# 1 or 2-Hour Pedicab tour of Lyon

**Guidekin's take:** A private electric pedicab ride through the historic districts with a local guide pedalling and narrating from Roman times to the Renaissance, in a one or two hour format. Children under six ride free, the cab is disinfected between visits, and the combined weight of passengers is capped by the operator. 4.95 from 241 reviews at €30 per person.

**Pedicab, private?:** Choose the Old Lyon pedicab option at €30 per person, two to book; Presqu'île and Rhône banks need the extended option. 4.95, 241 reviews. Trade-off: Two to book; weight limit on board. (last checked September 24, 2026)
