Was a great tour, and loved the area we stopped in for a snack. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see more than just the basic tourist attractions.
A fun way to cover some ground in Paris and see more than I could on foot. Personable guide. Would do again
Absolutely amazing I love the guide and the entire experience E bike was easy to use and very enjoyable Probably the best ebike tour I've ever been and I've been them from Alaska to Aruba
We had an excellent bike tour through Paris. Andrea was very attentive and knowledgeable about hidden areas in the city. We even stopped at an excellent coffee shop and bakery halfway through. We felt very safe riding in the city and more knowledgeable about the city we highly recommend this tour. .
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you felt safe exploring with Andrea, loved uncovering those hidden city secrets, and enjoyed the bakery stop. We truly appreciate the high recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another ride soon!
Andrea led us on our private tour of the Secrets of Paris tour with professionalism, fun and patience. Would definitely recommend! Seeing Paris by bike is a lovely experience and affords you something other than the typical tourist experience.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your private Secrets of Paris bike tour with Andrea. She’ll be so happy to know her professionalism, patience, and fun energy helped make the experience memorable for you. Paris really does have a different charm when explored by bike, especially away from the usual tourist paths, and we’re glad you were able to experience that side of the city with us. Thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride in the future!
Fabian was a great tour guide. He explained the rules of the road and how to navigate the city on bike before we headed out. Then we were off. 18 kilometers flew by in 3.5hrs but felt like nothing. We had frequent stops where Fabian gave us the history of the architecture of sites, or the history of the city, or why a particular intersection/neighborhood was important. He is an art history student and knows a LOT about art and architecture but definitely knew a lot about French history and all the areas we visited. He had a great attitude and was cheerful and happy the whole time through traffic and rain. I think this tour is best for anyone interested in getting a layout of the city, learning history, and interested in art and architecture.
Thank you so much for this incredible review! 😊 We’re absolutely delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your Secrets of Paris bike tour with Fabian. It’s wonderful to know that his knowledge of art, architecture, and French history helped bring the city to life throughout the ride. We also love hearing that the pace, route, and frequent stops made the 18 kilometers feel effortless — even with a bit of Paris rain along the way! Fabian’s positive attitude and passion for sharing the city truly make every tour special, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. Thank you again for such a thoughtful recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Paris someday!
Daniel was much more than a guide. He managed to synthesize the history, architecture, art, food, music and culture of Paris! He was interesting and engaging…all this while managing to keep us safe on our bikes! I highly recommend him and this active manner of touring Paris.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We love how you described Daniel—he really does have a special talent for bringing together all the elements that make Paris so unique. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him; he’ll be thrilled. It’s great to hear you enjoyed both the storytelling and the ride itself—staying safe while having fun is exactly what we aim for. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you on another ride soon! 🚲
Daniel was our guide. He was an excellent guide, speaker and historian. He made our tour come to life with his knowledge and comparisons of past and present were enlightening. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
Thank you for your great review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the bikes and felt comfortable after the tutorial—it really helps make the experience smooth from the start. Daniel will be thrilled to hear your kind words. He has a real gift for bringing Paris to life, and it’s wonderful to know his insights and storytelling made such an impact.

For the 5th time in Paris, only been to places we hadn't seen yet. Highly recommended!
Dank je wel voor je mooie review! Wat leuk om te horen dat jullie zelfs bij een 5e bezoek aan Parijs nog nieuwe plekken hebben ontdekt—that’s exactly what the Secrets tour is all about 😊 Bedankt voor de aanrader en hopelijk zien we jullie nog eens terug in Parijs! 🚲
