Exact pick up time will be sent to you a least 3 days before tour. Please wait down your ship your guide will meet you there. At the end, you will have choice to stay and spend time in the city then take a free shuttle back to ship or take our free shuttle van that will go back to the ship later in the afternoon (return time will be given at the end of the tour).
When your cruise ship docks in Marseille, meet your guide at the cruise terminal. Then, transfer to the Marseille port and hop onto your electric bicycle to begin your cycling tour.

Spin through the city streets and take in top attractions including the Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations, the old port, and the Palais du Pharo—built in 1858 by Napoleon III. Explore the Vallon des Auffes—a traditional port outside the city—and listen as your guide sheds light on Marseille’s rich history.

Cycle along the Corniche Kennedy—widely considered among the most beautiful roads in Marseille—and stop along the way for panoramic coastal views. With your electric bike to help with the hills, you need much less peddle power to get around.

Visit the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica and gaze out over the rooftops of Marseille from your vantage point on the high hillside. Then, delve into diverse neighborhoods including the historic Panier district and the newer Joliette district—once an industrial hub.

When your cycling tour comes to an end, drop your bike off and return to the cruise terminal to conclude your ride.

Best Day Ever… E-biking up the mountain and down to the sea with Marie
Glen_K
, May 2022
WOW, this was one of the BEST tours my wife and i have been on. We were a little nervous since this was our first time on an electric bike. Our tour guide Marie was absolutely WONDERFUL. Marie is very knowledgeable, friendly and speaks english very well. Our French, not so good. Marie took us throughout the city visiting many memorable sites. We will be story telling with all our family and friends about the GREAT time we had on this tour. Marie, Thank You for an experience that will bring smiles to our faces every time we think about you.

hello all our guides are locals and speak english, sometimes with a strong french accent. If you don't like french accent, please do not travel to France. If you don't like foreign accents, do not travel at all.

Wow! What a great day! We were picked up at our cruise ship right at the exit. Very easy! Drove to the bike pickup where we started our tour with Stephan. The bikes were easy to learn and so much fun. Stephan spoke perfect English and was very entertaining. Highly recommend FADA tours and Stephan our tour guide. Would not hesitate to book again! Thank you for an amazing day!

Outstanding day on bikes
Jean_B
, Oct 2021
We were met at our cruise ship by a cheery fellow eager for us to have a good time. The ride was as promised and we saw so many sights not readily available to a casual walking tour. The bikes were in good condition. The guide, Stephan was delightful. It was exciting, pleasant, just active enough, and the e-bike made it easy to visit sites on the hills, and navigate narrow winding streets. Biking is not particularly easy, but the community gives way and with care the ride is worth the effort.

Despite a little confusion as to the pick up point at the cruise dock, we managed to meet our guide for the day, Valentino. After getting to our starting point, having a safety review and a quick lesson in operating the bikes we were off. Valentino took us to some amazing locations where he gave us local histories and time to view the surroundings and take photos. One stop was at Vallon des Auffes, a great little fishing port. We stopped for lunch at a very nice seaside café prior to the climb to the Notre Dame de la Garde basilica where we watched military helicopters do training over the port. Valentino is a fantastic guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Marseille, Very friendly, patient, kind, with some great stories. Thank you Valentino for a great day.

Don't be afraid, just do it! Super nice family owned company with great guides. This was our first electric bike use and tour ever and it was awesome! We were on a cruise ship, I booked it thru Viator and they met us at our port and brought us to the bikes, gave us instructions, helmets and our small group of 8 followed our guide all over it was awesome!

Our guide, Ezekiel, was fantastic. The intro to riding an e-bike was quick, and we headed off on a citywide 15 mile bike ride. Wow- the bikes were great for the hills, we saw wonderful beautiful sites, and had a great tour. Ezekiel was a fantastic guide. I recommend this tour for everyone who wants a different touring experience. Thanks Ezekiel !!!

Being on these electric bikes enabled us to see a large portion of the city in a small amount of time. The bikes were easy to ride and the guide was both informative and fun. With only one day to see the city I can't imagine a better way to do it.

We were able to cover so much ground and see so much, including tucked away beaches and all the major sights. Our guide, Ian, did a good job keeping us all together and telling us history and background of the sights. Operating the bikes was simple and fun for all including our kids, 11 and 13. Getting started on a couple of the steep hills was a little challenging for our daughter but Ian was patient and helpful.

This bike excursion requires that you are fit and very comfortable navigating a bicycle moving at significant speed (with the help of your battery!) around the city, up and down hills and along city roads. If you are, you will love it!! Wear your helmet that they provide. One of our favorite excursions!!

Went on this electric bike tour with our group of six adults of various ages! Met by our wonderful guide Valentino at the port, short mini bus to bikes, then a guided tour of Marseille, with stops at all the site seeing stops with a full explanation by Valentino and time to explore and take photographs at all stops, electric bikes easy to use and covered a large area of Marseille, stopped for refreshments at a patisserie, rode along the coast, even made it up tthe hill to Nortre Dame, Valentino was a professional, fun and friendly guide and made this trip most enjoyable, we would definitely recommend this trip!
