#1 Outdoor Activity in Paris as voted by Travellers' Choice 2018 - 2023
- Krizan was a wonderful tour guide! The biking is very easy and the bikes are comfortable. We saw and learned so much!read moreread lessCourtney8/25/2022If you’re going to do one tour while you’re here, make it this one! It was insanely convenient to skip the line, the guides are super knowledgeable, and the bike ride through the gardens to a picnic at the end was incredible. Would 100% do this again!read moreread lessCourtney10/02/2019An absolute MUST experience for visiting Versailles. We skipped the lines and the crowds, experienced the amazing food market where we tasted local cheeses, wine and a delicious buckwheat crepe with ham and chèvre (have one...you will thank me!)
The bike ride was a true French experience...Not difficult for a novice or boring for a professional.
Our guide Lola was a dream. She kept us riveted with fascinating stories of Louis IVX...Marie Antoinette...and the French Revolution. It was a history lesson that included all the juicy tidbits. I am already updating my reading list to include books on this era.
Can’t say enough about how we all loved this experience. Cost was reasonable for what you get and well worth every euro spent and much more. I am traveling with my sisters and we all said this was our best day in France yet!
Thank you!read moreread lessChristine9/14/2019 - So glad I got to see Versailles this way. The palace is huge and being on bike made it very easy to navigate. Our tour guide was helpful and funny! They showed us the market where we could get food and provided everything else needed for a picnic at the park. Highly recommendread moreread lessChris11/18/2022This was a FANTASTIC experience! Our tour guide Nick was amazing!!! Riding along the Seine during sunset was magical. Another equally breathtaking moment was riding in the courtyard of the Louvre and seeing the glass pyramid glow gold from the setting sun. It felt as though I was in a dream. As if the biking experience itself wasn't enough, Nick's knowledge of the area and history enriched the whole evening. He had a warm personality that was easy to connect with. This experience was the absolute highlight of our trip!read moreread lessStephanie8/24/2023Fantastic tour, you get so much from the chateau de Versailles and it’s parc! Best way to visit it!read moreread lessBeatrice6/21/2022
- This was surely a very unique and wonderful experience! I absolutely LOVED it! Niki was very caring and attentive. She was knowledgeable and narrated information about the city and it’s monuments in a very enthusiastic and entertaining way. The stories she told were genuine and interesting! The bike path was fun and relaxing. We were able to enjoy a beautiful evening stroll on the streets of Paris with the right amount of stops to admire the city along the way. This was also a great opportunity to capture amazing photos!! If you’re visiting Paris and you can ride a bike, I would definitely recommend this experience!!read moreread lessJessica6/08/2019Fantastic way to cover lots of French history in one night. Bikes are comfortable and we loved following someone familiar with the streets etc. Great value!read moreread lessStephanie5/06/2023My husband wasn’t even sure he wanted to do Versailles because we had a jam packed few days in Paris, but we are SO GLAD we did!! Seeing Versailles by bike allowed us to see way more than we would have in a walking tour. The team made sure we were each equipped with bikes that were comfortable for everyone’s heights, so that started off the day on a great note. Grigor was our guide and he was so knowledgeable, we learned a lot! He was so friendly and took the time to connect with each of the couples/groups throughout the day. It seemed like he was a VIP when we were touring the inside areas because everyone knew him and even said he was the best! If this isn’t on your schedule when you visit France, change that immediately! It ended up being the highlight of our time there.read moreread lessKatie11/18/2022

Wonderful hostread moreread lessLauren11/23/2021We took the bike tour on day 5 of our visit. We had already seen or passed by most of the stops on the tour. Still the tour was fabulous and completely worthwhile! The perspective from our bikes in addition to Marie’s insight, knowledge and charm made this experience one of our favorites so far.read moreread lessDana6/03/2022

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!
