Parijs : Geheimentocht op een Nederlandse fiets

Led by guide Jasmine, our bike ride and tour were incredible. She is VERY knowledgeable about lesser known Paris stories.. She also gets through the city with confidence! It was amazing to ride in the heart of Paris, getting a glimpse of famous landmarks, with in depth historical context. Jasmine’s shared her expertise to help us find the BEST baguette sandwich in the world. We rented electric bikes, which I highly recommended. Getting through city traffic is more efficient and safe with power to assist in street crossings and busy pedestrian areas.

We have seen many new, beautiful, historically interesting and also green spots on our tour under the great direction of Hannah. She was super friendly and knew a lot to tell us about all the spots where stopped. She also guided us calmly and confidently through the Parisian traffic. Thank you Hannah for a great tour, it was great!!!

We were in Paris for the first time as a family. Because my experience was that you get to know foreign cities quickest and most directly on a bike, we decided to take this tour, which showed us the rather hidden highlights of Paris. The well-known tourist spots can also be found alone 😉. Jasmine - our guide guided us safely and routinely through Paris and knew many interesting stories about the individual places. Especially useful were their tips on hidden brasseries and restaurants offering good and not quite so overpriced food . Even with children who can safely ride bikes, the tour - despite traffic - is no problem at all. After the tour - unlike if we had explored Paris by metro - we had a good “Paris compass” in mind. Thanks to Jasmine - that was a nice experience

We did this secret tour with a group of 8 people. Ruben our Guide knew so much and especially enthusiastic about the history of the various buildings and places. No wonder if art history is your passion. What beautiful places we have seen. Then again in the busier streets and again in squares in an oasis of peace (as far as possible in Paris). We enjoyed it super, highly recommended.

Great experience, the tour guide Kevin gave clear explanations. It was a nice experience to see Paris in a different way,

Even if it is your first time in Paris, this tour is highly recommended! You can find the highlights yourself, but you may not be able to find these nice unknown places. Rene, our guide, was a real encyclopedia. We were lucky to be with a small group of 6, so there was plenty of room to hear the stories and ask questions. I enjoyed it, although sometimes (especially during rush hour) it was a bit tense with all the traffic. Definitely worth doing if you are in Paris.

Am here in Paris for a month so wanted to explore “secret” areas as advertised. News flash there was nothing secret about it. Rene was our guide and he was really cold, standoffish and had a very thick accent so i unfortunately picked up nothing from the tour. No attempt to chat with participants, or make the tour personable. Very transactional. The “secret” areas we explored were literally the Pantheon, Luxembourg gardens and the St Germain area. And a few other places i couldn’t identify. Honestly would not recommend. Rene was also often riding off alone and there were many times we as a group had to verbally shout at him to stop so everyone could catch up. Maybe the other guides are better but we got unlucky.

Very fun way to see Paris. Our guide Pierre was sweet and knowledgeable but also offered the tour a lot of entertainment. Certainly not your everyday tour of Paris. Would highly recommend it.

We started by waiting at the meeting point, at the address as shown on the site and mails. 35 minutes before the start. When 3 o'clock arrived, no one else showed up, so we phoned. "Oh", the lady on the phone said, "that has been wrong for years". The actual meeting point would be about 30 meters from where we stood, but still no one managed to come and get us, despite knowing that it was wrongly stated on the booking website. Nevertheless, we (and the rest of the group) were ready 5 minutes later, but still the tour didn't start before 15:20 (03:20 pm). Our guide promised us that we would bicycle 10km, but it ended up being only 4. No hidden gems; that is if Louvre, Pantheon and the Luxemborg gardens don't count. Big avenues as well. Our guide Rene also met a local guy in the gardens of Luxemborg, we spend some time standing there....while he was talking in French...no worries, we wait. René's accent is quite heavy, so that makes it hard to understand what he is saying. We also spend a lot of time listening to him close to a noisy avenue or contruction noise. There are devises for this, makes it easier for everyone. The storyline was incoherent to say the least. We also got a break.... unbelievable why, we hardly cycled. We did not sit together, didn't get any directions or tips where to go, eat or go to the toilet. Useless. Then the programme ran overtime for one hour. Babbling about the Notre Dam restauration (another hidden gem. Not.) . As a result of the late ending we had to cancel our dinner reservation. We have cycled through cities in Thailand, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Germany and this could have been handled and planned much differently. Not worth the money (35 euro each)

Telephone reservation, friendly and convenient in Dutch. Just looking for the right departure point, but with 1 phone call clear! Departure from an underground parking garage. Neat bikes, possibly with basket. Compliments to Mark, our knowledgeable and friendly guide. RECOMMENDED!
