Excellent tour and highly recommended. Very friendly owners and staff. Super accommodating, not stressful, excellent guide who balanced well the ride and history. English was well spoken by all staff. We were with our 13 year old boy and 8 year old girl, they got appropriate bikes and were very comfortable. A great way to begin your stay in Paris. Enjoy!

Toby was a great group...

Katie_D, Apr 2026
Toby was a great group leader. He really knows a lot about French History. It was so fun to be on a bike in the city. I felt safe at all times. The only thing I would say is that our stops at the sites were a little long. I thought we were going to see the Arc d Triump up close and the famous Champs elise but we only saw from the distance. That was the only disappointing thing. Otherwise I'd highly recommend Toby.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for your thoughtful and balanced review! We’re really glad to hear you had a fun and safe experience exploring Paris by bike, and that Toby’s knowledge of French history made the tour engaging—he’ll definitely appreciate your kind words. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the stops and the distance from some landmarks. It’s helpful for us as we continue to fine-tune the route and pacing of the tour. We aim to strike the right balance between storytelling, comfort, and covering key sights, and your input is valuable in that process. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride in the future 🚲

Amazing day in Paris! 🚲🇫🇷

Katherine_T, Apr 2026
Seeing Paris by bike is a great way to cover a lot of ground and get some good exercise! Oleg was a great tour guide and gave us lots of background on the historical stops along the tour, as well as local recommendations. He also took some great photos of us as well as all of the groups on the tour. Super fun time! The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained, and Oleg made sure to keep the group safe riding through the streets and on the trails of Paris. 10/10 would recommend.

Toby On Fire!

In Paris on Honeymoon with my wife! Toby lead the tour, he was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and made the tour very enjoyable. Covered around 7 miles on the bike stopping off at many of Paris special attractions. Will recommend to anyone staying in Paris, child friendly too. Top marks Toby!

Don’t miss Paris bike tour. Rain or shine.

erin_b, Dec 2025
Dave was a great tour guide. He provided lots of information, answered questions, gave good instructions on biking in Paris and took lots of group photos. He was easy to understand and really told the stories for each of the places we visited. The ride is easy and made seeing lots of things in a shorter time a good way to get around. Dave was attentive to each person in the group making sure we were safe and together. He also offered personal suggestions and answered questions for each group. We wish we could have bought their T-shirt’s but they didn’t have our sizes. Highly recommend

Best Bike Tour

Annie was our guide and made everything so fun and informative. My two teenagers weren't overly excited about going and it ended up being their favorite part of our entire vacation!

The best Day

Chris_P, Nov 2025
Very relaxing, enjoyable and informative. Would recommended it to any who can ride a bike. Andrea was great.

Around 8 miles, easy with a lot of French history. Guide was great and spoke perfect English since he likewise is a California native.

Tour guide Nick from Versailles tour is great

Kimberly_R, Sep 2025
We did a bike tour to Versailles and our tour guide, Nick, is amazing! He had great stories and waited for everybody. Nick took account of everyone’s needs and had great recommendations! Definitely must do the Versailles bike/palace tour!

Great Experience - Loved It !

Natalie_S, Sep 2025
Great way to discover Paris with an expert. Staff were all great, especially our guide Amir. Loved it! Could have done longer than 3 hours.

Fun and room for improvement

Andrew_S, Sep 2025
Would recommend smaller group. We were a group 12 and it was challnging to cross intersections and listen into the group leader. Great way to see some sights in the city, fun leader, comfortable bikes

Great Guide!

Brian_F, Sep 2025
Rory did a great job! He made it interesting and fun. The bike ride was an easy way to see the highlights of Paris.

Biking excursion in Paris to typical popular sites.

sharlene_w, Sep 2025
There are not helmets provided. Too many bikers per excursion. Our guide was pleasant and we stayed on time. Some good information but no fun details.

A beautiful way to spend an Autumn morning in Paris

Suzanne_G, Sep 2025
One of the most enjoyable tours we have ever taken. Milan our guide was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and humorous. Felt safe at all times while negotiating the Parisian traffic. A beautiful way to spend a morning in Paris.

Awesome tour

Nicholette_P, Sep 2025
The bikes were comfortable and the tour was an easy way to get around the city with a local guide. Highly recommend.

American tour for Americans hosted by Americans.

Michael_D, Aug 2025
It’s a good itinerary but the tour is quite slow with too many bikers per group (~15) making it cumbersome. The message and delivery of the tour guide could also be tighter to make the tour end on time (it did not end on time).

Exceptional

Alisha_B, Aug 2025
Wonderful experience. Best of all the tours we took in Paris. Hit all the major attractions with really interesting history along the way!

Quickest Way to See A Lot of Paris in a Short Time

Aaron_S, Aug 2025
This bicycle tour was well done. The sites we saw were well planned out, and although you will bike for the 3 hours, there are plenty of breaks and stops in the shade. Would be best to do on a cool or overcast day, which we did not have. It was sunny and hot. So bring with you a refillable water bottle, a hat, and put on sunscreen during the summer months. But you will see all the major attractions, so this is good for people who are just arriving for the first time to Paris to see a lot and get their bearings on a section of the city.

Waste of money.

Megan_H, Aug 2025
Waste of money. This “tour” involved a guide walking us to the Eiffel tour ticket que line and then buying tickets for us. We could have done it ourselves and saved hundreds. There was no tour or information given about the Eiffel Tower. Do not use this company.

Best of Paris on bike

Nicole_S, Aug 2025
I just had the most enjoyable experience in Paris!! It’s my third time here, but it was the first time doing this bike tour, and I’m in love with it! Fabian was our guide, explaining in a really fun way all about the history of iconic Paris places! I’d definitely do it again on my next time in here! Even that I know how to ride a bike I was a bit concerned about traffic, but it was all very easy and well guided! And the last and most important, Cheers for his parents whom did a calculation of which how many pans you need to build the Eiffel tower, a very important data that only if you are luck enough to do the tour with him you can figure it out! Hahahaha cheers again! Loved!
