Was a lovely day cycling by the coast and sea! The bikes are really good quality so the hill climbs were easily done and Elena was a great guide!!
Elena, our guide was kind and knowledgeable. She made sure we knew how to work the e bikes. I, nor my 12 and 14 year olds, have never used an E-bike before but it was easy to catch on and made the trip up the hill a breeze. Swimming in the Mediterranean after the climb was magical.
Worth the trip! The water was amazing. Our guides were very helpful and nice. I would recommend for a awesome experience!
We had the best day riding through Calanques National Park! Our guide Elena was amazing. She carefully explained how to use the ebikes and the team at the shop helped get our large group (4 adults and 5 teenage boys) organized and outfitted with bikes and helmets and water. The bikes are in excellent condition and the turbo mode made the steep hills a breeze! Elena was super professional, friendly, and really good at helping us navigate the busy city roads and national park road/trail. We highly recommend EVTT and Elena in particular!
Elena was wonderful. She was a great guide and we loved spending time with her. The views were beautiful!!
The wheels are initially adjusted to the size and a helmet is handed out. Afterwards you will be introduced to the use of the electric drive of mountain bikes. I for one am quite tall (1.98m), which delayed the selection of the helmet and the bike slightly. Then begins the beautiful tour through a national park and green parts of the city. Our group consisted of 10 people (about 26-36 years), which turned out to be a pleasant group size and made the trip pleasant. In between, breaks are made to impart local knowledge of the place/region/flora and fauna. We found this to be very helpful, humorous and informative. So we were able to classify what was seen well. There is a half-hour break to stay in Calanque Sormiou. As a small improvement suggestion, we only noticed the stability of the seat height adjustment. It has repeatedly adjusted due to the rough ride and had to be readjusted manually. Otherwise, it should be mentioned that sportswear facilitates mobility, since the tour is sporty. Water must be brought by yourself. Overall, a really great experience, which we definitely recommend if you like it sporty and want to experience Marseilles surroundings and nature in a different way.
Perfectly organized outing. The bikes were in perfect condition. Watch out for people who lack balance there is quite a difference in level.
Merci Olivia pour ce retour ! Oui les Calanques nous offrent un paysage exceptionnel, pour cela il faut aller voir ce qu'il se trouve derrière la montée :) Les vélos électriques permettent d'y accéder plus facilement. A la prochaine
We traveled through Marseille on bike, to the top of the Calanques. Three hours of pretty intense biking. The e-bikes made it doable. Louis was a great tour guide.
Thank you Scott. Yes it can be intense without assistance because of the climbs but with our Cube e-bikes are making it easy :). See you next time
Terrific ride through rural & urban areas. Great guides, terrific scenery. Altogether great experience
Thank you Joan! Take care Martin
We loved our bike excursion to the Calanques. Martin was a great tour guide, and gave us lots of information about the area as we rode. The scenery was beautiful as we rode, and the Calanques were impressive. A great day!
Thank you for the feedback Very much appreciated! See you Martin
