First of all Michaelangelo, our guide, was absolutely fantastic!!! So knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to such cool, wonderful, little known (to us) places that we would have never found on our own and loved it all! I highly recommend this tour with Michaelangelo!!

A really fun way to explore the 5th and 6th arrandisements and discover some of the lesser known tourist spots around the Latin Quarter. The biking is not at all strenuous and there were a handful of kids under 10 that all did great. Guillaume was our guide and he was funny, knowledgeable, and accommodating to needs that arose along the way. Highly recommended if you have half a day to spare.
Tanya_M, Jul 2026
Aaron showed us many interesting sites around the Latin Quarter, which we could have never found on our own. He personalized the tour and made sure we had a great time. It was nice to get away from the main tourist crowds for a day and the bikes made the heat more bearable.

Guillaume with bluefox travel was excellent, informative, and friendly guide. He made the tour enjoyable for my husband, my daughter (5 y/o) and I. Would definitely do another tour with Guillaume again! Biking through Paris was a great experience and you can see why there are so many bicyclists.

Our guide Gigi (sp?) was a great guide! He's a great storyteller and made it a very fun tour. Great way to see Paris through a local guide. Highly recommended!
Tara_T, Jul 2026
Antoine is an easy going Parisian who grew up in Paris. He shared some great stories and some even better memories of his youth in the city! He made sure we were safe but also gave us the space to learn how to bike in Paris. It was a fabulous experience!
Emily_W, Jun 2026
This really was money well-spent. Lena our guide took us through undiscovered areas of the Latin quarter (I’d been there before and obviously missed a lot). The pace was moderate and unhurried and biking was a welcome relief from walking. I would definitely do this again.
NielsRafn_G, Jun 2026
Old parts of Paris explored that would be difficult to find on your own. Our guide gave us a great history lesson. And did a great job.
tim_h, Jun 2026
Antoine is a really great guide - and a very friendly, personable guy too. He gave us just the right mix of history, culture and fun. Plus he speaks English with an accent ‘tres francais’! All told, a very enjoyable way to experience some known and many less well-known sights of Paris!
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Super fun and informative! You will be on the bike for 4 hours so be prepared and don’t forget sunscreen. We stopped for a great lunch and stopped at many interesting historical places. Our guide Elise was wonderful! Highly recommend. A great way to see the city.

The tour guide didn’t show up. The group waited 30 minutes, then it was cancelled and we were notified we would get a refund.
Response from Host, May 2026
We are very sorry for this situation and sincerely apologize that your tour had to be cancelled, and please be assured that all clients are refunded right away.
Unfortunately, our guide had an emergency on the day, which was a very rare and unexpected case.
Thank you for your understanding. Kind regards,

Wonderful overview of some of the most beautiful Parisian neighborhoods, St Germaine, the Latin quarter, the Marias and more. Stopped for lunch in a cute little square we hadn’t seen yet. Good bikes and we had a nice group and our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive.

Definitely a really fun bike tour (almost 6 miles) to lesser known spots in Paris! Had a good time visiting and learned a lot of fun facts and historical information.

This was one of our favourite activities when we were in Paris. Michael our guide was excellent- very knowledgeable and friendly with a lovely easygoing attitude that we really appreciated. He showed us parts of this beautiful city we would never have seen without him. I was a little apprehensive beforehand as I’m not the world’s fittest person, but it was very manageable with only one area that included an incline. Bring a backpack as the bikes don’t have a basket, however they are comfortable and in good condition. I would highly recommend this tour.
Amy_J, Apr 2026
Friendly, informative, interactive. Our guide was very kind and courteous, making sure we felt welcome and that we understood everything her was sharing
Kimberly_F, Mar 2026
Fun bike ride around Paris, focused on smaller sites and neighborhood pockets, making it feel more of a Parisian experience. Our tour guide was great, even arranging care for an elderly visitor who took a spill pre-bike ride! A true professional

An excellent selection of some of Paris’s (slightly) less well-known attractions. The ride is not challenging, though you need to be alert to traffic - vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians. It’s a busy city!
Our guide - Michael, whom we cannot recommend highly enough - adjusted his pace to ours so the day was quite comfortable. His English was easy to understand and his sense of humor and interesting commentary on his city made a great combination.
All-in-all, well worth the price and the time!
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for your wonderful review!
We’re so glad Michael made your Paris Bike Tour through the Latin Quarter & Le Marais enjoyable and engaging.
It sounds like you loved discovering hidden gems at a comfortable pace while enjoying his humor and insights.
Happy to hear it was worth your time!
Kind regards,

This was such an amazing tour. Extremely knowledgeable and Arnold was such a great guide. My husband and I just so happened to be the only people on the tour that day, so it was very intimate and the perfect way to start our trip. Highly recommend.

I cannot rate this tour highly enough. Thank you so much to the incredible Cece on being the best tour guide we could have asked for. We ended up being the only people on the biking tour, and were celebrating our 40th birthdays (3 best friends from high school). Cece went out of her way to make the tour extra memorable. She didn’t rush us at all, and in fact stayed with us longer than she had to just to make sure we saw everything we needed to see. I have been on a ton of tours in my life, and not one has been as good as this one. I will be recommending Cece to anyone I know that is visiting Paris. She does a ton of different tours, not just this one. Thank you Cece for a 40th birthday in Paris that we won’t soon forget!!!

The bike ride is thru streets that have a lot of traffic so must pay attention and follow guide carefully.

Great way to see a part of Paris within 4 hours and get the gist of spots to return. The guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining
Summer_S, Sep 2025
The tour was fun and comprehensive and the pace was good. Our guide (Lulu) was fantastic and had so many interesting tidbits. A great way to see a lot in a little amount of time.
Linda_B, Sep 2025
This tour was well organized, our guide was articulate, thoughtful, considerate and made the journey playful with history trivia. Thank you Arnaud, we were a small group and you delivered beyond our expectations. Merci!!
