Overview

Do you know where the French Revolution was first planned? And what about the oldest historic district in Paris?
In every neighborhood, on every corner, this city reveals its true essence: a city of endless discoveries and we want to share its treasures with you. ❤️

On this 3-hour bike tour, we will take you to unique locations and share with you the bohemian stories of famous intellectuals like Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus; the whims of royal families such as de Medici, which gave life to the city's most beautiful palaces and buildings; and many other stories about great personalities, monuments and neighborhoods of Paris.

While landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre Dame Cathedral are undeniably iconic, they only scratch the surface of what this enchanting city has to offer. On an authentic Dutch bike‍♀️, we want to take you into the historical and cultural fabric of the city.

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)

Ook als je voor het eerst in Parijs bent is deze tour een aanrader! De highlights kun je zelf wel vinden, deze leuke onbekende plekjes misschien niet. Rene, onze gids, was een echte encyclopedie. Wij hadden het geluk met een kleine groep van 6 te zijn, dus alle ruimte om de verhalen te kunnen horen en vragen te stellen. Ik heb genoten, al was het soms (zeker in de spits) even spannend tussen al het verkeer. Zeker de moeite waard dus om te doen als je in Parijs bent.

Nous avons eu la chance de n'être que 2 pour cette balade ! C'était donc une visite privée avec un guide très sympa. Parcours au plus prêt des beaux monuments avec pauses explicatives. Et en cette saison c'était Paris by night!!
