#1 Outdoor Activity in Paris as voted by Travellers' Choice 2018 - 2023
- We had a great time on this bike tour. They did a great job of breaking up the experience into distinct sections of biking, history and food. Felt like there was a really great rhythm and biking through Versailles was amazing. Highly recommend this tour.read moreread lessNate5/10/2022This experience was a favourite!

- Great!read moreread lessSye8/24/2022The cycle tour was a real highlight of stay in Paris and exceeded out expectations, it was a lovely way to see the city in the early evening and late into the night, also including the boat tour, we also got to see the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Our guide had great story telling, lots of interesting information, our kids really enjoyed the tour. This is a must do when in Paris. We give this one a 5 Star Rating.read moreread lessTash7/19/202310/10, do it. The most wonderful day, and I didn’t have to think about anything. Iryna was the best guide!!!read moreread lessAlissa9/17/2022
- This bike tour shows you all over Paris and teaches you some of history along the way! Great tour to see a lot of Paris at night.read moreread lessJacob10/10/2022Seriously the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever been on. From start to finish, it was epic. Cara, our guide, was beyond kind and patient, and was the best story teller! I never thought I’d enjoy Versailles as much as I did (as I’m not a big history buff) but Cara got me hooked and now I’m watching all the films /reading all the books. Thanks again for making our trip so memorable! Will never forget it.read moreread lessCristina9/30/2022Niki was an incredible tour guide, making us feel like we had really seen Paris in 5 hours! We hit all the major stops and got a great feel for what we'd return to in our upcoming days. Do this tour before you do anything else! Also, Lola was incredibly patient when anyone fell behind (aka me at the end of the tour). 10/10 would recommend.read moreread lessPatricia6/20/2019
- This bike tour was the highlight of our honeymoon trip to Paris. Maeve, our guide, was outstanding! She was friendly and knowledgeable and made our tour of the chateau so much easier when navigating the crowds. We skipped the line to tour the chateau while a thousand people formed huge lines to get in. We also got to shop in the market, have a picnic, see the gardens, and experience Marie Antoinette's hamlet. The bike riding was not too physically taxing and allowed us to see more in a day than we otherwise would have. We bonded with others in the group from around the world. Be aware, this is a FULL day. It was worth every penny and every minute!read moreread lessTerry8/02/2019This experience was magical! Everything about our adventure was wonderful. Our guide was so knowledgeable and shared so many wonderful stories and history about the area. She truly made this an experience to remember. From arrival at the train station we were greeted with smiles and kindness and that continued with everyone we came in contact with throughout the entire day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants an amazing and special experience! It was truly the highlight of our 3week holiday!read moreread lessJennifer7/16/2022This bike tour was absolutely delightful, especially at the time of day that it takes place. Seeing Paris at twilight and into the night is simply the best!
My wife and I are in our 60s and found that the experience was very invigorating and not overly taxing. Now, that being said, we are a couple of hipsters and relatively fit for our age…(But there were little children on the tour who we could barely keep up with, so figure that out, ha ha.)
Seriously, the bike tour was fun, the other guests, that did the tour with, us were simply the best, and our hosts were friendly, knowledgeable, personable, and totally in control. In a word: DO IT!!! ( Oops, that was two words...)
Thanks, Niki and Stu! You both rock!read moreread lessJohn (Tad)7/09/2018

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!
