Best trip of our Holiday - Fabulous humorous tour. I enjoyed this tour with my 11 year old daughter. Marley was entertaining and knowledgeable and gave us snippets of what it’s like to live in Paris. The bikes were new and comfortable. We loved the trip so much that we booked another one with them to Versailles the following day. This was also great.

Don’t miss this hidden gem in Paris!! - James was absolutely amazing and knew so much about the history of Paris. He showed us so many hidden areas with great information/stories that we would have never seen on our trip. He connected well to all the members of our group. This was our favorite tour for our two 13 year olds. James was also very helpful in giving great ideas for restaurants, bakeries, picnic spots and fun things to do in Paris. The bikes were easy to use and very comfy. We are so happy we did this tour!! Don’t miss this opportunity!!

Perfect bike tour of Paris - Had a lovely bike tour of Le Marais and the hidden attractions of Paris with James as our tour guide. He was a wealth of knowledge and added the perfect blend of history and stories of the sites you wouldn’t know otherwise. The ride itself was fairly easy and a perfect amount of time to explore the locales. Would highly recommend booking this establishment. 10/10

Fall in love with Paris - James was an excellent guide! His knowledge and passion about French history was outstanding. We especially enjoyed the Plaza Royale, the Jardin des Plantes and even the information about guillotine executions. The recommendations for dining and shopping were helpful. This was our first tour in Paris and what a way to start our girls trip! Merci beaucoup!

Amazing cycle tour of some of Paris’ hidden places! - We both thoroughly enjoyed this cycle trip around some of the ‘hidden’ places in Paris. Our guide, Cedric, was fantastic- he had a wonderful knowledge of the history of the places we visited and nicely interwove his own connections with Paris into the storytelling. I would recommend this tour to anyone as a way of understanding more about the sights you are looking at. The cycling itself is fairly cruise and flat!

Great tour, would recommend - It's a really modern style tour, my guide(you could get another one) was really cheerful and tried hard for the mood to be friendly. The bike riding itself is not a problem for almost anyone. She gave breaks, and we stopped a lot for her to tell us stories. No incline whatsoever (just two for getting the bikes out of the parking). If you like to see the city and bike rides and want to know something but not toooo much, this is great. The only downside is I would like to have my own pace like stopping to buy something or ...
