★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 352 reviews · 2 hours to 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $42Our pick

Ride from Vieux Port through Marseille’s historic center, up to Notre-Dame de la Garde, and along the Corniche with a local English-speaking guide such as Jordan, Louis, Rafael, or Gaby. The electric bike handles the hills, while regular stops reveal harbor views, small fishing coves, Le Panier, and the city’s best photo spots.

“Jordan was our tour guide and he did an excellent job! He was very knowledgeable with the history of Marseille. As a person who doesn’t exercise, hesitated on going, I actually enjoyed the 3hr bike ride. The rest of our crew were very nice and glad we met them. It’s definitely a thing to do so you can go back and decide on what other things you would like to focus on seeing and doing during the remaining of your stay.”

“We had a great experience on this cycling tour. There was a very large group of us doing the tour so we were split into 2 groups of about 8-9 each. Our bikes were all set up in the shop then off we went. Our guide made sure to check up on everyone, assigning one of the more confident tour members to remain at the back to account for everyone while he drifted back and forth, giving directions when needed at the front then checking on everyone along the way. We had plenty of stops for applying more suncream and filling up water bottles at the various water fountains in…”
