“This bike tour of Lyon (with Nate) was excellent. I learnt so much and had a lot of fun cycling through the streets of Lyon and the beautiful botanic gardens. Nate gave great information, was passionate about Lyon and answered all questions. Time and money very well spent! An enjoyable experience overall. Merci beaucoup, Nate!”

“To be clear I'm rating a 2-hour ride without food that the tour operator swapped for the 4 hour ride I booked. Apparently I was the only one so they moved me to another excursion and refunded 1/2 of the cost. Bicycling around Lyon was super - the guide, Pierre, was entertaining and led a nice tour of the city. The bike lane infrastructure is great.. I recommend this tour as a nice introduction to the city.”
Ride Lyon with a local guide on a Bosch-powered e-bike, covering Croix-Rousse, Terreaux, Tête d’Or Park, the cyclist-only tunnel, and Fourvière Hill. Guides such as Nate, Megan, Eric, and Caroline have led lively, history-filled outings. The route is easy for most riders but still covers plenty of ground.
“We were so fortunate to have Naton as our guide! He took us on a comprehensive, entertaining, and educational tour of Lyon. He is the best at his job and gave us the best afternoon possible. After the tour, he took time to chat with us about his recommendations for our remaining time in Lyon, including delicious restaurants to try and fun activities to do. I can assure you that this is a worthwhile experience! My husband is an advanced cyclist and I am very much an amateur, and this tour suited us both very well! Naton (Nate) is the best!”
