us on a very hot day at the end of June.
Great Tour, M was awesome navigating the streets of Marseille and was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city.
We had an amazing day going through Marseille on E-Bikes!! My husband is turning 66 and I’m 64. We found it a bit challenging, but we did it! I’m so glad we did! We saw much of the city and got some exercise! Our excursion was a for hour half-day tour in the AM, and I think that is best.
Our overall evaluation of the tour is very positive. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and easy to talk to, which made for an enjoyable experience. My only feedback is that more attention should be given to less experienced riders, with periodic check-ins to ensure everyone is comfortable and keeping up. I would also recommend noting in the tour description that participants should have experience riding in urban environments. Two individuals in our group struggled due to limited familiarity with e-bikes, city riding conditions, and the steep climb to the Basilica.
Henk was our guide on our e-bike tour and he was very thorough in giving us great explanations/history of the places visited. It is a great way to see the city. A little scary maneuvering through some of the streets/traffic, but still great tour!
Highly recommend. This was 3 hours of riding but we got to see everything! The guide (M) was SO knowledgeable. This was the best way to experience Marseille.
Great tour! Super organized with bus pick up to take you to the bikes and back. Stories were great and trip at a good pace. Storage pouch in your bike for your “stuff.” Had some time to self explore/ not too much or too little.
This was a great experience. Best time we’ve had in Marseilles despite the record heat. M was a great guide. Cycling was very safe and we went to some beautiful sites.
Great ride! They sent transportation to pick us up at the cruise port and take us to the bike shop. Louis, our English speaking guide, was awesome. He took us all over the city. We were a party of 6 that had an amazing time. He gave us a guide but also gave us options to stop and have some drinks. We loved it. Highly recommended!!!!
