The experience

The tour starts in the Old Town, where your guide explains how to use the e-bikes and runs through a safety briefing. From there you ride through the narrow streets and squares of Vieux Nice, stopping at Cours Saleya to see the flower market and learn what local food the city is known for. On Mondays the market shifts to antiques, and your guide shares tips on where to eat and what else is worth your time in Nice.

Next comes the Promenade des Anglais, the seafront boulevard where you get your first real cycling stretch on the e-bikes. The route passes Masséna Square (the heart of the city, lined with historical and modern art), and Place Garibaldi, where the guide explains Nice's Italian heritage and why the architecture feels that way. You'll ride past the port, where fishing boats sit alongside yachts, and stop at a hidden beach before the climb begins.

The final part focuses on Mont Boron Hill. The e-bikes do the work on the ascent, so you pedal through nature without fighting the gradient. At the top, the guide points out the viewpoints across Nice and Villefranche, and you get a break with cold refreshments. The roads are mostly flat and smooth until the hill, so the ride suits all fitness levels.
