Up to the Challenge - This was a great tour and a wonderful snapshot of the city by bike: Saying that, This is not for the faint of heart - I "Assumed" it would be a nice leisurely ride on an electric bike, Great Day? It was, It was - Just understand, there were a couple of hills UP & DOWN and one or two sharp turns - A couple of times I just got off the bike and walked my bike Up or Down said hills and turns (The bike is a bit on the hefty side) Saying that, I'd do this tour again. The staff was great, Pick up & Drop off at the Cruise port was prompt.

A Highlight Of Our Vacation - A 5 star tour!! Cindy was a GREAT guide. She was able to provide as safe and environment as possible when biking around town, gave us a ton of information, and even took pictures of couples throughout our time together. This experience was different than any other excursion we did because it made us feel like we were part of the town rather than visitors touring the city. This was also our first time on e-bikes, and loved how easy it was to get used to the functionality. You'll need to have patience while at the cruise terminal if you're getting picked up as there's a limited number of people going with in each van, and the traffic between the terminal and starting poin can delay the start of your tour. (This was the only drawback we saw.) We decided not to take their transportation back to the terminal so we could spend more time walking around the old port area to have lunch & Pastis. Finding the free shuttle proved harder than explained, but we took a taxi back to the ship for a nominal cost. We highly recommend this trip if you want to be immersed in this ancient city.

Cancelled by fada bikes, and no money back! - After making the reservation, it was cancelled by Fada Bikes. Two days later, I still didn’t get my money back….. I asked several times, now they say it is because of get your guide takes several days. If so, I should have received at least an email confirming the cancellation. As I made the reservation on the site of fada bikes (and received only mails from them regarding the order and a reminder), this is nonsens. Don’t book a tour! Baja Bikes is the same company by the way. No other options in Marseille
