Awesome experience - The evening boat .& bike ride was a perfect introduction to Paris monuments. Our guide, Michael, was warm, inviting, and very knowledgeable. He answered all our questions. Riding bikes in the evening meant the crowds were fewer … it was quite fun. I highly recommend it.

Great way to tour Paris city centre - An amazing evening touring the city through both boat and bike. The tour guide was excellent and clearly passionate about the job. Left us wishing we could bike a lot longer!

Loved the City of Lights at Night! - We loved our bike and boat tour! Seeing Paris all lit up at night was well worth it, especially sights like the Louvre. Our guide, Arnold, was very informative and funny, and he did a good job managing the group's varying levels of bike skills. We did find that navigating the bike lanes required a degree of skill, especially given how aggressive Parisian cyclists can be, so be advised if you are not a confident cyclist. All in all, it was a fantastic way to see the city and learn more about its history.

Evening Cycle around Paris. - This experience was fantastic, Lena, was very welcoming, knowledgeable, and engaging. We felt safe and cycling around the streets of Paris at night. The boat ride was lovely. Unfortunately, the English translator on the boat was terrible. But Lena made up for the poor English translation.

Room for improvement but still good - This review is not a reflection on our guide Michael. He is a wonderful young man who was delightful company and knowledgeable about Paris. The structure of the tour tour itself needs adjustment. The tour starts like any other: You meet and walk to the bike storage where you gear up. Then you take a long but easy ride on the banks of the Senne to the boat dock by the Eiffel Tower. There is no real stopping or discussion along the way. The boat ride is just a big tourist boat (other operator). Blue fox just purchases the tickets for you and you get on the boat as a group. The boat operator announces in French, English and Spanish and the announcement are not very good in any of those languages. Plus the views of most of the sights are obstructed by trees. Rightly or wrongly, I was under the impression that Blue Fox operated the cruise. A more intimate cruise experience with more in depth discussion of the sights would have been superior. After a slow 1-hour cruise you return and bike to le grand palais and briefly stop. Not that interesting. The last two stops are place de concord and le louvre where the tour guide finally has an opportunity to share his knowledge of Paris. So basically the best part is the last 20 minutes. This contrasts sharply with the old “Mike’s Bike Tour” where each stop was full of interesting and often amusing historical stories of each site. I recommend Blue Fox either restructure the tour or be more precise on its website description so the experience matches the expectation. Again, Michael was great. Blue Fox needs to better set him up for success. Also, the overview given at the very end on the map at the bike garage should be given at the beginning.

Paris by night - A good experience. Paris in the evening is magical, the only flaw the boat: super crowded, half an hour line. All in all I would recommend it.

Easy fun ride around the city - Amazing tour and our guide, Lena, was fun and made the tour very much enjoyable. No mention of poop, but I guess you can’t cover everything on tour.
