Travelling through Paris on a bike gives you taste of what it’s like to be a native Parisian. It was very exhilarating riding along the roads and bike paths. Tess our guide was a so friendly and a true professional. The route we took through Marais and the Latin Quarter really gave me a good feeling for the city and it’s history. I always felt safe and could’ve kept riding around all day! Travelling on the bicycle was a great way to experience Paris, I highly recommend it.

We enjoyed the bike ride a lot with our two teens. Overall felt safe on the bikes, learned a lot about French history and saw some really cool places. Wish we had more time to do another tour of a different area. Ryan was our guide and he was really informative.

We had a great bike tour with a guide from Le cafe peloton. The guide ( I am sorry I do not remember his name) was great and made sure everyone was safe.

The hidden parts of Paris bike tour was so much fun! We saw parts of the city we would have never seen, and we learned a lot from the tour guide. He had a ton of interesting stories to share. We would definitely recommend this tour!

Rachel_H, Nov 2025
This experience was absolutely perfect!! Simon was amazing at his job, had us all laughing and really made the history lessons interesting!! I was nervous to tour alone but I felt so comfortable and safe on this tour. The streets are breathtaking and this tour was a perfect way to see back
Streets of Paris. I have a great time and I highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a laid back way to spend a morning in Paris.

We loved this bike tour! Our safety was of paramount concern to our guide. And he was a wonderful guide! Our riding pace was just right, and we felt very safe on the side streets we traveled. We'd been to Paris several times, but we saw sites we hadn't seen on previous visits. The next day, we returned to tour the inside of the mosque we hadn't known was there and also revisited the garden. Our guide recommended several great spots for lunch, and our crepe was delicious. I don't have enough good things to say about this tour!
David_R, Oct 2025
Great a trip and relaxed cycling around those areas you wouldn't normally see. the guide was knowledgeable and very good.
Sara_R, Oct 2025
Marley was an amazing guide! She’s a masterful funny historian who made the tour engaging. Highly recommend this activity!
Maddie_H, Oct 2025
We had the most amazing guide, Hannah, whom told us so many fun facts and history about the city. I saw some new things and revisited some familiar places. I loved how safe I felt on the bikes, and the ease of getting around. Would definitely book this trip again!
Kristine_H, Sep 2025
Great way to see the non-touristy parts of Paris if you don't have a lot of time. The ride starts and stops at a cute coffee shop. Marley was a great tour guide and combined history with a lhumor. Would recommend 100%.

Fantastic Experience discovering unknown part of Paris Never visited. Very good investment. Guide was Well prepared and emotionally able to involve the participants to the place stories. Very high level of english so for foreign people that are not prepared can be a problem to understand.
Irma_B, Sep 2025
It was very surprising to discover these spots and to hear the interesting stories. Especially about the Monastery in Quartier Latin of the Moslims and Jewish people.
Ryan did a very good job .
Jennifer_S, Sep 2025
This was SUCH a great way to spend my morning. Our tour guide was funny and SO insightful about the history of France and the areas we were touring. It was a very easy ride (I was concerned it'd be hilly and lots of traffic) and I really enjoyed getting around NOT by foot! I wish I had done this earlier in my trip - our tour guide had lots of recommendations for things to do with our time and restaurants/etc. that I wish I had the time to do!
Brian_D, Sep 2025
Great guide. Very friendly and personable. Fun tour with great stories. The ride was easy and engaging. Great way to get away from the crowds.
Gina_G, Sep 2025
It’s very relaxed, don’t have to be a seasoned cyclist to participate. We saw areas of Paris we would not have ventured into by ourselves. Cedric our guide was excellent.
Tina_W, Sep 2025
This was an amazing tour. Simon took us through the streets in Paris that most tourists do not get to experience.
lisa_n, Aug 2025
Lots of fun .. new discoveries await you. The ride was only moderately taxing due to a couple of hills. Do it.
Eugenia_V, Aug 2025
Great bike ride through areas of Paris that we would not have normally ventured to. Our guide Jude was super knowledgeable and kept our group of 10 together while we biked at a leisurely pace. Felt very safe biking through the streets of Paris with him. Highly recommend!
Robert_F, Aug 2025
I highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Jude was an amazing storyteller and was super sweet and respectful.
Nancy_s, Aug 2025
The bike tour didn’t hit all the highlights that were mentioned! The tour was to last between 3 - 3 1/2 hours. Ours lasted 2 hrs and 20 minutes. We missed out on a few important points that would have been nice to have seen and take photos. Our tour guide, Sedrick, was nice and informative on the spots we did see.
Beth_H, Aug 2025
This is a treasure tour not to be missed! I have travelled to Paris three times and this tour was a "find" for my first time in this beautiful city. So much so, I booked it again the next two visits! I have had Ryan as a tour guide the last time here and on our current visit- and he is incredible. He has lots of knowledge of the city, its history, the personalities of the Paris 'fameux'- and of course- lovely insights into the neighbourhood in which we are "rolling"! Ryan was a wonderful storyteller- and inclusive of everyone in the group. His perspective was unique and the time with him was easily spent! Thank you, Viator- and Ryan for this perfect experience. Looking forward to my fourth bike tour- and will definitely reccommend to friends!!
Susan_H, Aug 2025
Very fun and informative tour! Our guide was funny and knowledgeable! Very exceptional We would highly recommend!
Jaco_d, Aug 2025
Got to see various sites with a very knowledgeable guide. Some of which were off the beaten path and very interesting
Linda_S, Aug 2025
This is one of the top tours we did in Paris. It combined a nice ride through the less traveled streets. We saw sights we would never have seen and learned so much history. We went on a Sunday when streets were closed in certain areas making it even better.
Larry_C, Aug 2025
very personable guide. Fun to explore the local neighborhoods. Anecdotes and historical tidbits, galore
Bravo, Simon
Audrey_O, Jul 2025
My family of 5 had a great time on this bike tour. The biking was easy, only one little hill or 2. We saw some neighborhoods in Paris we wouldn’t have otherwise seen and got some fun/interesting tidbits of French history from our really fun guide Ryan. He also gave us great restaurant recommendations at the end.
Kay_R, Jul 2025
It was safe, interesting, easy to ride, and fun. Guide was engaged and knowledgeable. Stops made were unique. A great activity. It was part of a once in a lifetime vacation for us and my 11 year old called out this activity as the best part!
Sorcha_S, Jul 2025
Great tour. Covered so much ground in parts of the city that we had not seen. Our guide Mara was very knowledgeable and friendly. Our children are from 16 to 8 years old and it was suitable for all of them.
Would recommend
Karin_K, Jul 2025
Really great experience! Simon the tour guide was lots of fun and very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend!
Grace_S, Jul 2025
Excellent! Highly recommend! I learned so much, super engaging and funny! Simon was a blast! I thought I would be exhausted at the end of three hours, but it was so well paced with several stops and even on a hot day it was an excellent afternoon activity! My daughter was nervous of the Paris traffic but quickly got over that fear with our guide’s guidance and leadership.
