I really enjoyed exploring the Park de la Tete via e-bike. The guide was knowledgeable and ensured that all riders were accounted for throughout the ride. The park was beautiful and we had plenty of opportunities to stop for pictures, information on the surroundings, and to explore the botanical greenhouse. I highly recommend taking an electric bike. They are a fun option that takes off the stress of keeping up. Plus, it makes the ride easier if you haven't biked in awhile. Definitely a must of you have some free time.

The bike tour to park d'Or was truly Unforgettable. It comes with a word of caution: the city of Lyon is a large and busy place. The bicycle access is excellent as the tour is on dedicated bike Lanes along busy City streets. These bike Lanes are extremely well used by people seemingly always in a rush. There are on grade Street Crossings with signals which appear to be advisory in Lyon. This tour should not be scheduled during City rush hours and should be attempted only by people with electric bike experience in an urban area. The tour guide was very helpful as this is not a narrated tour but with schedule stops to point out the interesting and scenic aspects of the city. The park is almost a small Central Park with Arboretum zoo and monuments as well as a small lake.
We are new to e-bike and our tour guide gave us clear instructions about how to function it. She gave good introduction to the iconic places and the history of them. We really enjoyed it and if you are wanting to give a try on the e-bike, I would recommend this.
The tour was great the tour guide mawva was great we had a lot of fun the tour guide perfectly explained in French and english
This tour is amazing! There are so many additional stops and charming aspects to it than can be listed on the description. Prepared to be joyfully surprised! Our guide, Romane, was incredible! She provided a bilingual tour for our group of French and English speakers, which we enjoyed because it gave us an opportunity to work on our French a little as we listened in, and it also allowed each group to take photos while the other group was hearing all of the fascinating information that she shared. Romane was wonderful about answering questions and keeping the tour interesting and fun. She is truly delightful. My daughters and I loved the tour! Highly recommend.
Great bike ride and tour. Got to see lots of the city throughout the tour. Long stretches of just biking with short stops for information and time to take pictures.
Le Park de Tête, learning about the city square and surrounding buildings/monuments. Our guide, Lauryn’s love for Lyon was infectious. She was enthusiastic and very considerate to our needs. We lucked in to sunny skies and only 3 people on our tour.
Excellent experience- would do again. Great value, experienced team! We did the 2 hour ride to the park and learned a lot on the way.
Visited Lyon for the weekend with my boyfriend and took part in this tour. It was an easy bike ride and a great way to see Lyon in a short space of time. Friendly tour guide aswell and informative. Good value for money- would recommend!
Good tour through Lyon with a nice guide
In a word, perfect 👍 freedom, cheerfulness, originality.
Walk safely with our kind guide Andrea. We drove on the bike path or in the park for almost the entire visit. Some stops to see landmarks specific to Lyon.
Very suitable bike path, walk between Rhone and Saône, Lea at the top, humorous and jovial, I recommend this visit
Visite générale de la ville et des principaux points d'intérêts. Correspondant très sympa. Merci pour cette balade.
Good experience, beautiful discovery. Nice visit in Lyon by Segway. Thanks to the guides. I recommend.
Very nice experience, very attentive accompanist, I recommend this mode of discovery of Lyon Driving is easier than it looks
Segway too complicated to handle by me, but cycling was great. Nice itinerary and friendly explanations! Thank you!
It was very cool. Super nice Tatiana and looks like Maggie in Walking Dead to those who have the reference. She speaks very good French despite her Brazilian accent and she explains very well the history of some monuments of Lyon. TOP!!!
Great experience. Nice to visit a city this way. The bikes are really good and it is very easy to climb the hills with the assistance. In addition, it allows you to discover points of view not specifically included in the guides. Our guide Luce was really super nice and very informative.Little point that could be improved, for the price paid a small bottle of water could be offered 😉👍.
We were fortunate to be guided by Luce, both competent and caring. Our visit was very pleasant. The hour and a half passed very quickly and made us want to renew and offer the experience. Thank you very much. Geneviève L.
Exciting activity in a magical setting that are the Rhone and Saone. Very easy and very affordable, we discovered Lyon differently. Our guide was very friendly. Recommended!!
