Decided at the last minute to hire some bikes, we ride e-bikes at home but there was only one left. We hired two bikes the gentleman who dealt with us was very helpful. We cycled 17 miles the bikes were great and we would highly recommend the bike hire shop.

Bikes Delivered directly to the Port What a great service - arranged with Maria pre-arrival and delivered directly to the port within a few hundred metres of our cruise ship. Pierre was perfectly punctual for delivery and collection, giving helpful guidance about potential routes to take (Maria had also sent an electronic link to local routes). It’s a great option for a short visit to Honfleur beyond the walking options in the city centre. We even managed a visit to an organic cider & Calvados farm less than half an hour’s ride away!

We rented two electric bikes for half a day. The bikes were in excellent condition, and we had no problems at all during the ride. No appointment or advance booking was necessary. We received a very warm welcome and excellent advice! Guided tours are also available. The routes are very well marked. However, be warned: it's hilly! Electric bikes are highly recommended! We wholeheartedly recommend this for exploring the Honfleur and Normandy hinterland. We'll definitely be doing another ride on our next trip to Honfleur!

Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore the region around Honfleur. Excellent service; the owner is very friendly and helpful. We asked for a small luggage bag for each of us, and we received one. Furthermore, the man gave us some tips and background information about the towns we were going to explore by bike.

Fantastic area for cycling and Maria from Honfleur tours was super helpful, friendly and went the extra mile to make sure we had exactly what we needed for a fun and safe day cycling. Cycling along the Seine estuary and under the Normandy bridge was a holiday highlight for our family. Thanks Maria :-)
