Tour Lyon by e-bike
Covers a decent amount of Lyon and the guide was both informative, spoke English well and had a good sense of humour. The bikes are in good condition however the interior of the helmets show signs of age which were dry, cracked material that was slightly uncomfortable. The tour started on time but we were surprised that a practice run was not offered. Thankfully everyone (group of 7) were reasonably good cyclists.

Another successful cycle tour in Lyon...
An absolutely great bike tour through Lyon – and this was already the second time we’d been on it! Our guide Nate was really friendly, warm and charming, and he captivated us with lots of interesting facts and fascinating stories. We particularly loved the enthusiasm and passion with which he introduced us to his home city of Lyon. The tour was varied, entertaining and, once again, great fun. We’d do it again in a heartbeat and can wholeheartedly recommend it.
