3.4h Complete Lyon Experience: E-Bike, Food Tasting & Old Town Walk

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

“An amazing way to see Lyon, our guide explained the history, significant events and stories, and took us through a beautiful garden park outside the main city area. The tasting at the end was the icing on the cake where we got to try some special flavored wine, and various cuts of meat and bread. A great way to start the day, and definitely inspiring to return for a longer stay one day!”
