Wonderful.... - This guided tour saved our trip to Paris. Allyssa, sorry if I spelled it wrong, was wonderful, knowledgeable, and funny. We had just finished a week cycling in the Netherlands and this was the perfect ending to our trip across the pond.

Wonderful way to see Paris - It was such a fun way to visit Paris- at first I was worried I’d be out of my league with people in spandex or something- do not worry- laid back and enjoyable- James was a wonderful guide. I loved that we were able to cover more ground and see unique places that we couldn’t have all seen on a walk tour- ( he had great I do and stories)and if your like me, and your feet hurt from walking on cement all day- this was wonderful. Only thing I’d change was get done earlier and not stop for lunch- didn’t realize that was included- but - was a cute area for lunch. Thank you!

Great way to see Paris - Best part of our trip to Paris! I took my 10 year old daughter and she was fine riding the bike through the streets. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour pointed out interesting parts of French history. We both loved it!!

A brilliant 3 hour trip not to be missed - Emily in Paris, Hotel with canon ball that is now a library, the botanic gardens, crepe in hand, the other people. Suggest that the nearest M is printed on info sheet. Or state tha Peleton Cafe location is close to Notre dame. Secret garden in Place de Voges

Dissapointing - Our American guide was okay but there was nothing 'off the beaten track' on this tour. We went to tourist hotspots like the famous Place des Vosges. I was disappointed but that's on me because I should have read the itinerary and seen that this tour only visits well-known places (eg. Notre Dame is NOT off the beaten path!). If you want to see actual 'off the beaten track' places then this is not the tour for you. If you just want to ride around a handful of busy places then this might be your jam.
