Excellent service, tour guide and value - There are knowledgeable, experienced, fun guides; and there are history majors who know all the depths of what on the tour. Marley is both! One of the best guides I've ever toured with (and I've had many excellent ones). I asked some obscure questions, and she knew the answers to them all. She also kept us safe biking around the traffic, pointed me to an excellent Middle-eastern food joint. At the end of the tour, she gave me a PDF of her recommendations. Holy cow! It reminds me of one of my college professors gave out notes in class so I could focus on paying attention to the lecture instead of scrambling to write stuff down! Marley's notes were polished but not generic.
The folks at the Peloton Cafe, where we met for the tour, were super friendly. That helped me, as an introvert. Marley had a flat in the middle of the tour---that set us back a bit but it was handled as fast as I could have expected. The bikes were in great condition (although mine rattled a bit over the coblestones). This is a small business and it's run like one, in a good way.
Terrific value. If it was in the summer, and there were more tours offered, I'd take them. I highly recommend it.

Brilliant bike tour! - We loved the bike tour with Cedric. I’ve been to Paris a few times but we explored totally new places like Arènes de Lutèce. His knowledge was amazing, definitely heading home with a better understanding of the history of Paris. Being on bike felt easy and safe, would totally recommend!

Hidden gems of Paris! - Simon gave us a very entertaining and informative tour. We completely enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely recommend this tour. This really is a hidden gems type of tour that took us to parts of Paris right in the middle of the city that we would never discover on our own. Simon is so friendly and funny and set a comfortable pace and tone that encouraged the group to engage with each other. 100% enjoyed this 4 hour tour!

Must do in Paris - Highly recommended tour if you want to skip the crowds of the larger monuments and experience the hidden gems of paris. The city has invested a lot in dedicated cycling lanes which made the activity perfectly safe. Cedric our guide was great and shared a lot of historical background on the places we visited. One of the highlights of our weekend trip!

Great Tour! - Excellent tour! Definitely do this! You see off the beaten path sites and get the history of Paris along the way. We stopped for a bite and sip during the trip. This was one of the highlights of my trip. So glad I did it.
