Great fun highly recommend
Nicholas was great! He picked us up at the cruise port and drove us to the bike shop where we saddled up and took us and another couple on the National Park Tour. WAYYYYYY better than the Urban bike tour. Our three hour bike tour took us to some amazing places with amazing views of the coast of Marseille. I'm not an avid biker, but the E-bike made me like Wonder-Woman. I was climbing hills like a champ and LOVED it!!! Nicholas then took us to Old Town Marseille and dropped us there so we could explore the area before heading to our ship. MUST do this excursion if you are in Marseille.
I found this tour a little scary, immediately we launched into city traffic without much introduction to the bikes. If you are an adventurous cyclist who doesn't mind crazy rush hour traffic then it is fine.
Just fantastic. Would recommend for experience riders however who are used to city traffic. There is a good climb up to the church so you do needs some riding fitness even though it's assisted. You also have to be very aware of the direction that traffic is coming from. If you are used to driving and riding a bike on the right hand side of the road this will not worry you but being from Australia where we drive and ride on the left hand side of the road it was something we had to remain switched on for. Traffic wasn't too bad as it was the winter time but in the summer when it's much busier you would need your wits about you. That being said local drivers did appear to be used to tours of bike riders so were pretty good to us. Our guide was fabulous picking us up from the cruise port. He then took us through instruction in how to ride the electric bikes, provided helmets and the route we took was really good. So much to see and we absolutely loved it.
