About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- catherinecK6853GE0 contributionsGreat bike rental serviceVery good accommodating service. We hired 2 bikes (including one e-bike) plus accessories for baby and the owner was very helpful, gave great tips and was very flexible. Good value for money. Also spoke English. Would recommend!Written February 11, 2024
- Kbreazeale0 contributionsGreat biking experience through vineyardsIf you are staying in Dijon, this is where you want to rent your bikes. Julian was super helpfully on marking vineyards with tasting on google maps on your phone. Don't miss Philippe Leclerc, really tasty. Easy to navigate backroads, well marked, and Dijon had nice bike lanes/wide streets. Went with 2 adults and 2 teenagers, all had fun. When you get to Nuits-Saint Georges (about 16 miles) it is easy to take a train back to dijon for about $10 (one teenager had enough biking).Written October 15, 2023
- Lanai12340 contributionsFantastic bike rental experienceJulian is so helpful and friendly. We were just renting bikes, but he had great suggestions for our trip. We would definitely try a tour next time if he was the guide :)Written May 14, 2023
- thorn1330 contributionsA nice rideIt was very nice and special to bike through the vineyards and small villages. The guide was nice and fun and knowledgeable. The tasting was a couple of bottles and some cheese the guide had with him. I think an actual visit and tasting at a winery would make this tour much more specialWritten August 24, 2022
- ecadwall50 contributionsIncredible Customer ServiceJulian is so amazing! I had sent a request to rent a bike for the afternoon, so I could bike the Route des Grand Crus and go to a wine tasting. He had a private tour starting in the morning and couldn't return until the afternoon, so he opened the shop a whole hour EARLIER than normal so I could make sure I got my bike. THANK GOODNESS too. I did not anticipate how long would be out (biking from Dijon to Vosne Romanee for wine geek / casual biker took a lot longer than I expected. Highly recommend this experience btw.) He also held the shop OPEN until I got back at 5, and showed me some great recommendations for my next few days in Beaune. Incredible value for what you get. I'm sure the tours are just as amazing. Highly recommend using La Velo Vie. Thank you!Written August 23, 2022
- Istvan P0 contributionsKind Guides and Stunning ViewsOur guided tour was canceled due to Covid but the organizer still rented us bikes. He was so so so nice. He gave us recommendations as to routes as well as finding apps to help us travel the area. Really cannot emphasize enough how kind the guide was. I am not much of a bike rider but I still had a great time and the views of the Bugundy region were stunning. Made me forget how much my butt hurt. He gave us a phone holder and app recommendations for guidance through the area. It was an experience I will never forget.Written July 19, 2022
- Tessaca0 contributionsGentle cycle through the vinesA lovely way to spend time riding through the vines and tasting local wine, cheese, ham and kir. A very relaxed cycle with French and English commentary from Julien about the area. Starting outside the town away from traffic and easy to get to by bus or tram.Written July 9, 2022
- eteplinsky810 contributionsAn amazing must-do Burgundy experience!We had such a wonderful experience touring the vineyards close to Dijon with Julian. He’s kind, jolly and very patient. We booked a private tour and brought our little dog and he was so understanding and helpful with our little guy. The scenery is beautiful and Julian gives you very helpful explanations of the different villages and wine origins and production. The tasting was also excellent and so relaxing in a shady spot after working up a sweat. Touring with Julian makes you feel like you’re enjoying a trip with a friend. I would highly recommend this experience!Written June 15, 2022
- 재민 장0 contributionsWinery Bike Tour3 hours fantastic tour with a great guide. It is a great experience I will never forget. I highly recommend this tour.Written October 17, 2019
- Simona C0 contributionsGreat blend of scenery and vineJulian was informative and amusing and attentive to the varying needs of the group members. The routes were beautiful and had almost no traffic, so it was easy to admire the scenery and talk with the others. We also enjoyed the wine sampling. We highly recommend this activity and would love to do it again ourselves. We did not have a car but it was easy to get to the meeting spot by taking the T2 tram from the city and then walking 5 minutes.Written August 22, 2019
- KLJ720 contributionsLovely ride through the vineyardsA gentle bike ride starting in Chenove and travelling through the local vineyards. Julian was an excellent guide, he was friendly, very informative and happy to chat and answer our questions. Would definitely recommend!Written August 14, 2019
- Sue L0 contributionsHalf day Bike tour with JulianWhat a wonderful experience and great value for money! Julian our Tour Guide was very good at communicating through emaila and texts. A very kind and knowledgeable Guide who made the tour very enjoyable. I would recommend this tour!Written August 13, 2019
- Daniel F0 contributionsWonderful bike rideJulian, our guide, has been very helpful and responsive from the very beginning of the booking process, answering my emails promptly. The bike ride starts at Chenove (need to take the bus or tram from Dijon) and Julian took the group through the beautiful vineyards of Burgundy. The ride wasn't difficult but if you're like me and haven't ridden a bike in a long time, you can expect your bottom to hurt quite a bit afterwards...He brought some wines for us to taste but don't expect an actual wine tasting experience. It's probably not a good idea to drink and bike anyway. But the bike tour itself is well worth the price. Definitely recommended.Written August 4, 2019
- 169helend0 contributionsJulian is a perfect tour guideAs previous participants have said, Julian makes this tour extra enjoyable! He was engaging, friendly, knowledgeable and keen to converse - his English was exceptional. The tour is a delightful way to spend a morning in a beautiful part of the world. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this. (It’s real value for money). Go and enjoy!Written August 3, 2019
- ChrisLong9030 contributionsGreat morning riding through the vineyardsJulian is very friendly and shares lots of interesting facts about the vineyards of Burgundy including Kir made from his grandfather’s home made Crème de cassis.Written July 9, 2019

My Mum and I did this tour with Martin. Our original booking was cancelled due to thunderstorms and there was prompt and polite communication from Julian and it was easy to re-book for the next day.
We ended up on a tour with a group of young men. Although, Mum could not cycle as fast as them, Martin always made sure to circle back and tell us both about the surrounding vineyards. He was friendly and inclusive.
We really enjoyed seeing this lovely countryside and would definitely recommend Julian and Martin.

Very scenic bike tour through the vignes of Chenôve, Marsannay, Fixin, Brochon and Gevrey Gembretin. Perfect tour during harvest time and a professional and cheerful guide. Thank you, Julian!

I have not done trip but have booked and paid for it. Keeps saying booking pending. What does that mean? It's tomorrow morning! If it's not on I need to know so I can make alternative plans and how do I get my money back!

Great experience riding through the countryside of the region. Although you do not stop at vineyards for tastings, you cycle through the vineyards and small villages of the area. Your guide, Julian, is wonderful and welcoming! He brought wines from the region to taste at a scenic stop. Recommend as an afternoon activity if in the area!

Nice bike ride of 20 km through the vineyards and small villages, with stops in between and the occasional tough climb. Bikes in moderate condition because the gears did not all work well.

Hi, I notice that the tours always start at 9am each day. Hoping there is an afternoon option as we are only in Dijon overnight and need to leave early the following morning.

I haven’t heard back from this company, my ride is still pending, but I’ve paid. They give a 24 hour cancellation, but if no one signs up or if weather is bad, do they refund? How long does it take to hear back?
