6.Ebike seaside by Nice: Fantastic Villefranche’s Bay & Hill

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 24 reviews · 5 hours · from $104

Ride an electric bike from Nice’s Place Garibaldi to Villefranche-sur-Mer with a local guide such as Samuel or Carmela.

Private groups may add Cap Ferrat, Villa Rothschild, Villa Kerylos, or water activities.

“Super fun day, nice mix of exercise and historical tour. We considered just renting bikes but so happy we went with a guide as we would not have known where to go, what we were looking at, etc. As an outfit, these guys were really solid. Helmets are optional, but I recommend them. The route involves navigating some traffic, so just a heads up. Villlegranche-Sur-Mer and Cap-Ferrat are amazing and a must see from Nice.”
