★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 228 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $96

Start near Palais de Justice with an easy electric bike ride through Vieux Lyon, along the Rhône, through Tête d’Or Park, and up to Lyon’s best viewpoints. A food stop includes regional cheese, cured meats, sausage, bread, and a drink, followed by a guided walk through Old Town and its traboules.

“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.”
