Lovely way to see Paris and taste some local treats. Our tour guide Marley was fun, enthusiastic and led us through the streets of Paris for a fun morning. I wish we had done the tour earlier in our vacation. I would have definitely biked the city as a means of transport. Highly recommend.
Marley showed up and checked in with our family (4 adults 4 kids), she was amazing! Just as amazing as the Cafe staff who got us our coffee and juices right away. Such a great cafe. We then started on the tour with Marley after she very throughly took care of making sure the kiddos understood there bikes. She won me over when we started by letting the kids ring the hell out of the bell on the bike, then told them she would remove it if they did it again. The tour and stops were amazing! Marley ran down all of our snacks and then told us the history behind them. The group favorite was the wine, cheese, meats, bread, BUTTER set up. Book the tour! Ask for Marley, the French Midwesterner!!! The kids loved her! Thanks Marley.
We spent 10 days in Europe and this was THE tour my son, aged 13, and niece aged 14, said was the best thing we did. They LOVED Ryan and I am pretty sure we could have taken this tour every day and they would have still asked for more. It was so much fun. The food was amazing and Ryan was knowledgeable and engaging, especially with the kids. If you can only take one tour in Paris, you need to make sure it's this one!
We were supposed to go to all the destinations promise on the booking the guide missed one of the big market where we were supposed to spend an hour . the rest of the destination we only spent 15 minutes ! we did not get bottled water. We did not get helmut, overall not a good experience given it’s our first time. V disappointed
Bonjour, could you perhaps email us privately and elaborate a bit on your experience. Our small group food tour has never skipped any of the markets on the tour and we always spend much more than 15 minutes at each stop. I am curious what date you toured with us and if you are reviewing the correct experience?
Was a fun time with great food. Great way to also see the city on bike. Our guide Ryan was excellent. Highly recommend.
This was such a great bike/food tour through the city! I brought my 2 teenagers on the tour and they enjoyed it as well. Ryan our guide was so knowledgeable and fun to be around
Rachel was a fantastic tour guide. She did a great job of making our group feel more familial. We learned a lot and tasted some great food. She was also very sweet about an allergy we had in our family.
The yellow bikes were very comfortable and in good working order with baskets to hold our bags / water bottles. The pace in which we cycled around and had to spend at our stops was just right.
Fun ride with friendly guides but missed the mark on authentic Parisian stops & true local flavor. E.g. the ice cream stop was delicious but not particularly French or local. More cycling would have also been better with more explanation of important sites
Food catering for 6 at best while the group was 10. Bottles water promises, not provided. Biking on the streets of Paris at your own risk, some intersections could be dicey. Helmets promised, not provided.
