Lorenzo was so knowledgeable and so relaxed. Even though we have been around Paris a lot, I learned things I never knew. Highly recommend, even for those who have been To Paris many times.

Meeting and Pickup

Meeting point

  • Parking SAEMES, 7 Pl. de l'Hôtel de Ville, 75004 Paris, France

    The square is very large and therefore we recommend to carefully check first the address on Google maps and you'll be at the exact location. Your guide will wait for you at the lift entrance leading to the underground parking where our bikes are stored. THE GUIDE WILL BE HOLDING A RED UMBRELLA.

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Make your way to the meeting point at Place de l'Hôtel de Ville in central Paris before your tour time to meet your guide and small group of up to 10 people. After being matched with a suitable bike and helmet, your bike tour begins with a leisurely cycle around the Marais, where you’ll explore the old Jewish quarter and learn about Paris’ thriving LGBTQ+ scene.

Stop at Place des Vosges, the Hotel de Sens, and the Conciergerie, where your guide will introduce you to some of Paris’ most unique history, then cross the Pont-Neuf to explore the atmospheric Saint Germain des Pres quarter. Cycle in the footsteps of literary legends such as Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald as your guide paints a picture of 1920s Paris, then leave the busy streets behind for the shady lanes of the Luxembourg Gardens.

After about three hours of cycling and sightseeing, your tour ends back at the departure point.

This was a great experience! We ride bikes through the city and into small parts of town we would not have seen. Igor was a phenomenal guide! He told us so much info about the stops, took us to chocolate shop, the park to buy cappuccino, sit and enjoy the park like a Parisian. I would def do any tour with Igor again!

Interesting Parisian Sights
Patricia_F, Sep 2025
A great way to circle around the streets and neighborhoods of Paris. Timam was an excellent guide who informed us on history of many sights. Without him we would have missed many great finds.
Amazing experience, amazing host!
Kara_B, Sep 2025
10/10! Lorenzo was our guide and I cannot say enough. Paris by bike is the way to go and Lorenzo made it less intimidating, teaching us biking etiquette while sharing all of his knowledge of the city. Whether or not this is your first trip to Paris, book this tour!
A good way to see
Christine_T, Aug 2025
Great way to see the Marais and St- Germain, and learn about the fascinating history of this area. While you only cycle about four miles you need to be fairly confident riding in busy pedestrian areas.
Lovely day riding in Paris

Really fun and chill. Franc was a funny and relatable guide. Much less stressful than some other touristy things in Paris
Beautiful ride!
Theresa_F, Jul 2025
Lorenzo was delightful. While not from Paris, he was very passionate and knowledgeable about the history of the city. He even let us stop for macarons! Thank you Lorenzo

Tamim Was a great guide. He made sure that we saw all the cool little places on the tour all the nooks and crannies only the local.. it was excellent his knowledge, a history and the city and Parisians was great. Highly recommend..
Wonderful intro to beautiful Paris
Lauren_H, Jul 2025
Our guide, Igor, was lovely and very knowledgeable about French history. Most of the ride was within designated bicycle lanes and we felt safe the entire time. We stopped at many main highlights and learned so much. We also stopped a few times for water breaks or refreshments. My only complaint was that the meeting point was difficult to find because Google maps did not direct us to the correct location. My family, including 2 teenagers, thoroughly enjoyed it even in the unbearable 100 degree heat.

Informative, easy ride around cute areas of the city. Enjoyed our guide Shawn and his knowledge of French history
Sean was amazing!
Jill_A, Jun 2025
This was an amazing experience where we learned things about the history of Paris that we would have never known from going to the typical tourist sites, and all while having the fun of riding a bike down beautiful narrow stone streets. Not only was our guide Sean extremely knowledgeable and gave an excellent presentation at each of our stops, he took such great care in locating my daughter and I when not even our Uber driver could find the meeting place. Thank you to Sean for making this our most treasured experience in Paris yet!
Highly recommended tour

Fantastic morning in Paris
Thelma_R, May 2025
It was fantastic, got to see so many places it would take more than a day walking. Pablo was great!! His explanations of the areas and sites were entertaining. We were allowed to wonder around while he locked the bikes and helmets. The bikes were comfortable and good working order.
