We booked an Ebike tour which was changed by the local.provider. The tour we ended up on was shorter (3 hours) but still had all the panoramic views and stunning stops. Our guide Cyril was so knowledgeable, and very kind. He provided us with so much information and made the experience even better. The bikes were easy to use and despite the local inclines, easy to manage. The only downside was the bike shop owner was late. While we waited, our guide Cyril provided us with alot of Nice history. I would highly recommend a bike tour with Nice Creative and request Cyril!
I will not write a specific review I have given my rating which was excellent
Our tour was in early May off of a cruise that docked in Villefranche. We took a short Uber ride to the bike shop. Samuel was more than helpful before the tour to communicate options during the day of the tour. The lunch was delicious and the place we stopped to get the sandwiches had multiple food options. Samuel kept the pace of the tour tailored to our smaller group. He is easy going and provides as much detail as we were interested in. Bring multiple layers because the temperature at 3000 feet is cooler than down in Nice.
Cyril was a wonderful guide! We covered a lot of territory on our e-bikes, more than I would have imagined. You should be comfortable Riding a bike along busy roads. The e-bikes we used were great!
Thank you so much for your kind review! Nice Creative Tours — and especially Cyril, your guide that day — really appreciate your words. We always do our best to adapt the ride to everyone’s rhythm and interests, so I’m very glad you enjoyed exploring the Côte d’Azur on two wheels! We do our best to avoid as much as we can busy roads — there are only about 2–3 km where we have to share road with traffic before to go on the highest scenic road where the traffic is very low there is a bike lane (we’re still waiting for local authorities to add more bike lanes!). We’d be delighted to welcome you again to discover even more of Nice, the Riviera, and the hidden gems of our hinterland. Warm regards, Nice Creative Tours Team
Breathtaking views from several points all the way up to Eze and beyond to viewpoints of Monaco. We saw ruins, got pastries and picked up lunch in beautiful La Turibe, then a picnic at a remote viewpoint. We spent sometime in the lovely Eze castle. Our guide Samual was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and made sure everyone was doing ok. You should be aware that there are some challenging areas to ride through but if you take your time to navigate it will be fine.
Thank you so much for your kind review! All Nice Creative Tours team really appreciate it, and especially me, being your guide that day as I try to adapt to every one's needs and interests We are very proud to enhance this sporty ride French Riviera Grand Panoramic a not-very-turistic places like La Turbie and scenic roads (and more touristic like Eze) and mountains with plenty of beauty and breathtaking panoramic points :-) We will be happy to see you again and show you more treasures of Nice, the French Riviera or about hidden gems of our hinterland. Best regards, Samuel
great tour…we covered alot of ground. the hilks/mountains are very steep…even if you are fit…its challenging…if you are not…reconsider taking this. We saw EZE, La Turbie (amazing) and passed by Villefranche. Nice picnic lunch. Samuel is very kind. My only complaint is that we left at 9:30 ..we were told we would have lunch at 12:30 but didnt eat until after 2:00. Also the tour was supposed to end at 3:30 but didnt end until after 5:30. A bit more attention to timing and planning ahead would have made this tour better.
Dear guest, Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback — we appreciate you took the time to share your experience. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the ride, the views, and our visits to Eze and La Turbie — they really are some of the highlights of the Riviera! You’re absolutely right about the timing that day, and I sincerely apologize for the longer-than-expected schedule. A few factors contributed — one of our riders needed a bit more time on the steep climbs (they can be quite challenging, even with e-bikes!), the bakery where we stop for lunch had an unusually long line, and I also decided to spend some extra time exploring La Turbie and maybe to much time in explaining. It’s such a remarkable village, and after the effort of getting up there, it felt a pity not to fully enjoy it — though I completely understand how this extended the day more than planned. Your feedback is very helpful, and I’ll make sure to manage timing more carefully in the future so that everyone can enjoy the experience without feeling rushed or delayed. Thank you again for joining the tour and for your kind words about my guiding — it was a real pleasure riding with you. I hope to welcome you again on another adventure in the Riviera! Warm regards, Samuel
Of the four tours we did in the Nice area this was our favorite. We covered so much territory and saw so many wonderful places. The views are stunning and the biking is easy and a great way to get around. Using bikes on these roads adds an element of adventure and excitement vs. just sitting in buses and vans. Our tour guide, Siri, was fantastic. He is very proud of this area and passionate about sharing it. He will keep you safe and take appropriate risks with the biking so as to cover a lot of ground. We were all experienced bikers so he didn't spend a lot of time up front on safety and using the bikes so we got started right away. The place we stopped for lunch was as beautiful a view as you ever find anywhere in the world and you can trust me on this because I have seen most of it. Book it and enjoy it!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed this Grand Panoramic e-bike adventure with Cyril — he’ll be so happy to read your words! Riding an e-bike really is the best way to experience the Riviera: you get all the scents, the sea breeze, the panoramic views — and you can stop absolutely anywhere to take it all in (something no minivan can do 😉). We’re delighted this was your favorite tour in Nice, and we hope to welcome you again soon for another ride full of beauty, adventure, and a few well-earned photo stops! Warm regards, Nice Creative Tours Team
Be ready for a challenging bike ride. Carmella did a great job pacing us, was very knowledgeable, and made the day fun.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! S happy you loved the Grand Panoramic e-bike adventure — it’s a bit of a challenge at times, but the spectacular panoramic views are the best reward! The sea breeze, the scents, and the scenery make it all worthwhile. We hope to welcome you again soon for another ride full of beauty and good vibes! Warm regards, Nice Creative Tours Team
Yes the views are spectacular but you are cycling up 2000 feet from the sea at Nice to the mountain village of Eze. The ebikes are pedal assist no propeltion it's a hard climb if your not in top shape - just be warned
Thank you very much for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry if the ride turned out to be tougher than expected. You’re absolutely right — the climb from Nice up to Èze and La Turbie is quite a challenge, even with pedal-assist e-bikes! And more during the hottest season... We do our best to make this clear in every tour description, where we mention the elevation gain and recommend the tour for sporty or active riders. That said, we’re really glad you enjoyed the spectacular views — they do make all that pedaling worthwhile! Warm regards, Nice Creative Tours Team
Sam was an exceptional guide and our family had the most memorable day riding along the French Riviera on the E-Bikes. So glad we made this part of our trip.
