Very nice time sharing with our guide Maeva. Lyon is a very beautiful city built intelligently. A real treat. First time on an electric bike was great.
A+ experience. Our tour guide, Maeve, I may be misspelling her name, was incredibly knowledgeable about Lyon’s history and an absolute joy to spend a couple of hours with while touring the city. She made sure we didn’t miss anything, kept the pace comfortable for everyone’s biking speed, and took time for stops along the way to show and explain the city in detail. If you’re visiting Lyon, I would definitely recommend starting your trip with this tour so you can get a better feel for the city and its history. Thank you to the company and to Maeve for such a wonderful experience.
The 3 hour bike tour was amazing! The tour guide was very friendly and informative. Well with it!!
We had an excellent bike tour around Lyon. Lyon is very bike friendly and it was a great opportunity to see such a large area of the city. We biked 22 kilometers and got some great exercise too. Our tour guide (Maive - sp??) was knowledgeable on the sites and history of the city and she was very careful and made sure we were always safe. I would highly recommend a bike tour if you find yourself in Lyon.

Maëva will be very happy to hear your kind words! We’re glad you felt safe and had a great time discovering so much of the city on this bike tour of Lyon. 🚴♀️✨
This was such a fun and informative way to be introduced to Lyon. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of information along the way. So happy we did this on a bike as we covered so much ground. Highly recommend this 💕
Thank you for your feedback! It's always a pleasure to know that you had a great time with us. Now you know Lyon perfectly, and we are delighted to have contributed to that!
Fantastic tour. We are both 60 and found the tour fun, interesting and not difficult to ride. Our guide Sara was lovely and told us fun and interesting information as we rode all around the city. We saw many things we did not know about Lyon so it was well worth it. Also very safe with all the bike lanes. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour and discovered new sides of Lyon. Sarah will be thrilled to know you appreciated her guidance and fun stories. Safety and enjoyment are always our priorities ! We hope to see you again for another visit ! ✨
This was a good way to see around the city of Lyon, which is beautiful but not a lot of commentary as we were riding. Farina and Sara were lovely
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering the beauty of Lyon and that you appreciated Farina and Sara’s kindness. We also take note of your comment about the commentary and will use it to keep improving our tours. Hope to see you again
We got to see a lot of areas of Lyon we didn’t expect to see on our trip. The park was quite amazing worth going back to if we had time. The rides along the river were peaceful.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad you enjoyed discovering Lyon’s hidden spots and the peaceful ride along the rivers. Hope to see you again on your next visit! 🚴♂️
It’s just a bike ride without much explanation about the history and representations of the buildings
Merci Sylvie d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre retour. Nous sommes désolés d’apprendre que la visite n’a pas répondu à vos attentes. Notre objectif est de proposer des balades à vélo à la fois agréables et enrichissantes, mêlant découverte de la ville et anecdotes historiques. Il semble que votre expérience n’ait pas reflété cela, et nous le regrettons sincèrement. Nous espérons que vous avez tout de même passé un agréable séjour à Lyon.
An original visit of Lyon that deserves to be lived. Our guide was very competent and friendly. We very much appreciated this formula. Even the rain that accompanied us for three-quarters of the way did not dampen our enthusiasm.
Un grand merci pour votre superbe commentaire ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la visite malgré la pluie ! Votre enthousiasme et votre bonne humeur nous touchent beaucoup. Nous ne manquerons pas de transmettre vos compliments à votre guide, qui sera très heureuse de savoir que vous avez passé un bon moment à découvrir Lyon à vélo. Au plaisir de vous revoir bientôt pour une prochaine balade — cette fois sous le soleil ! ☀️
