Fun, safe and informative - This was the highlight of our three day visit to Paris. Frederique was an amazing guide. Clearly passionate and enthusiastic about the rich history of the city. It was great to see both the major attractions and the side streets. I highly recommend bike tours as a way to see a major city and this tour was particularly enjoyable. Our group was three middle aged women and the biking was easy and fun.

Quirky, Fun and Education Tour - Going on an early morning bike ride in Paris was a great way to see a lot of the sites in a fun and different way. My favourite bit was getting to see the not-so-known parts of Le Marais and riding down the Seine. It's a great tour for people who enjoy sightseeing away from the tourist areas, and learning local history too. My friends and I highly recommend this tour!

Excellent and wear your helmet - Frédérique, our guide was wonderful and engaging and quite informative. We learned a lot about the history of Paris and France in a short period of time. The biking is through traffic, and not necessarily for the faint of heart if you have not biked in cities, just fyi! But we loved it!

This is a must do way to experience the most adorables areas in Paris! - Highly recommend this tour! It’s a great way to experience parts of Paris that you would likely not stumble upon on your own. Our tour guide, Francesca was amazing. She really made the experience special for our group. Her knowledge of the history behind all of what we got to see was awesome.

Best Bike Ride through Paris!!! - This tour was one of the main highlights of our mini Parisian getaway! We had so much fun...our tour guide, Clemont, was awesome! He was very knowledgeable, made sure we stayed safe riding through the crazy streets of Paris...driving in taxis and Ubers can be terrifying...with the crazy traffic and drivers, but felt very safe bike riding with this tour...making many stops here and there learning about all the charming nooks and crannies of Paris! He showed us where Pablo Picasso once lived, took us to have delicious French Macaroons...Jim Morrisons fav bar...the oldest running restaurant in the world and MORE!!! I would definitely recommended this tour! It was so much fun!!!

Great way to learn about Paris - The bicycle Tour was absolutely an eye opener to other less known but very interesting parts of Paris. Tara was a great guide and as a native Parisian herself, knew a lot about the history and culture of this amazing city. Would definitely recommend this experience.
