Everything about this tour was just great! It was our first morning in Paris. We were very fortunate to have a beautiful day. The meeting place was easy to go to via Uber. The staff was super nice and accommodating. The gearing was easy and fast. Our guide was alex. He was safety first and had a fun and cool take on all the historical sites we visited and a true historian…napoleons tomb, the louvre, the Eiffel Tower and a few other places. It wasn’t too long a ride and it wasn’t too short. We had a blast! Met cool fun people and fams. We would absolutely do it again!! Thanks to everyone there and especially to Alex!!!

Good route and good pace, not too long or too short. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. Included several, though not all, of the city’s most famous landmarks.
Bart showed us key points of Interests in Paris. He also told us stories about the city.
Parts of the trip require you to bike on car lanes, but is very safe thing to do with experienced group leader.
You can get very near to the Bike shop with Metro line 10.
Our Guide was well versed in History and combined with a keen sense of humour and enthusiasm made this a rewarding experience. All the major historically important points visited between the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre (there are a lot!) Bikes in good condition. Leader was cautious and guided us safely when in traffic but much of it was on bike paths.
Perfect first day activity. An active activity to keep us going when jet-leg was hitting hard. Great tidbits of history and helped us grasp the layout of the city. Unfortunately big protests were going on and streets were barricaded. I was anxious/uneasy. But our guide Chai did a great job navigating around all of that and kept us safe. Bikes were in good working condition. Ride was a little faster paced and I don’t think my children could have kept up (great for adults). Maybe there are different tours with kids? I can’t remember. Bike tours in new cities are always my favorite and this one lived up to my expectations as always.
The guide Bart was great and he brought us safely around Paris my electric bike was comfortable and easy ride. The itinerary was excellent
All the best sites and picture spots in Paris!! Dave was amazing and made the trip and history of the city so memorable.
Traveling by bicycle is a great way to see a city, and having a guide brings the city to life! Vini was a wealth of information and fun.
Such a fun way to see Paris! We enjoyed every minute of it even in the rain. Our guide made it even more fun.
Amir was a very good tour guide!
Much knowledge for someone so young, who isn’t a native Parisian!!
He made it fun and inclusive!!!
Great time! Covered a lot of territory- always felt safe and relaxed. Easy to find and well organized.
Interesting and informative tour with Yaro. We were fortunate to just have our group of 5 (all 60+) on the e-bikes. We saw many of the iconic Paris sights while getting loads of background history from Yaro. Really enjoyable day out. Also felt very safe riding through the Paris traffic.
It was a good experience … we had some delays due to a riders punctured tire but the group was friendly
Guide and route very good, but bikes not maintained or well looked after. Guides bike broke down 3 times and although she was able to fix it, this should not have happened. Also guide did not have hi- viz or anything to see her easily identify her when following at the back or returning from a bathroom stop to a crowded park, so easy to lose the group. In the past bike tour leaders can be easily identified in a crowd and had their own leader bikes
Our guide Maarten is a very nice guide.
In about 2 hours he showed us all the highlights of Paris and told us all kind of interesting facts.
This excursion is also possible in English and I really have to say that the tour was very cool !
Amazing way to see and learn some of the history of what you are seeing in Paris. Oleg was so knowledgeable and nothing was any trouble. You don’t need to be a great cyclist.
We had a fantastic bike ride with Amir yesterday. Amir made the experience interesting and informative. Not only did we learn some French history but he linked past history to our lives, he is a brilliant storyteller.
The ride itself felt very safe and we were not rushed at all in exploring Paris and all it has to offer.
We would highly recommend this experience to everyone.
Many thanks Tracey and Steve -UK
We really enjoyed this tour. It takes in most of the main attractions in Paris and our guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour as a way to see a lot quickly.
Not to much as it was really good. & excellent bikes as they were very easy to ride. Tour goes at a really nice pace. Also the the two Guides in Toby & Annie were excellent could ask them anything. Definitely recommend 👌
Excellent tour! Erik was friendly and very knowledgable. This was a great way to learn a bit about Paris history while also exploring the city. Highly recommend!
I went with my 10yo daughter and 8yo son. Both were able to keep up with the group and did great!
Guide was patient and informative!
Highlight of our trip and worth the memories.
Decided to add on bike trip in Versailles bc of how much fun they had on the bike.
Oley our tour guide was great, truly enjoy the tour around Paris. It was safe and it was fun!!!!!!!!

Thank you, Danielle! We're so glad you had a fun and safe time exploring Paris with Oley. It sounds like the tour was everything it should be, safe, fun, and full of great sights. Hope to see you again on your next trip to Paris!
Our guide, Annie was amazing and so full of information. She was able to keep the group together, even though it was a hot day and varying degrees of bicycling capabilities. She was interesting and fun to listen to, I would do it again!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much! We're thrilled this was the highlight of your trip. It sounds like everything came together perfectly, the bike ride, the picnic, and of course Monet's house and gardens. We'll make sure Amir hears how much you enjoyed the day. Hope to see you again soon!
Great tour. Pickup bike at facility with storage and bathrooms which was imprtant to me. Bikes functioned well. Interactive and knowledgeable guide—> shoutout to CB, great guide and very knowledgeable about French history!
Response from Host, Jul 2026

It's wonderful to hear CB kept things interactive and shared such great knowledge of French history. We'll pass along your shoutout to him. Hope to see you again soon!
Fun way to see the city and learn some history with a guide. Not strenuous and felt safe on the bike paths.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Renee! We're glad you found it a fun and easy way to see the city and learn some history, and that you felt safe on the bike paths throughout. Hope to see you again on your next visit to Paris!
We love bike tours. We enjoyed this one. The pace was a little slow and we didn't need ebikes for this one. Paris is a little crazy because I don't know if walkers or bikers have right of way.
Definitely saw some of the big attractions. And some things some other places that we enjoyed.
Our guide was a coop student from Texas. He did well don't know if it took a little away from it not having a local.
But we definitely enjoyed it and would do it again.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Roger! We're glad you enjoyed the tour overall. We appreciate the feedback on the pace and the e-bike option, we want every guest to have the right setup for their riding style, so this is helpful for us to hear. Paris traffic can definitely take some getting used to. Hope to see you on another tour soon!
Best tour. Despite heat wave, bike tour took us all around in shade. Made water stops. Great way to see the city.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, CarolAnn! We're glad the route kept you in the shade during the heat wave and that the water stops helped keep everyone comfortable. Great to hear it was still a wonderful way to see the city. Hope to see you again soon!
Great tour with many stops for awesome pictures and tour guide was friendly also enjoyed the information.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you, Latasha! We're glad you enjoyed the photo stops along the way and that your guide was both friendly and informative. Hope to welcome you back for another tour soon!
We were fortunate to have the most knowledgeable tour guide, a student from Texas A&M. Special acknowledgment to CB. He rendered biking in Paris quite manageable. His assistance was invaluable, and he significantly contributed to making the tour an enjoyable experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the kind words! CB really does make Paris feel accessible and enjoyable for everyone — we're so glad his knowledge and support made such a difference to your experience. We'll make sure he gets the recognition he deserves. We hope to see you back in Paris soon!
We had a great time! Bo was a great tour guide. What a great way to see the sights! Saw the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, the Seine! Everything!
Nicholas was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgable and kept our whole group engaged. He was also very safe as we navigated the car, bus, bike and pedestrian traffic. I was nervous before-hand about how it would go but I shouldn't have worried - he had it all down.
