Our two families of nine had a great time with Elena. She took great care, stopped with us as I needed and took us to some amazing sites.
Nice with our bike ride. The staff is friendly, welcoming, Leader. They love their job technically and in relation to each other. Bicycles on top.
Friendly welcome Unfortunately if the park is closed you will not be able to see the coves. They still offer an alternative route but do not reimburse a pity...
Very good course. Perfectly mastered by our guide, Martin. Safety, diversity of the route and knowledge of the places.
Incredibly fun time in the Calanques National Park traversing the limestone hills on our e-bikes and then ending with a swim in the Mediterranean! Our tour guide was fantastic; he was so friendly and ensured each of us on the tour had a great time! I would 100% recommend doing this tour if you’re holidaying in Marseille!!
It was a really nice trip for the whole family. We enjoyed the fabulous bikes, the gorgeous coastline and the visit to church Notre Dame in Marseilles. Thanks Nicolas, for bringing us to those beautiful places and also thanks for the interesting insights!
Great tour! Cecil was an excellent guide: friendly, informative & enthusiastic. He provided clear and useful instructions about the bikes, repeating as necessary to ensure safety. The route was really interesting and the stop at Sormiou Beach was excellent.
We had a really great tour! It was so much fun to ride on an e-bike, it was very easy and convenient. The landscape was beautiful and the guide supported with little tricks and tipps. We also had a Stopp to take a swim at a beautiful little beach. It was an amazing experience and we would recommend the tour 100%. The staff was extremely friendly although we had some booking issues (it was our fault), thanks again for being so flexible.
I had an amazing time. If you want to see the beautiful scenery that Marseille has to offer, DO THIS. Just make sure your comfortable on a bike. I had never used an e bike before but will the helpful instruction of the guide, I was able to get used to it. There are some parts of the tour where it can get a bit more adventurous because the terrain is a bit rougher. Just be confident in yourself and the equipment and you’ll be fine! Also maybe bring a snack and for ire bring water. Bring a BATHINGSUIT
We enjoyed this mountain biking experience a lot. The scenery is beautiful. Our guide was very helpful and accommodating. He brought us to some spectacular sites and took pictures of our family at a couple scenic spots. Highly recommend this activity.
