The experience

The tour starts on the Promenade des Anglais, where you meet your guide and get comfortable on the Pedego. A powerful electric bike that handles the steep sections without wearing you out. You'll ride the wide cycle lane through Old Nice toward Rauba Capéu, a waterfront spot with the #ILoveNice sign that's become the city's photo landmark. The guide shares historical and local facts as you move through the streets, stopping at spots like Cours Saleya, the flower market that's now a hub for local food (socca, pissaladière, pan bagnat) and a good place to grab something if you want.

The e-bike's motor makes the climb to Castle Hill manageable. You reach the top and get an open view across the entire city, the bay and the coast. The park itself is nineteen hectares and one of Nice's oldest public gardens, with a man-made waterfall that's been there since the 19th century. From here the route takes you down to the port, where you'll see both luxury yachts and traditional fishing boats called les pointus, then continues to Garibaldi Square and Place Masséna, each with their own architectural details your guide will point out.

The group stays under eight people, which means the pace is personal and the guide can answer questions without rushing. You'll be on the bike for the full 2.5 hours, so a moderate fitness level and comfort with cycling are real requirements. The e-motor helps with hills, but you're still pedaling and balancing. The tour runs in English or French depending on the group, and the operator provides the helmet, raincoat and a basket for your phone or camera.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and French.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What is the #ILoveNice sign and where do you see it on the tour?

Rauba Capéu, a waterfront quay on the route, displays the #ILoveNice sign: a photo spot that overlooks Old Nice and the Bay of Angels. The tour stops here early on so you can take pictures.

Can you ride an e-bike if you've never used one before?

The tour assumes you can ride a regular bike. Knowing how to cycle is mandatory. You'll get comfortable on the Pedego at the start on the Promenade des Anglais before heading into the main route, and the motor does the heavy work on climbs.

How steep is the ride up to Castle Hill?

Castle Hill is the highest point on the tour, but the Pedego's electric motor means you ride effortlessly to the top. The guide will take you up, and once there you'll find stairs to climb for the full panorama, plus a 19-hectare park to explore at your own pace.

What's included in the tour price?

The Pedego e-bike, helmet, raincoat and basket for carrying belongings are all included. Food and drinks are not, though Cours Saleya market is a stop where you can buy local snacks if you want.

Is there a minimum age or fitness requirement?

You must be at least 14 years old and have moderate physical fitness. The tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or anyone with poor cardiovascular health, and you need to be at least 155 cm tall to ride the bike safely.

How many people go on each tour?

The group is limited to eight riders, which keeps the experience personal and lets the guide give more attention to each person on the route.
