See the sights of Marseille on your electric bike tour
Your morning or afternoon two hours and a half tour of France’s oldest city departs from Marseille Vieux Port. Meet your local guide and get acquainted with the deluxe electric bike. Fit with a small motor and optional baby seats and trailers, this modern ride allows you and your family to cover a lot of ground with ease.
First, cruise to the Palais du Pharo (Napoleon's Palace), the 18th-century coastal mansion that stands like a sentinel on the entry to the Old Port. Admire the bustling waterway before heading inland to view Notre-Dame de la Garde, a Neo-Byzantine Catholic basilica that rises from Marseille’s highest point, and the Abbey of Saint Victor.
Continue toward Corniche du Président John F Kennedy (Corniche Kennedy) for a leisurely ride along the sun-kissed coastal boulevard. Along the way, pedal past scenes of French life such as locals playing pétanque – favorite game of balls – and fishermen working in the village of Vallon des Auffes and the quaint cove Anse de Malmousque. Stop to snap great photos, get insider tips and learn fascinating anecdotes about Marseille’s long history from your savvy guide. You’ll also have a chance to stop for some lunch or refreshments (own expense).
The three hours and a half tour upgrade includes a trip through the ambient Le Panier neighborhood, the oldest quarter in Marseille. Coast through picturesque lanes and under terraced houses strung with clotheslines. Admire the striking façade of the Marseille Cathedral and the Museum of the Civilisations of Europe and the Mediterranean (MuCEM), a strikingly modern accent on Marseille’s ancient waterfront.
Your leisurely electric bike tour concludes at its starting point in Vieux Port.

Our guide Samir was FANTASTIC! He provided a great overview of the city and took us to off the beaten pack locations. Using the electric bikes made the tour very easy and allowed us to cover alot in a short amount of time. The highlight was getting to the top of mountain to visit the cathedral. Again the bikes made it so much easier. We do alot of bike tours, this was one in our top 3!

Excellent tour, easy to organise, good instructions re meeting, picked up on time. Our guide was excellent, informative, pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed her enthusiasm about her City. As we were the only two on the tour we had a very personal service. We felt we understood a lot more of Marseille as a result

We had a great time learning about the city and riding the electric bikes. It was a great way to see Norte Dame and a good jumping off point to decide what we wanted to go visit for the remainder of the day.
