One of the best - Samuel was a great guide. I was a semi pro rider in the 90s and the tour was fantastic. Great pace throughout and he made us lunch

Scenic daylong bike tour - My husband and I enjoyed a beautiful day and tour with Samuel as our guide. This is such a great way to see the area surrounding Nice and to Eze. The ride is 6-7 hours so stamina is needed but there were plenty of stops and scenic vistas. Local snacks from the market were provided when we stopped to picnic. Make sure to get a bike well suited to you power wise which I did from the start and Samuel made sure my husband did by the end (thanks to some bike swapping by the crew). Thanks for a memorable day on the Côte d’Azur!

So much fun with Sebastian! - My husband, two teenagers, and I all had quite an adventure with Sebastian. As it was just the four of us, we had the opportunity to pick our own stops and decide what to see. I wish I could say I remember it all. . .
Lots of opportunities to climb the hills of Nice and Villefranche Sur Mer in order to see all the beauty of the Riviera, followed by meandering around Cap Ferrat. We clearly saw it all.
We would highly recommend this tour with Sebastian!

Must do in Nice - Great way to see nice and the surrounding areas! Must do if you are only in nice for a short period as see so much and the guide was fantastic st giving the history of spots along the route, as well as recommendations for other worthwhile places to visits.
Also provided a midday local lunch which was a very welcome picnic.
The route was quite hilly so very thankful for the battery power on the bikes!

One of our top experiences in Europe! - This really was a highlight of our trip to Europe this spring. At first, we were second guessing not choosing the shorter, 3 hour tour that most of the other people there seemed to have chosen. We ended up being so glad we had the longer tour - it allowed us to go up to the Grand Corniche, go on a beautiful hike at one of the stops to a glorious vista, drop down to both Eze and Ville Franche for a quick coffee, and ride along a segment that was used during the 2020 Tour de France. Our guide, Samuel, was best-in-class - made sure we were safe, provided wonderful history, and provided us a wonderful picnic lunch (sandwich/focaccia). We covered 30 miles/48 kilometers - was not a problem on the bike, and there was some big hills we just crushed without issue :)
5 stars all around - go for it! Do bring a windbreaker - it can get chilly on the downhills.
