It was the most fun we had during our week's stay in Paris. Pascal was extremely knowledgeable about the history of each site that we visited and made the experience fun! The tour was well planned out and really highlighted the best of Paris. The sites we visited were just breathtakingly beautiful, and even more so at night! Our teenage kids had such a great time that they wished it went longer. We will have to do this again the next time we're in Paris! Thanks again!

The tour didn’t feel rushed at all and it took us to most of the major landmarks. I loved that it included a boat tour and wine! I would totally do it again and recommend for those who truly want to experience Paris. Thanks again Stu & Niki! read lessMarissa6/02/2018This was an amazing way to see Versailles with the right mix of biking and history. We absolutely loved Clara and her approach to the tour.

Stu and Niki were great and made the other tour guides look like amateurs as their groups waited and waited while we went straight to the front of the line because Stu and Niki had prepared all their credentials, paperwork, etc ahead of time. Great way to see Versailles and the gardens! read lessMichael7/21/2021Great evening with our guide Krizen. The meetup point was easy to find and accessible via Metro. Make sure to eat beforehand.

We stopped once for a snack and the tour ends quite late. Bring water. We took in lots of historical sights on both sides of the Seine. The amount of information given was just enough—maybe history buffs would like more, but for me it was the perfect amount without being boring. We had a great and easy/flat ride and then a relaxing cruise on the river. Expect to ride in traffic, so it is better for a weekend or Monday when it is quieter in the city. Highly recommend this as a pleasant way to spend an evening. read lessTeja8/22/2022

Cut the lines, hit the market with little crowds, great wine tasting, and bikes were great quality. It was a joy to bike the grounds and see so much more then what would be possible walking. Melli, our guide, was funny, knowledgeable, extremely engaging, and helped the day run smoothly. The picnic was picturesque! If contemplating a day trip from Paris, this is a must!!! Would like to do their night Paris tour too but our plans didn’t allow. read lessBrittany7/21/2019

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!
