This tour was fantastic. David our guide was very well informed about the history of the sites we were seeing. Navigating the streets of Paris was easy and we felt confident following David through some of the areas that were very crowded with pedestrians and bikes. He was an excellent guide
Thank you so much! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic time exploring Paris with David. He’ll be so happy to know that his historical knowledge and calm guidance through the busy streets helped you feel confident and comfortable throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another Paris adventure! 💚
This is a great tour and our guide David gave us a great insight into the history of Paris and any advice re tours, restaurants etc. It was lovely to see all the major landmarks and to stop off and take photos and hear all the history. I would highly recommend this tour.
We loved our tour with Sophie. I have two teenagers, and they also were fully engaged and enjoyed the tour. Sophie was very interesting and gave the perfect amount of information and highlights at each of the stops to keep everyone’s full attention. We’d highly recommend the Paris Highlights Tour. We took it on our first full day in Paris and it was a wonderful introduction to the city.
Thank you so much, BJ! We’re so happy the Paris Highlights Tour was a wonderful introduction to the city for your family. It’s especially great to hear that Sophie kept your teenagers fully engaged with just the right mix of stories, highlights, and information at each stop. Starting your first full day in Paris this way sounds perfect — we truly appreciate your recommendation! 🌟
The tour office is a perfectly located starting point with a luggage store (Radical Storage) and plenty of places to eat nearby. I loved the quirkily named city bikes and I would never have known it was our tour guide Paul's first day on the job because he exuded a calm presence and fluidly told us some interesting facts about the main highlights, as well as some less well known gems, around the city. This is a great tour for a first timer in Paris or a revisiting traveller who needs a quick refresher to refamiliarise themselves. Highly recommended. The bonus was the option of large panniers or a basket to Carey your belongings.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenience of the starting point and all the little details that made the bike tour easy and fun 😊 Paul will be especially happy to hear your kind words, especially on his first day! Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Paris! 🚴♂️
It was amazing! The cycling was quite easy, we got to see so many cool sights along the way, and the tour guide Krizan was wonderful, easy to get along with, and knowledgeable!
Andrea was entertaining, knowledgeable, kind, and comforting on our journey! Very informative and answered all my questions! He was considerate and helpful.
Thank you, R. We are so happy Andrea kept the day warm with his stories, care, and thoughtful help. It means a lot that you felt looked after and informed. We hope to welcome you on another ride soon. 😊
The four of us (2 couples) signed up for this tour to get the lay of the land as this was our first visit to Paris. We were pleasantly surprised with our tour guide Cami. She was from the US as we were. A couple of us were a little concerned about biking on the busy streets of Paris. Cami assured us it would be a safe easy ride. And she was right, we were totally comfortable the entire time. She catered to our needs and took as much time at each stop as we wanted. She made it fun and interesting, stopping whenever we wanted for exploring and photo taking! She also gave us some tourist tips and recommendations when we asked. This was a highlight of our trip to Paris! I would highly recommend this tour AND Cami.
Thank you, Cami will be over the moon to read this. We are so glad your first ride in Paris felt safe, unrushed, and fun with plenty of photo stops and tips. Delighted it was a trip highlight and we would love to host you again. 💛🚴♀️
Would highly recommend this tour! Decided to do with teens as first time in Paris and was a perfect way to see a little bit of all the key spots. Camille was our tour guide, super friendly and has great knowledge of Paris (she is half French). Tour was at a quick pace in terms of stops but gives you and idea of where you would want to go for a more leisurely visit. Duration about 3 hours with a short 20 min stop in the middle. This was just enough to see everything, would say you need to be reasonably fit and confident on a bike to do this as you are cycling through Paris but mostly on designated cycle paths so don’t let this put you off, it’s great fun and would say a must do activity! Thank you Camille we had a brilliant morning 😊
Thank you so much! 😊 We’re so glad you and your teens had such a brilliant morning with Camille. She’ll be delighted to know her knowledge and friendly guidance made your first Paris visit so special. Your thoughtful review will surely encourage other families to give it a try—what a wonderful way to see the city! 🚴♀️✨
