“The e-bike tour was great! Emmanuel was our guide and she was super knowledge, friendly and patient. I highly recommend this tour - the bikes have baskets so you can bring a small bag/water.

Traffic is a bit chaotic at times, to me personally, but overall the tour was very safe and fun.”

She was from the area and gave us a great idea of what Lyon is all about historically and culturally, and she did it in a very fun and interesting way. And the places she chose to take us for tastings were fabulous! We tried different delicious sausages/meats, cheeses, desserts, and ice cream, among other things, and most of these were paired with some kind of wine that was very nice, too. I’m writing this weeks after the fact, but I wanted to…”
