Holland and Frank are impressive
TioMichael, Dec 2024
We didn’t go on the bike tour but rented the high quality Holland brand. So many cities have the standard rental bikes that are not good touring bikes but the Holland made the ride more enjoyable. We hired the standard gazelle and the e-bike. I must say how impressed we were with Frank who was very knowledgeable and flexible for our needs. He made sure we were outfitted with helmets and gave us all the information for touring Lyon, including his Kamoot tour route. I will look forward to another ride with Hollland!

Bike friendly city & cool tour guide

We were a small group and our guide was very cool. Lyon is very bike friendly (some occasional cobblestone streets) and it was a very nice experience to be able to go from one place to another so conveniently!

THE best Lyon guided tour
682familyw, Dec 2024
Very warm welcome by Frank and the two guides, all bikes in prefect condition and all well explained by Frank, very flexible and supportive!
He even organised the sunshine for our tour, at arrival it was raining.
A great experience to better discover Lyon by bike, this special and beautiful city has a lot to offer.
We had the privilege of two guides, both well prepared and well informed about the broad outlines concerning urban developments to the minute details concerning the years.
A winner and afterwards enjoy the gastronomy!

Sarah, our tour operator, was fantastic, very knowledgeable and good company for 2.5 hours. We saw everything we would want to see via push bike in Lyon. Our hire bikes were easy to ride too!

Pertecte bike tour

Beautiful trip on very good bikes through wonderful Lyon. Very rewarding. If the guide knew a little more special facts, the tour would get 5 stars.

Bedankt voor je beoordeling van onze tour. Onze tour bevat inderdaad een algemene presentatie van de stad met ook wat unieke geschiedenis. Dat gezegd hebbende, kunnen we zeker werken aan meer interessante feiten als onderdeel van de belangrijkste gespreksonderwerpen als we streven naar perfectie. Fijne dag 😊🚲
