Itinerary
You will start the tour by pedaling along the canal du midi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
From here, you'll be about to get in the old Toulouse and you'll learn a bit more about the pink city
In St Etienne neighbourhood, we will ride through typical little street, stop by an amazing private mansion to talk about the golden age of Toulouse, and of course we will make a break in the middle of the beautiful St Etienne square to talk about the cathedral and much more :)
A little break here to talk about the former leaders of the pink city "The Capitoul", and "The dungeon" this weird building on one corner of the square.
The biggest square of Toulouse. During your vacation in the pink city you will pass several time through this magnificent square, and you will learn a bit about it with us!!
The second location classified as a UNESCO world heritage site in Toulouse, a must-see !
The second canal we have in Toulouse. You will discover why do we have it here and of course you will enjoy cycling along this piece of nature in the shade of giant plane tree.
Here is the connection with all the canals, and the Garonne river. Off the beaten track, this location is worst the detour.
The peaceful quayside, an amazing overview of the city and the river, some views on stunning building on the other side of the river, welcome on the Garonne river banks.
From here you will be transported in the past, when the area was the most importante harbour.
Do you want to cycle underneath the oldest bridge of Toulouse? Yeah, will do it then :)
We will have to go over the river to get there, and on our way you'll have the possibility to win a nice post-card photo from St Michel bridge. This parc is one of the best place to enjoy a relaxing time, right next to the center, in a green atmosphere by the water.
Another must-see!! You will realize how much money the owner was abble to get from a very profitable business based on a plant during the Renaissance period.

Possibly the greatest way to get a feel of the city. John evidently loves the place and shares his passion with visitors, adapting the tour according to visitors' interests be it history, food or architecture or anything else related to Toulouse. The ride itself is very pleasant thanks to electric bikes, riding along the canal and in the pink streets of the old city is a lovely experience. Disclaimer: John's my uncle but the tour is objectively great
Very good way to visit this city. 3 hours guided tour with comments from Yannick who takes us along the Canal du Midi, the Garonne and the main monuments! This type of visit, fun and informative.
A fine tour on excellent e-bikes. Really a good way ti see Toulouse and hear the history behind The City Rose. And we had John as our tourguide - he was a really pleasant person and he knee everything about the city, and he could tell it in an interesting way. We highly recommend this tour on bike for 3 hours.

Very nice bike ride with Yannick, this activity allows you to visit Toulouse differently. The visit was pleasant even when you are just an occasional cyclist. The information we are given along the way allows us to delve into the history of Toulouse. Yannick takes the time to stop if we have trouble keeping up and comes to you if you have a little trouble with the electric bike controls (a first for me). His explanations were clear and the little corners he showed us were very friendly. I highly recommend this activity. You won't be disappointed.
I had taken this walk in Toulouse by electric bike with Yannick a few years ago. I just did it again with other friends and the enchantment was the same! Everything is perfect. Mustache bikes are excellent. The circuit allows in 17 kms to effortlessly make a beautiful tour of the main historical places of Toulouse. There are many stops and Yannick, who studied architecture, gives at each stop, really interesting and varied information, from the Roman city to the pastel culture in the country of Cocagne, through the martyr of St Saturnin dragged by a bull rue du Taur and of course, the great adventure of Pierre Paul Riquet to realize the Canal du Midi. From the right bank to the left bank, the viewpoints are splendid, we take many alleys, we follow the canals, we discover beautiful squares and the views of the Garonne. Road safety is well ensured, the pace adapted to the customers of the day, in very small groups. My friends were dazzled by this playful discovery of the city, so much more convenient than on foot. One regret: to have only worked 3 hours instead of spending the day there!
Great morning in Toulouse... Perfect condition of the bikes, kindness of Yannick, little traffic due to holidays... Everything was perfect even for me the only toulousaine of the group!!! I've enjoyed places in my city I've never been before... Thanks to Yannick and especially go with your eyes closed
All right! Arriving the day before, this is the first activity we considered doing in Toulouse! Yannick allowed us to discover the Pink City, to find our way around, to learn with all its explanations available to everyone, and also to advise us on places to return to visit more (Basilica St Sernin, the garden of plants....) To do absolutely, you will not regret! Thanks, Yannick.
Very pleasant and informative visit. We didn’t see the time pass! Thanks to Yannick's explanations we were able to discover many neighborhoods of this beautiful city which is very extensive. I particularly enjoyed discovering the small details of downtown architecture, alleyways and the history of some iconic characters.
Extra family walk: for all ages and without fatigue. High quality material, very pleasant guide
