    Simon rocked it. We did the "Hidden Paris" tour with our 2 kids (9 and 11) and it was a highlight of our trip. There hadn't been many tours because of COVID and we felt privileged to get such an awesome experience. Simon made it a really special time full of laughs...and took some awesome pics and videos for us. He took us on a couple extra special adventures that were only possible with so few tourists in the city! It was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend the tour to anyone and everyone! See Paris on a bike! It is like nothing else.

    Cycle to arc de triomphe... Approx 30min

    Bike about tours also rents out bikes. I decided to rent a bike for a day. Was great fun. I reserved via email. Arriving at peloton cafe, had to register amd provide id card (as deposit). And then i was off. Overall, had a great time cycling through town. What i liked: -nice staff -good bikes (3gears, good workijg break). -by cycling i was free to go whereever i liked A nice route:paris plage, obelisk, champs elysees, arc de triomphe, trocadero, eifel tower, rue moufetard, rue cremmueux, cimetier pere lachaise, and- if you have energue left-, sacre coeur. For those who are not used in cycling in traffic, download the map of paris cycling lanes and stick to these lanes. Parisian car drivers are definitely not used to cyclist.

    Great pictures everywhere .

    Best time we had in Paris in Europe. I know that is a big statement to make but is so true . I found this tour while searching the web for things to do in Paris I came across Jay Swanson's You Tube link, I have to give him credit for making our time in Paris so much better. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHwVc_PxdiCnfXhsLw2zplQ Anyway back to the tour , I have never paid for a tour and after doing this one, I plan to do them more often. It was really great with all the planes, trains, and boats we traveled on all over Europe to show up here and not have to worry about being anywhere for the day. After a few train rides we all got on bikes and followed the tour guide around and listened to some history, had a picnic under some trees, toured a castle, and met people from all over the world. pro tips = 1. wear comfortable shoes and clothes , I would suggest gym clothes. 2.bring euros to spend = you meet up early at their shop and you can get a drink and a snack, then you will need cash to buy food for the picnic. I would suggest 50 3. for the picnic = the tour guide will suggest 3 different places to buy meat then cheese then bread. I would suggest to ask for a place that sells already made sandwiches so you are not piecing the sandwich together at the picnic on the ground with your hands. 4. Bring a backpack = trust me on this = if you are staying in a hotel bring a towel from the hotel to place on the ground for your picnic or find a disposable table cloth or something to spread everything out on , also some sort of disposable silverware to slice your bread to make your sandwich in case you can not find pre-made sandwiches pro tip for the owners = 1.when giving the history lessons try to do this in the shade . 2.work with the vendors at the market to get pre-made sandwiches for the picnic 3 have the tour guide bring some sort of light blanket to place on the ground for your customers to sit on while picnicking. Small thing I know but imagine if you put all those together how much better an experience this would be.

    A picnic on the grounds of Versailles is the perfect stop on our tour.

    Sit down before you read this, because it's a math lesson on awesomeness. Great coffee + bike tours around Paris and surrounding areas × tour guides with amazing personalities and knowledge + laughs = Bike About Tours. From beginners to advanced cyclists, you'll enjoy seeing Paris or Versailles with these folks. Professional, engaging, and even a bit of humor tossed in...this is the way to enjoy Paris. My wife and I took the Versailles tour and we are already trying to find time to take another tour. We not only received knowledge of the sights, with some unique perspectives, but were guided to the best places in the market to buy all our picnic accoutrements. Wine - Check. Cheese - avoid the cranky lady and go to the Lady who speaks not only English, but "I speak Cheese" - Check. Crepes- Check. This is the best way to see Versailles. Our guide was Mark - a crazy Irishman with a certain je ne sais quoi. He made the day fun, safe, with a few laughs along the way. PRO TIP: the meeting point for your tours is also the owners of Le Peloton Cafe. (See my review on them for some more awesomeness). Start off with a cup of incredible coffee, a slice of carrot cake or a homemade waffle, and get ready for a day of fun. BONUS TIP: ask about their NIGHT bike tour of Paris. (I think it's called the Twinkle Tour. ;-) OK, math test is over. Please put down your pencils and pick up the phone and call these guys to book your tour. They will not disappoint.

    The bike tour exceeded our expectations. We went into this to get a better feel of the city on our second day in Paris and we where taken to the most beautiful places that we would not have been able to find within a few hours on foot. Our tour guide, Emma, was one of the reasons why we loved the tour and would recommend her highly. She was informative, organized, and made it fun. It's an overall great experience to anyone that wants to discover and get a better understanding of the heart of Paris.

