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!!

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!

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!!
Debbie_J, Sep 2025
Easy cycling and Aaron was a fantastic guide. I’m not the most confident of cyclists but the pace was easy and we felt safe at all times. The route was quiet compared to the much busier traffic we’d seen elsewhere. Aaron is so knowledgeable about the city, he answered hubby’s (many) questions with ease and was so so friendly. We found some beautiful places we’d never have come across without his guidance. Don’t be put off thinking it’s 4 hours of constant cycling, there are plenty of stops and the bikes are really comfortably.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback!
We’re delighted that Aaron made your Paris Bike Tour safe, enjoyable, and full of hidden treasures.
It’s fantastic to hear that the easy pace, stops, and his knowledge helped you discover parts of the city you might have otherwise missed. 🚲✨

I booked this tour last minute as a solo traveler who has already been to Paris a number of times. I wanted to do something mildly active and interesting. My guide was prompt and easy to locate. His knowledge was vast and his demeanor kind and humorous. I would absolutely book this tour again and recommend it to friends. It was a lovely day in Paris.

Really good tour to do if Pais is new to you
It was safe , guides very nice and a gentle pace. The location we went were really interesting and varied . Pack a rain coat in case and you need a back pack as there are no baskets
Our guide Lena was lovely as was Ryan. Maybe just a bit more historic information would be good . We really enjoyed it and it was value for money

Antoine our guide was excellent. Well prepared and informative. We visited places we would not have known about without his local knowledge.
It was not too busy and with only 4 in our group we covered a lot of ground. Highly recommend this experience.

We rode with traffic. People were walking in front of the bikes and cars were very close to us even though we were in a bike plane. I thought it was a little scary, but of course I was a little bit older.
George_B, Jun 2025
The pace was fast. Sometimes crossing main roads split our group; a bit disconcerting. These are one-speed bikes, geared low, so it takes heavy stand-up pedaling to make it up hills and across intersections. The stops were nice, with lots of interesting details and unique little alleys. Nice choices available at the lunch stop.

This hidden gem bike tour was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide Joris (Joe) was amazing! He made it easy to find him in the meeting spot which had the meeting spot “fountain” hidden by white market tents and construction. This construction/obstruction of the fountain could/should be noted in the meeting point instructions.
The bikes are all new and in good condition. One of my brakes was squeaky and didn’t work real well alone but with both front and rear brakes together it stopped ok.
It would have been very helpful if the bikes had a basket, OR at the very least info in the instructions advising that one is NOT provided. We came prepared with a back pack but many people did not. Joe ended up carrying stuff for some people as did my husband.
I must confess I did not feel entirely safe biking in such close proximity to cars, truck and busses and had hoped it would be more of a car free tour. Even the other bikes and scooters created concern at times. Once I saw the area of tour I realized this was not going to be the case. Some areas of the tour had no bike lanes and even the areas that did have bike lanes had us crossing streets where the green lights were not long enough for our entire group. It really felt like the tour should have had two guides - one at the front and one at the end - especially since our group included a family with teens who were not comfortable on the bikes. We had bus drivers trying to cut us off, yelling, honking, etc. My husband who does a lot more “road” biking than I do was more comfortable than I was with the traffic. He ended up bringing up the rear of our group. He said he felt he spent more time watching for the people in front of him (getting them across streets where lights had turned red; getting through tight, congested areas; missed turns; etc) than enjoying all of the sites.
Our rate felt a little over priced, especially in light of the fact that my husband ended up being the end of the group guide.
Overall it was a nice tour, but probably not the best for those with little city biking experience.
Susan_C, Jun 2025
Joris was a wonderful tour guide. Our family enjoyed the tour. He also gave great lunch and ice cream recommendations.

This was a way to see the Latin quarter the Jewish district and many other things. Our guide, Lena was wonderful, very kind, attentive and informative. It did not feel rushed amazingly.You must be in decent physical shape and able to bike ride without difficulty. I am nearly 70 and can say it was really a workout..
Kristina_S, May 2025
We loved the bike tour! We learned so much about the history of the area & enjoyed the gorgeous views as we biked through the city!
Dakota_N, May 2025
Your guide was great! Very friendly and funny. I would recommend this tour to anyone. Not too strenuous of a ride for biking.

Michael was our guide and he did a fantastic job showing us all around the two neighborhoods of Paris we would have missed out on since our hotels were in different areas. Both the Spanish quarter and Le Marais were beautiful and have so much history! Michael was super knowledgeable and funny and made the tour very enjoyable for us, thank you again!
Alyssa_H, May 2025
Our guide, Lucien, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable! You definitely have to be comfortable with riding a bike as it requires navigating through the city, however, Lucien was extremely mindful and observant and made the experience very comfortable!
