- Truly the best way to see the classics of Paris! Don’t hesitate on booking this experience. We met such wonderful people and got to feel like we were part of the city.read moreread lessKaylin5/19/2022The tour was great and seeing Paris at night was incredible. Our tour guide, Christian, had great energy and knew a bunch about Paris history and took great pictures 🙂 Definitely a great way to see the city in a short period of time.read moreread lessMelissa9/15/2022Niki was an incredible tour guide, making us feel like we had really seen Paris in 5 hours! We hit all the major stops and got a great feel for what we'd return to in our upcoming days. Do this tour before you do anything else! Also, Lola was incredibly patient when anyone fell behind (aka me at the end of the tour). 10/10 would recommend.read moreread lessPatricia6/20/2019
- Thank you for such a great day! Nico showed us around the house of Versailles and told us very informative stories as we walked through each room. then we enjoyed a bike ride through the gardens and through the town. the picnic was also a nice touch talking to everyone that was there. had a lot of fun!read moreread lessAndre9/01/2022We truly enjoyed our Paris bike tour and boat cruise! A big hit with our 15 year old son as well. Stu and Niki are very knowledgeable about the history of Paris and the best course to cover a lot of ground safely on a bike through the city. They keep the group to a small number which also adds to the experience. We were return customers and will definitely recommend their bike tours to others!read moreread lessCatherine7/30/2018If you want to visit Versailles, this is the ONLY way to do it. It starts early, but Stu & Niki have everything so well planned - so there's a method to the 8 AM start time. If nothing else, this tour saves you from waiting up to 6 hours to get inside and you have great guides that actually know what they're talking about. It's also a small (up to 12) group - so you're avoiding the other 50+ person groups and they answer questions.
In addition, the bikes are great and so is the food choices. You do get to try what the area is known for & the quality is great. Lastly, everyone got along really well & frankly, I was worried to come alone - but Niki, Stu & Iryna really make everyone feel like friends. I highly recommend doing the tour - one of the highlights of my trip! I'll make sure family and friends tour with them when they're in Paris!read moreread lessAsh8/14/2019

Our guides make the difference.
We started with a simple goal – to work with not only the very best certified guides but great people.
Not only are they lots of fun but have obtained the Guide Conferencier certification that allows them to both skip the lines and guide inside all monuments & museums in France.

We offer experiences that combine visiting the must-see sites with ease with local hidden gems missed by most away from the hoards of tourists.
Is it safe to ride a bike in Paris?
Paris: From City of Lights to City of Bikes!
Over the last few years Paris has been busy transforming roads into dedicated bike lanes. By bike we can safely explore the city and get up close to the must-see sites. We ride at a leisurely pace so you can take it all in and see more than you ever could by foot, bus or metro!
Since 2015, the city has invested over €150 million to develop protected bike lanes & areas free of motor traffic all over Paris. As of 2022, a remarkable network of 1094km is now fully equipped with these safe bikeways. Not only in the historical city centre, but the entire greater Paris area has been fitted with these new lanes which now total 2800km of bikeways (including one of our other favourite stomping grounds: Versailles!)
Paris now ranks as the 8th most most bicycle friendly city in the world & continues to climb the rankings!
