Great Bike Tour in Paris

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. .

Great private tour with Andrea!

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.

Fabian is a great bike tour guide!

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.

Bike Tour of Paris

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.

The bikes were easy to use, we were given a full tutorial of their use and the length of the tour perfect.

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.
