3.4h Complete Lyon Experience: E-Bike, Food Tasting & Old Town Walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 228 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Ride an electric bike from central Lyon along the Saône and Rhône, through Tête d’Or Park, past Place Bellecour and Croix-Rousse, then stop for regional cheese, cold cuts, and a drink. Finish with a guided walk through Vieux Lyon, its traboules, Renaissance streets, and cathedral views. The route is in English and limited to 10 people.

“I always like to get oriented in a new city with a guided tour. E-bikes obviously give you a wider range and this was a great choice for starting our visit to Lyon. There are two and four hour options. If you do the two you cut off the snack stop and the climb to the Notre Dame Basilica. I am glad we did the four hours but know that most of the real value is in the first two hours. The food tasting is only on the four hours and it is not a food tour: just a stop for sausages, pickles, bread and a drink. For some reason…”

He provided just the right amount of history to help us understand the city while also keeping the information relevant to the present city. We can’t recommend this tour enough!”

“This tour is so much fun! Our guide, Vincent, was so knowledgeable and patient with everyone. You could really feel his pride in his city of Lyon. You will see things on this tour that you won’t see by taking the bus tour. We biked into secret alleyways and observation points with magnificent views. I can’t say enough good things. Definitely recommend this tour, definitely recommend Vincent as your guide, definitely recommend the tasting of charcuterie and wine! It’s very fun and even the uphill part of the trip is not so bad with the electric bike! Our bikes were all brand new which I thought was such an added…”

8.The Grand Bike Tour of Lyon – 3h

Ride an electric bike across Lyon with a local guide, covering Vieux Lyon, the Saône, Croix-Rousse, Tête d’Or Park, Bellecour, the Rhône, and Confluence. Guides including Sarah, Lilou, Marie, Andrea, and Edith lead an easy-paced tour with stops for city views, local stories, and practical orientation.

“Really great way to see the city in full! We did it on our first day in town and it gave a good layout of the city, an opportunity to go to some places (like La Confluence and through the tunnel) that we wouldn’t have otherwise and our tour guide Lilou was really lovely! Very nice and manageable bike ride with good context about the layout of the city (though some more information about the Roman origins of the city and why it grew into what it is today could have been helpful)! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!”
