Excellent Tour With Great Insights on History and Significant Sights!

We had an amazing time on this bike tour. Our guide (Zoe) did an outstanding job weaving in historical and significant sight information. The bike tour was fun and energizing. We had ample number of stops to soak in the scenery, take pics and learn more about Lyon history. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lyon for the first time as it is a great way to acclimate to the City and learn and see it’s fabulous sights! The price is very fair for the tour!

This was a quick overview...

This was a quick overview of Vieux Lyon. Our guide Nicholas was very knowledgeable of the area. He also was good at keeping track of all the riders in our group. No one was left behind ;) The only recommendation is for them to have a couple of XL helmets available for those with big brains. Other than that, all 3 of us would give this a 5 out of 5

Operator response

We're thrilled you enjoyed your ride through Lyon and that everyone kept up with the group : no one left behind is always the goal! 😄 Our guides take great care of every rider, and we're glad that came through. We also take note of your helmet suggestion and will definitely look into adding some XL options for our big-brained visitors!

The guide was very...

The guide was very knowledgeable and the bikes worked well. I enjoyed the park and river path. We did ride slowly and missed seeing the mural which was supposed to be the last stop. They didn’t have helmets for small adults either.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the park and the river path, and that the bikes were a good fit for the ride. We always do our best to adapt to the pace and needs of the group, though unfortunately this can sometimes mean that a stop can gets left out along the way. Our guides make every effort to fit in as much as possible within the time. We also take note of your comment regarding helmets for smaller adults and will do our best to improve on this. 😊 And if you'd like to keep a little piece of Lyon with you, feel free to follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lyonbiketour/ 🚴 We hope to see you back in Lyon soon!

No faith in Viator

Unfortunately, after our Viator audio guides were rejected by the Notre Dame, we assumed the same would occur with our Lyon e-bike tours, so we didn’t attend. They then called me to ask if we were still planning on doing the e-bike tour, but by then we were too far away from the rendezvous to make it:(
