We didn't know the 13° arrondissement yet. Clement is a very good guide and it was a beautiful and interesting trip, with lots of street art.
Nice bike ride to 13th quarter where we saw the murals of the quarter - we are very happy to recommend and repeat later ourselves
Visit Street Art in the 13th in French with SIMPLY FRANCE TOURS. We were 5 people, (67 years-60 years-13 years-13 years-12 years). On a Sunday morning, little traffic, on bike path or by the seine. We have been able to benefit from a privatized circuit: no one has been grafted to this circuit. Very comfortable bikes, really extraordinary guide Romeo who did not look at his watch and who adapts to our requests (on that day he was accompanied by a person who hoped to visit to later be guide, also very well). Street art and passage to station F and its the largest restaurant in Europe. Extraordinary walk, we 5 share the same opinion. Time passed quickly for us grandparents as well as for our teenagers, although the visit was a little longer than advertised.
This tour was awesome. Got to see the highlights of the huge murals in the 13th Arron. and got to see a side to Paris most tourists don't get to see. The guide was very knowledgable and friendly. At each artwork, he not only told us about the art and artist but also talked about the interpretation of the work. I highly recommend this tour for any street art lover.
The guide was sympathetic and smooth. Knew to captivate young and old with his explanation of the works, it never became too much or boring. Cycling in Paris is great. Recommended with teenagers.
The street art bike tour blew our minds! Cedric was our tour guide, and his enthusiasm was simply infectious. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of all of the pieces, the artists, the artistic techniques, area history, and street art in general--we learned a ton while checking out impressive art. His English was superb, and he was always willing to answer questions and adjust his approach based on the participants' interests. I was interested in more of the cultural and civic aspects for example, and he handled this well. He also excelled at drawing the group in with intriguing questions and multimedia (printed material, phone photos, etc.) to showcase his points. Cedric clearly took into consideration our different comfort levels with biking, and riding with him always felt supportive. Coming from San Francisco specifically, it was a joy to ride on such flat terrain with very robust bicycle infrastructure. We also felt very safe covid-wise, with being able to keep our distance in an outdoor environment. We cannot recommend it enough. We will be back for another tour next time we are in Paris!
It was an amazing tour! Our tour guide Cedric was great and very enthusiastic. The street art is fascinating, we have been to Paris many times in the past, but we didn't know this side of Paris yet. It is definitely very interesting, and we can only recommend the tour - and especially our guide - to others. Barbara +Kai
Outstanding! Graffiti may be a misnomer. You will see original and beautiful works of art. Cedric was an experienced and engaging guide; setting the tone with the simple truth that there art is there for you to respond to it. Cedric was skillful in providing just the right amount of context. We were never bored and 3 hours passed in a flash. Bikes are comfy and the ride easy. So many of the sights in Paris can be like checking a box, but this tour provided a new way to enjoy and know Paris. Really can't recommend it highly enough. Two 50+ moms and their 20 year old daughters loved it. [Maybe TMI but Cedric also gallantly jumped on the phone with the pharmacy where we had our 'Return to the U.S. antigen tests' to ensure that our results were sent to our emails immediately.]
Thanks for your great review ! We love our city and aim to make sure people discover and appreciate it like we do. Enjoy Paris !
We had a fantastic experience. Our guide was knowledge and took great care of the group. Seeing a different part of Paris, and by bike, was a lot of fun. Our tour (in English) was on Sunday morning which seems like the perfect day/time to avoid heat and traffic. The bikes have handlebar baskets- easy to store a water bottle or sweatshirt if needed.
It was a very lively visit thanks to our guide Yohan. It is a very well built bike ride, but above all it is enriching for both long-time Parisians and visitors wanting to know the nooks and crannies of Paris. I highly recommend, this is an opportunity to discover the 13th arrondissement: a neighborhood too little to look.
