I will never forget the piano and saxophone playing on bridges and riding through the streets as I stared at the Eiffel Tower. It was a once in a lifetime kind of night.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and told us the meaning of every painting on every wall (and ceiling) in Versailles. We learned much more and had a much better experience than we would have had on our own. We also loved the bike trip to the market, the bike ride to the Grand Canal, and the tour of the Petit Trianon. read lessDebra9/13/2019

Biking is definitely the way to see Versailles. We learned a lot about the palace, which we toured first, but the grounds (for our group) were the true highlight, especially the Queen's Hamlet. We also loved having a chance to go to the market and see a little of the town. Highly recommend! read lessElizabeth4/10/2022👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Angela6/22/2022This Experience is amazing.

Our guide, Nicholas, was a great storyteller and made it as if the city's history unfurled before us as we walked and biked. Clear communication, no lines, and the kind and easy-going nature added to this wonderfully memorable experience. read lessJustine11/02/2021

Is it safe to ride a bike in Paris?
Paris: From City of Lights to City of Bikes!
Over the last few years Paris has been busy transforming roads into dedicated bike lanes. By bike we can safely explore the city and get up close to the must-see sites. We ride at a leisurely pace so you can take it all in and see more than you ever could by foot, bus or metro!
Since 2015, the city has invested over €150 million to develop protected bike lanes & areas free of motor traffic all over Paris. As of 2022, a remarkable network of 1094km is now fully equipped with these safe bikeways. Not only in the historical city centre, but the entire greater Paris area has been fitted with these new lanes which now total 2800km of bikeways (including one of our other favourite stomping grounds: Versailles!)
Paris now ranks as the 8th most most bicycle friendly city in the world & continues to climb the rankings!
