About this activity
Meet your guide in the morning near the Palais de Justice in central Lyon and hop onto your electric bike to begin your tour. The ideal way to explore with ease, your electric bike allows you to pedal effortlessly through the streets in comfort and style.
Follow your guide through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Lyon — steeped in centuries of history and widely considered to be the culinary capital of France. Cruise along the banks of the Saône and Rhône rivers to the lights and music of the Croix-Rousse tunnel, and keep an eye out for nearby Lyon Cathedral.
Spin past top city attractions such as the famous Place Bellecour and the magnificent Old Town, where many of Lyon’s finest and most historical buildings are found. Admire Parc de la Tête d'Or’s picturesque boating lake and listen as your guide points out lesser known places of interest off the beaten track.
During your tour, hop off your bike and head to Les Halles de Lyon Paul Bocuse — a covered food market considered by many to be the center of Lyon’s vibrant food scene. Wander among the many market stalls with your guide and marvel at the quality and variety of the produce on sale.
Enjoy a food-tasting session in the market, accompanied by a glass of wine or alternative beverage of your choice. Sample local specialities such as runny Galette Lyonnaise cheese, rosette (large pork sausage), cured ham like Jésus de Lyon and sweet treats, and experience Lyon’s world-famous gastronomy for yourself.
After four hours exploring Lyon’s culinary and cultural heritage, head back to your starting point near the Palais de Justice in central Lyon to conclude your tour.

This was an outstanding tour at a very fair price. On our tour day, it rained and the company gave us the option of meeting at the final destination. All but two of our group decided to rough it and ride in the rain. The company provided rain gear and water for the trip. The guides were very knowledgeable and we made several stops to be given the history of the area where we stopped. The market was fantastic! The tasting were well organized even while the market was doing a brisk business. One of the few things that I feel could be improved is a quick lesson on riding a bicycle in Lyon. The city is very bicycle friendly but does have laws specific to cyclists such as traffic signals specifically for cyclists at most intersections. A few of our party were not aware of the signals and ended up in traffic when they should not have. That being said, a little common sense will keep everyone safe. The bikes were a breeze to operate I'm 60 and were no work at all. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Great experience!
The guide was very safety concious and took good care of us. The gourmet part was yummy. Could have spent more time in the market.
Etienne was a great tour guide who calmed my doubts traffic, lack of fitness, etc in the beginning and led us through some gorgeous parts of Lyon, providing historical background on the way at regular stops. The highlight though, was the markets where Eric gave architectural and historical significance of the markets Erienne translated, and then introduced us to the shops and some tastings. Everyone was generous with their time and company. Highly recommended!
The tour guides were great! My husband and I were initially a little uncertain of the electric bikes but we quickly and easily mastered them and we are in our 60s/70s!. The two guides paced the tour perfectly, stopping periodically to talk about the sights and culture of Lyon. We traveled through a wonderful two mile tunnel and had a great time at the Les Halle de Lyon- such a marvelous selection of food! And an interesting history. We are very glad we took the tour - and loved our two guides Elian and Jeremy.
