We traveled with 2 kids 13 & 10 and they loved it! Our tour guy Mika was wonderful! Since we only had 4 our us in the group it felt like a privite tour with some special stop for chocolates and personalized historic sites & art
It was so much fun to see Paris on a bike! Igor was extremely knowledgable. My husband and I had a great time!
Igor was an amazing guide with extensive knowledge of the history of Paris.
Our guide Frederic Thuillier was very friendly and vividly conveyed his comprehensive Wiseen to Paris in the present and past. He set a pleasant pace and guided us safely through traffic. At the end of the tour we were surprised that the given time was exceeded by half an hour.
Our tour with Paul was enjoyable. His commentary was excellent and the bikes were easy to ride and we could all keep up. The itinerary wasn't really what was advertised due to the final stage of the Tour de France closing many of the routes, but Paul took us to other interesting places. The only issue we had was that there was no communication when Paul failed to show up on time because he'd had an accident on his way to meet us. The other guides at the site who were taking tours in other languages, also couldn't reach the company or manager to find out what was happening. This meant we were left for 40 mins not really knowing what to do. The company could improve communication in this situation as they had all our email addresses. The number provided just rang out and so we just had to wait.
It was a phenomenal experience, cloudy day, friendly guide, we met many monuments at our pace, interesting explanations, proper bikes,.. Anyway, highly recommended
Igor was a fantastic guide! It turned out that our family group of 9 ended up being the only ones on that tour (max participants of 12) so we had a personal tour by Igor. It was surreal to bike around the courtyard of the Louvre! Not only was Igor informative with details about each of our stops (including visual aids), he was great about taking lots of pictures of us at photo op spots. A highlight of the tour was a stop at a Parisian chocolate shop which also offered macarons at an incredibly affordable price of 1 euro each! We were able to purchase our treats to take to the Luxembourg Gardens to enjoy by the cafe there. Igor was personable, accommodating, and just simply a really great guy. He also speaks a LOT of languages! Super impressed by this tour and would absolutely do it again.
Great overview of Paris highlights. Bikes were easy to ride and the route was mild. Teenagers enjoyed it. No need for e-bikes on this tour. Our guide Igor was great, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Was happy we booked for Sunday morning — cooler and less crowded.
We did the tour with Romeo who has a degree in history. He was an excellent guide! The tour was both fun and educational. Our family’s ages ranged from 10 to 60 and all of us had a great time.
Our guide, Lorenzo, was knowledgeable and friendly. The route was well planned. We really enjoyed this tour
