A great entree to Paris - A terrific way to acquaint yourself with Paris and get your bearings. Given it’s by bike you can really cover a few kms in the three hours. Our tour guide’s knowledge and passion was exceptional and possibly only equaled by his dislike for the Paris 2024 Olympics 😉. Add this to your list and make it early in your visit.

Thank you OG! - Went with family, our guide was OG and he was superb. Spoke clearly and knowledgeably, a few terrible jokes in there etc. Definitely learnt a lot from him, and when we asked some questions it was clear he knew the city and its history very well.
Cycling around the city was a great way to see it, and with OG we felt safe. We had 2 kids, 6 and 7 years old. You do have to pay attention to what's going on to keep them safe, but there were no very stressful times and by the end they were both very confident getting around cycling at the front of the group. Main issue was the annoying American family who kept splitting up the group by cycling slowly while they were taking selfies / cycling on the road at the same time. We learnt to stay in front of them. We were all gutted when one of them stacked it.
OG was able to complete our day by recommending a couple of places to dine after and some other things we could do while we were in the city / next time we visit. If you only have a limited time to explore Paris, do it with these guys you won't regret it.

Quickest Way to See A Lot of Paris in a Short Time - This bicycle tour was well done. The sites we saw were well planned out, and although you will bike for the 3 hours, there are plenty of breaks and stops in the shade. Would be best to do on a cool or overcast day, which we did not have. It was sunny and hot. So bring with you a refillable water bottle, a hat, and put on sunscreen during the summer months. But you will see all the major attractions, so this is good for people who are just arriving for the first time to Paris to see a lot and get their bearings on a section of the city.

Still giving great tours - Our family went on a group tour with Vini, who gave us a great experience. The route itself was not too strenuous, and Vini's descriptions of the sites was both entertaining and interesting. My wife and I went on a similar tour 22 years ago and we were excited to share it this time with our adult children. This is a great way to get oriented around Paris and see several sites that you might want to come back and spend more time at later. Highly recommend.

A great introduction to Paris! - Jean Francois was an excellent tour guide sharing his knowledge and love for Paris with us while also keeping us safe through the streets and around the historic sights. A great way to begin our Paris adventure!

Waste of money. - Waste of money. This “tour” involved a guide walking us to the Eiffel tour ticket que line and then buying tickets for us. We could have done it ourselves and saved hundreds. There was no tour or information given about the Eiffel Tower. Do not use this company.
