Happy Customers

“A great way to see the Riviera”

The tour on e-bikes covers a great distance and as it was my first time on an e-bike; it was a great experience! Our guide was very informative and helpful. The e-bikes make it so easy to cover the longer distance. I would highly recommend this tour.

"Good fun and amazing views"

The tour was great fun and our guide helped to make it a fun few hours. The bikes are easy to ride. The scenery was amazing and we passed some interesting spots including Elton John's house. I would thoroughly recommend this tour for the fun and the scenery.
