Review of Paris’s small-group electric bike or Segway tour, covering sights, safety, price, guides, practical limits, and who should book.
“From skeptic to super fans. We did our first Segway tour in Greece and despite our previous belief that Segway tours were absolutely dorky we have now seen the light and discovered that it’s the most fun way to cover a lot of territory. I now want to do a Segway tour in every city I visit. Even without the historical descriptions it’s my favorite thing to do. Riding these things is not only way easier than I imagined but it also brings out the child in you and is 1000% worth every penny! Thanks to our wonderful tour guide and his lovely apprentice for a great day!”
Review of Saint-Émilion’s small-group e-bike wine tour from Bordeaux, with chateau tastings, picnic lunch, village time, and practical tips.
“We were a little disappointed at first that the rain made biking in St Emilion impossible. Yev our guide was so positive and brought his knowledge and tireless energy to our day of touring that we focused on all the things we could experience rather than not being able to bike. We began walking the cobblestone streets and hearing historical tidbits and appreciating the beautiful architecture. We visited 2 chateaus, tasted delicious wines and even visited an ancient cave. Our last activity was visiting a wine merchant for more tastings. We had the best day ever and highly recommend this tour, our guide Yev and Rustic Vines!!!!”

“I showed up at the meeting location and there was no one there. I asked and asked others in the area if they could help me locate the tour. Nobody else could see a tour. I showed them the email with the meeting location and everyone said I was in the right place. I want my money back!!! There was no tour! I am furious.”

Ride an e-bike through Saint-Émilion vineyards, tour two châteaux, taste five wines, and enjoy a French lunch from Bordeaux.
“Regis was a wonderful host and tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour so fun and informative. E-bike is the way to best explore this region. The picnic lunch and wine tasting at Chateau Cote de Baleau was very nice and the wines were good. I would suggest for the tour company to consider skipping the organic winery and replace with a Pomerol tasting, for better contrast for guests. Regis was able to sneak us in to a cave for an additional tasting in Saint Emilion, which was truly appreciated.”
See Marseille by e-bike, from Notre-Dame de la Garde to Le Panier, with coastal views, local stories, and practical tips.
“Great tour of Marseille, through all the little back streets and local spots. Very fun bike ride. Wonderful spots for photos and lovely patisserie choice for a snack. The bike riding is fairly manageable with the e-bike, even up the big hill to Notre Dame, but you want to be comfortable bike riding in and out traffic and small spots.”

“We had a great experience on this cycling tour. There was a very large group of us doing the tour so we were split into 2 groups of about 8-9 each. Our bikes were all set up in the shop then off we went. Our guide made sure to check up on everyone, assigning one of the more confident tour members to remain at the back to account for everyone while he drifted back and forth, giving directions when needed at the front then checking on everyone along the way. We had plenty of stops for applying more suncream and filling up water bottles at the various water fountains in…”
