It's better to think of it as a bike rental rather than a bike tour; not only is there no guide (which we knew coming in, but is easy to miss), the provided route doesn't show much of the city. It's just a ride down the main city road until you get to the coast, where you ride along pretty beaches before turning around and coming back the way you came. We were expecting something that would take us to more landmarks around Ajaccio.
The bikes themselves are more uncomfortable and unforgiving than other e-bikes I've seen (they just feel like normal mediocre-quality bikes with pedal assist tacked on). This made the beginning part of the route along the main city road even more challenging; the combination of the narrow busy street, our lack of experience, and the difficulty of the bikes meant that it took us almost an hour to get to the coast. After that, we were too burnt out from the stress of getting there and the discomfort of the bikes to go very far along before turning back around.
Probably a fun experience for people who bike more consistently and are more comfortable biking in an urban environment to get through the beginning portion. If you're just lazy tourists like we were, though, there are better ways to see the city.
