It was something different from just walking around the city. The route included some not-so-known-about places in central paris (marais, latin quarter, louvre) with a break for buying refreshments. The guide certainly knew what she was doing and talking about. The bikes were easy to ride, comfortable and safe (helmet on demand). Nice experience (I would recommend this also to... More

Do this tour, get great info on where to eat, drink and be merry and then go and do the big attractions yourself. Cheers Ian your knowledge and enthusiasm made our... More

Bike About Tours runs tours in Paris that start near Notre Dame. The tour winds through the small streets in the center of Paris. Because the tours start in the center ot the city all of your time is spent in the areas you want to see. Today was my second tour, but my wife and friends first tour. Everyone... More

Today was my fourth bike about tour of Paris. (We have taken our teenagers one at a time) My hisnand has been taking students on this trip for 8 years. You would think we would be sick of it but we are not. We learn new things every trip. The guides are excellent. The owners are really sharp young guys.... More

Really enjoyed the tour. Loved cycling through Paris and went to some places that I wouldn't have seen as I didn't know about them. I joined the tour on my own and Paul made me feel really welcome, he's knowledge about the history of Paris really interested me and his recommendations of bars and resturants was very helpful!! I would... More

This is absolutely the best and relaxing way to see Paris. We saw many aerias that are too difficult for turist buses. Cycling was safe, actually after this tour, we were brave enough to hire a city bikes for the rest of the day.

Having decided to go to Versailles we found information on line about this bike tour of the area. We had a great day with a relaxed group and a knowledgable guide happy to share interesting facts about this period in French history. We were able to see so much by touring on the bikes. Our day was such a success... More

We met our Guide, Kim, at the base of the Notre Dame. after a short walk to pick up the bikes, we began our four-hour, or so, route. We were a group of 11. Perfect size for a tour. We saw interesting places on the way. The pace was pleasant, with many stops on the way. I was initially afraid... More

Kim was fantastic! The weather was not great, but the bike was easy and ride enjoyable. We loved learning little secrets about the city, not just facts from centuries ago. Paris has plenty of that! But we will remember things like the cannonball and the spaced invaders for much longer.
