3.00Unfortunately, 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:(
Great tour worth doing

A Lovely Launch with Lyon Bike Tour

5.00From the start, Lyon Bike Tour was a delightful experience. Because it was our first day in the country, we decided on the 2 hour bike trip. Our guide was Sherrine. She is kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to all cyclists. Sherrine was careful to review safety rules, to ensure we were all together, and she was instrumental in building camaraderie among the riders. Her historical and geographical knowledge was excellent, and she employed humor throughout her presentations. I am 4'10" with my sneakers on. At first, I was apprehensive about booking the tour, in fear that the bikes would not accommodate my height. They assured me when I called that there would be no problem, and they were true to their word. In addition, the bikes are fairly new, in excellent condition, and the seats are super comfortable. This was not a strenuous ride, and traffic was minimal. If you are concerned about traffic, I would encourage you to choose an early weekend time when folks are sleeping off the previous evening. Overall, I highly recommend this tour, and while I am sure all the guides are great, Sherrine made the tour extra special.

5.00Had a wonderful bike tour with our guide, Jeremy. Showed us parts of Lyon that we definitely would not have otherwise seen (e.g. Parc de la Tete D'Or,). And Jeremy was full of knowledge and answered all our questions. Riding the bikes through Lyon was easy and safe (with all the dedicated biking lanes). Definitely worth the time.
Emily was well educated...

5.00Emily was well educated about the area making the tour very good. We loved the tunnel as it was cool as Lyon was experiencing an heat wave.

Great little city tour by bike

5.00Super fun bike tour around the centre of Lyon. You see a lot of tourist sites and enjoy the history behind them. Our guide was proud of the city and passionate about explaining the basis for each site. There is always a little friendly rivalry with other French cities which makes it light. We were able to go to a beautiful park with lots of people enjoying their Saturday. Know that you will be biking within the city where there are bike lanes but also traffic. Be comfortable on a bike and ideally on an e-bike.
