6 Cycling Trips for Cruise Passengers You Can Do Before All-Aboard

1.Half Day Tour of Marseille by Electric Bike

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 234 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $89Our pick

Ride Marseille’s busy streets and coastal lanes on an electric bike with guides such as Pauline, Gaby, Melanie, and Eric. Visit Notre Dame de la Garde, the Old Port, Palais du Pharo, Vallon des Auffes, Panier, and Joliette during this four-hour cruise excursion for up to eight riders.

“We were at our pick up location on time but the other customers got there early and they left without us. They did call and returned to pick us up. We enjoyed the scope of the sights we saw. We felt unsafe for most of our time. The tour guide spent very little time explaining how the bikes work and we were not experienced with e-bikes. I would recommend this tour to experienced e-bike riders only.”

She took us to a monastery where we were able to buy delicious cookies from the nuns. I would highly recommend you book this tour with the option for tapas and a drink - it was great to hang out in the piazza eating delicious tapas!”

Our guide, Javi, was very good at telling us where to go, how to handle the e-bikes, and even telling us about all the places. He was also very mice and friendly (considering it was Christmas day). Highly recommend this tour.”
