- AMAZING!! My favorite part of our trip to Paris. Our bike guide was amazing and super knowledgeable, and we had a small group that made the tour very intimate. The trip to the market and our lunch by the water was so memorable. Thanks for everything!read moreread lessJess5/24/2022Very interesting trip. Tour guide is very good at historical storytelling. We had great fun.read moreread lessShelly6/10/2022Niki and Stu provide a fabulous and immersive tour of Versailles. Every detail is handled by them and it's very convenient getting to and from Paris. Bikes are an unexpected and fun way of seeing such a large place. I am so glad I didn't attempt to walk or tour the chateau on my own. The time to explore the market and buy your own lunch was fabulous - the DIY picnic was serene and picturesque. I wish I could take tours with them everywhere. Highly recommended.read moreread lessAshton6/18/2022

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!
