A perfect way to see some of those out of the way, quintessential hidden gems in Paris on a banana colored bike. Simon entertained us all the way as we wove in and out off traffic (safely) with just the right balance of information, both useful and useless-but funny. Thanks so much Simon.
Had an amazing tour! Simon provided a fun, informative & engaging tour. I highly recommend this tour & Simon!
This was such an easy experience, the booking was seamless and the directions were perfect. The staff at the cafe were so welcoming and friendly. Then we were introduced to our guide Simon and he was soon a new friend. We got on the bikes quickly and we were on our way! He took us to all these hidden gems around Paris and knew so much fun history. He had the perfect blend of humor and knowledge to make the day fun. And we had a nice time visiting with the other guests from all around the world. We loved our guide so much we invited to visit us in the States! He made the tour feel safe and he made learning the history of this beautiful city easy to remember. 10/10 recommend!
A true exposure to hidden gems. I've been living here for nearly a year and visited dozens of times before, and Ryan managed to show us things I knew nothing about. He was charming and knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
A bike ride through Paris is a must-do, and our experience with our guide Joa was excellent. He seemed to really enjoy sharing his knowledge of places off the beaten path. He also took good care of our large group, making us feel safe even when going through some busy spots. The biking was mostly flat with a couple of small hills, very accessible for all ages and abilities. Highly recommend!
Simon was great! Went with our teen and tween and both agreed it was interesting and cool 🤠 Biking was easy-going and really nice to see things and places we had never even heard of, let alone seen. Great way to see the quieter parts of the city!
Simon is an excellent guide, explaining with passion.
Cedrik was GREAT! Tons of information and very friendly. We were so glad we did this tour and all agreed we saw places we would have never seen if we had not taken the tour and were so glad we did! The coffee shop meeting spot was perfect!
This was a really fun way to learn things about Paris in a small setting. Our tour guide, Simon, was very knowledgeable and had fun stories to share.
We made the excursion Hidden Gems. The tour starts at Le Peloton Café, don’t miss a coffee before or after the tour, and we’ll be back for a while. Nice reception if somewhat unclear information before start. The quality of the bikes is honestly like that, but they do the job. Our guide Jude was very informative, interesting, well read and pleasant. We felt safe with the way he performed the group on the streets of Paris. We did another excursion with BikeAboutTours during our stay in Paris and can absolutely imagine doing it again when we visit Paris.
