Place de la Concorde is located between the Champs Elysées and the Tuileries Gardens, and because of its elaborate history, it is one of Paris’ most evocative public spaces.

The Eiffel tower history represents a part of national heritage. It's been the symbol of France and Paris for decades. But when Gustave Eiffel achieved its construction in 1889, the tower was only meant to be temporary in the Parisian landscape and was far from being the Parisians' favorite landmark. Stop here for some pictures and history behind it!
The Champ de Mars is a beautiful open park stretching from the Eiffel Tower, offering breathtaking views and a perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy the Parisian atmosphere.

It is a quick paced bike ride so if you’re not up to keeping up it may not be for you. George, our tour guide was extremely patient with our group and very knowledgeable. He was able to gauge the level of history interest the group had and provided the right amount of insight. His English was very good with a slight accent enabling us to understand him very well.
Mae was very knowledgeable on the history of Paris and the historical structures. She ensured we were safe on the bikes as we navigated Paris.
The bikes are difficult to work so we did not go on tour. The guide who met us was lovely person. Thanks
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you were unable to take part in the tour. However, this activity is clearly advertised as a bike tour, and participants must be able to ride a bicycle in order to join safely. Upon arrival, it became clear that you were not able to ride a bicycle. Although this tour is not a cycling lesson, our guide still spent more than 40 minutes trying to help you, explain the basics, and give you the opportunity to participate. Unfortunately, despite this additional time and effort, you were still unable to ride comfortably and safely enough to join the tour. The scheduled tour duration was 2.5 hours, and spending such a significant amount of time trying to teach basic cycling skills made it impossible to continue the activity as planned without affecting the safety, timing, and quality of the experience. We did our best to find a suitable solution and offered alternative options, including a Segway tour with training and a hop-on hop-off minibus tour on another day. Unfortunately, these alternatives were not accepted. Regarding the refund request, the booking was not cancelled at least 24 hours before the tour, and the service was available and ready to operate as scheduled. The reason the tour could not be joined was that the required basic ability to ride a bicycle was not met. For this reason, we are unable to approve a refund under the applicable cancellation policy. We always do our best to help our guests and find fair solutions whenever possible. However, for bike tours, participants are expected to know how to ride a bicycle before making a booking. Our guides are there to conduct the tour, not to provide basic bicycle training before the activity starts.
Our guide George was very knowledgeable about the history behind the attractions and asked questions to engage us. We covered a lot of ground as he knew the best routes and spots for pictures as well.
We did a tour with May - super friendly, explained everything along the way, and captured some great photos of us! Such a beautiful city to explore. The e—bikes were great in allowing us to see more places and with ease! We had ample time to take photos at each of the spots.
Wonderful job Fadwa! Very knowledgeable and personable!
We had an amazing time with TJ on a bike tour of the major sites in Paris! I’ve been to Paris many times but really appreciated getting the insider perspective and history vs just seeing the sites. We felt super safe on the bikes and could have stayed the whole day! Biking is a great way to see the sites together because they are too far to walk and you still get to stop and explore.
It was a fabulous way to see the city. We saw much more than we could have using public transportation. It allowed us to get the highlights and then go back to the paces we loved. I highly recommend!
The tour was amazing and our guide, Fadwa, was also amazing, very polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. She took time to answer questions and tell us about the history and details at each stop. We do bike tours in every city we visit and Fadwa was, by far, the best guide we have had.
Fadwa was an amazing guide. Not too fast, not too slow. She adjusted our route to try to help in the pursuit of a “crookie” and found alternative spots to view things that we had seen. Her English was perfect!
