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…”
