# 4h Complete Lyon Experience: E-Bike, Food Tasting & Old Town Walk

**Guidekin's take:** Three formats in one half day: a two hour electric bike loop through the city, a food tasting with a glass of wine or another drink, then a guided walk through Vieux Lyon. Bike and helmet are included, riders need bike skills and a minimum age of twelve, and hotel pickup is not part of it. 4.85 from 252 reviews at €80 per person.

**Bike plus food?:** E-bike loop, a food tasting with a drink and a guided walk of Vieux Lyon in 4h at €80 per person; from four riders, age twelve up. 4.85, 252 reviews. Trade-off: Needs four to run; minimum age twelve. (last checked September 24, 2026)
