Hotel pickup comes with the two and three hour options only; all fees are in the price. 4.9 from 217 reviews at €50 per person. In our comparison: #3 of 8 in Bike, E-Bike & Segway Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview What sets our pedicab tour apart is the blend of intimacy, flexibility, and dynamism. Unlike traditional tours, our private pedicab experience allows you to explore Lyon's charming streets, hidden gems, and renowned landmarks more intimately. With the ability to navigate narrower lanes and access areas off the beaten path, you're guaranteed a tour that goes beyond the ordinary. Our tour is not just about sightseeing; it's about immersing yourself in the life of Lyon. It's dynamic, allowing for spontaneous stops and detours based on your curiosity. Want to take a closer look at the stunning murals, or perhaps a surprise visit to a local artisan's shop? Our flexible itinerary makes it possible. In a reduced timeframe, our pedicab tour covers more ground than any walking tour could, without sacrificing depth for breadth. This means you get to see and experience more of Lyon's magic, history, and culture in a way that's both efficient and deeply engaging. ## Before you book - Hotel pickup: from 41 pickup points - Min. 2 to book: not for solo travellers - 7 start times: between 08:00 and 14:00 **Pickup:** Hotel pickup from 41 pickup points ## Key facts - Price: from €50 per person for the 1hDiscover Lyon: Day Pedicab option; other options up to €150 - Duration: 1h–3h - Rating: 4.9/5 from 217 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Unique Tours Lyon - Minimum booking: 2 travellers at this price - Group: Private tour, your party only - Guide languages: German, English, French, Spanish - Start times: 08:00, 08:30, 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.9 from 217 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 211 of 217. - 5 stars: 205 (94%) - 4 stars: 6 (3%) - 3 stars: 4 (2%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (1%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers value the flexible routes and knowledgeable guides; commentary can be hard to hear over traffic and wind. **Praised:** - Knowledgeable guides explain Lyon's history and architecture - Routes tailored to personal interests and places already visited - Broad city coverage with less walking, appreciated by visitors with mobility limits - Visits to passages and other places reviewers say they would not find alone - Practical recommendations that help visitors plan the rest of their stay **Complaints:** - Commentary can be hard to hear over traffic and wind - Conflicting pickup arrangements can cause confusion before the tour Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2023-05-12 to 2026-09-23); last checked 2026-10-07. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | 1hDiscover Lyon: Day Pedicab | €50 / person (for 2+ people) | English, German, French, Spanish | Guided Tour Duration: 1 hour: 1h tour Historic Tour in Vieux Lyon Pedicab, Velo Taxi | | 2h Discover Lyon: Day Pedicab | €100 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, German, French, English | Pedicab Vieux Lyon Guided Tour Duration: 2 hours: 2- hours tour Pedicab Pickup included | | 2'5hPedicab+Wine Tasting | €150 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, German, French, English | Wine Tasting Pickup included | | 3hDiscoverLyon with Breakfast | €150 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish, French, English | Historical & Gastronomic Tour Duration: 3 hours Typical Lyon Breakfast: Breakfast included at legendary Grand Café dès Negociants on the heart of Presqu'île.
