Highly recommend and if you do book the tour recommend you take it early in your stay. - I took three "tours" while in Paris (Eiffel Tower, Nook and Crannies Bike Tour, and Normandy D-day) and felt this tour provided the best entertainment and monetary value. Only regret is that we did not take this trip earlier in the week instead of our last day as there were several areas I would have liked to explore again. Our guide was Jean Pierre (or maybe it was Jean Paul). You peddle on mostly flat surfaces stopping quite frequently for information or to explore. My knees are pretty much shot but I had no problem completing the trip once the seat height was optimized. I didn't start my sports watch right away but what I did record was 7.4 miles r/t over 3 hours 19 minutes (probably closer to 8 miles) with an overall average speed of 2.2 mph taking into consideration those stops. In all we were probably occupied for 4 hours considering time spent with introductions, instructions and selecting our bikes. There is a lot of biking in and around crowds. You start and finish at the same spot.
Highly recommend this bike tour and advise that you do it early during your stay in Paris.

Very worthwhile tour - Our wonderful guide Igor took us around Paris at a leisurely pace. He was very safe and courteous as a ride leader. The route was beautiful and Igor showed us a ton of cool little features of the city that would be very hard to find in a guidebook. When we got stuck in a 20 min downpour, we parked at an extremely charming cafe for a bit to dry off and have hot drinks. Probably the best part of our two week trip.

Don't miss it, it's a beautiful tour - It was a different experience which I recommend to everyone who can make it, we were able to tour a lot of beautiful places in the time dedicated to the activity. In addition our guide, Pablo, was very friendly and pleasant, he had a lot of knowledge and interesting facts about what we were seeing. Very happy with our choice.

A wonderful afternoon discovering parts of Paris I never knew about - Excellent bike trip seeing places in Paris I had never seen before and neither had my son who lives in Paris . Our guide was Jean Pierre.. what a legend .. worked so hard to keep us all together and safe on Paris bike lanes. Great group with lots of humour and chat. I would thoroughly recommend this tour and would do again as soon as much to see and learn
Big shout out to JP thank you for making this unforgettable

What a wonderful 3 hours.... - What a wonderful 3 hours. Igor was outstanding in his leadership, knowledge and humor. So many wonderful stops, riding beside the Seine and a macaron stop (snack in the Luxemberg Garden) were highlights. Highly tecommend.

Bike Tour with Jean Pierre - We had the pleasure of Jean Pierre as our guide. He took us to some very interesting hidden places around the not so familiar areas of Paris. He knew so many facts about the places he showed us and was very enthusiastic with all we were doing. He constantly looked out for us whilst we were cycling and took our safety very seriously. We had such fun, 3 hours long and excellent value. What a great experience.

Great intro to Paris! - We rode around the lesser known sites in Paris with only a group of four! Pablo did a great job showing us around.You need to know how to ride a bike—you’re biking through traffic in a city! If you’re not comfortable with that, then do another type of tour.
Bring coat, hat and gloves if it’s going to be chilly. They provided rain poncho, since it rained at the end. Greta experience!

Interesting, enjoyable afternoon in Paris - Such a fun afternoon in glorious spring weather! We truly enjoyed our tour with Paul today. He has a deep knowledge of Paris history and we enjoyed his sense of humor. We navigated in all kinds of places but it always felt safe and was easy to do. Learned lots of new things about Paris and saw sites I didn’t know existed. Recommended.