    We loved our experience with Bike About Tours!!! Our tour guide Charlotte was amazing: very personable, friendly, and filled with great information we'll remember even after our trip. Although the tour is about 4 hours, it went by really quickly and we weren't exhausted by the end. I always felt safe during the tour! She did a great job explaining our route and making gestures so we knew where to follow. Only a few main roads during the course, they've perfected their route to make sure we are safe and comfortable. Overall would definitely recommend this company and this tour for your time in Paris!

    We took the Versaille's tour with Bike About Tours - Dan was our guide. He made it easy for our group. We were all Americans and appreciated his excellent English along with knowledge of French history. The owners are awesome as well. Very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend Bike About Tours.

    I was just hoping for a bike tour through locals-only bike territory around Paris but what we experienced was so much more. Bianca was a delightful informative guide. We biked- we saw- we experienced-and OMG we learned something! Afterwards We walked around and looked at things with a different perspective. Additionally, We felt confident to rent the bikes from a VELIB bike station and explore some more....although I did get kicked out of the Jardin des Tuileries...oops. We hope to do the tour of Versailles next time. Highly recommended.

Even though it's…read morerecommended for 12+, and is a late-night excursion, he's an excellent bicyclist and regularly bicycles in longer trips at home, so I knew he'd be fine, and he stayed up by the tour guide in front the whole time. We heard a lot of compliments from other tourists who enjoyed him, but beware, if your child is NOT a good bicyclist, or well practiced in bicycling, please do not subject other tourists to them-we heard a couple of horror stories of other bicycle tours where this was the case.) This bicycle tour was fantastic! The guide was knowledgeable and the locations were spot-on. Highly recommend if you (like us) only have a few days in Paris, as you can see so much on this tour! The sunset boat tour was absolutely stunning as we boated past the lit up Eiffel Tower, but my highlight was riding around the Louvre (also at sunset). Stunning tour was definitely a highlight!

    3.2 kmMontmartre, Pigalle, 18ème

    April 11, Montmartre Pastry and Chocolate Food Tour, Paris…read more Our family of four with a son 9 and daughter 10 did a pastry and chocolate tour through Montmartre and it ended up being a really fun way to explore the area. Arrival and First Impressions The group was small, just our family and another family, which worked out well. The shops we visited were tiny so taking turns going in and out was part of the experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and walked us through side streets, small parks, and local spots we would never have found on our own. The Highlights We stopped at six different locations including chocolatiers, bakeries, and pastry shops. Highlights included a choux pastry, crepes, madeleines, artisan eclairs, and multiple chocolate tastings. The final stop for hot chocolate and macarons was excellent. The macarons were so good we ended up buying some to bring home. The tour was not just about food. We saw the Love Wall, hidden streets, and learned about the history of Montmartre including small details about the neighborhood that made it feel more personal. The Challenges The guide did not have a very loud voice so in a bigger group it might have been harder to follow, but with our small group it worked fine. Would We Return Yes, especially to try a different tour. It was a great mix of food and exploring. Final Thoughts This tour is a great way to experience Montmartre beyond just walking around. The combination of food, history, and hidden locations made it a memorable and worthwhile experience.

    Their ticket purchasing process is misleading and unethical. You go about filling our information,…read morelike you do for many websites, but unlike any other website, you hit the "Next" button (for the third time) and suddenly you have purchased the ticket, without any opportunity to review your tour date, number of participants or even credit card info. All the previous "Next" buttons led to the next step in the process, as is implied by the word and as you would expect, but not this one - it is the final confirmation of purchase even though there is NO indication that this is about to happen. Then they tell you that there are no refunds under any circumstances and that the credit and ticketing laws do not apply to them. Perhaps this is because they are based in Cyprus, which I assume they have chosen precisely to evade regulations. Note that they say there are no refunds no matter what - even if your overall trip gets cancelled or the tour gets cancelled or the guide does not show up. Be very careful, or better yet, avoid these folks and do any of the other more legitimate tours out there for wherever you are travelling to.

Exactly at 0800 our guide, Quentin, arrived at our hotel with our driver in a new Porsche Panamera sedan for our trip to Versailles. Quentin was personable, friendly, and a wealth of information about Versailles. He handled all the arrangements and escorted us throughout virtually all of the accessible areas of the palace. He had also arranged for our lunch at Ducasse (yes, an Alain Ducasse restaurant located within the Versailles palace - see separate review of the restaurant, under Ore - Ducasse au Chateau de Versailles - spoiler - very, very good). Quentin had an amazing range of knowledge about the palace and about the furnishings and artwork throughout. He was highly informative without overloading us with too much detail, and where appropriate, he simply got us to another amazing location and let us look around for ourselves. His special guide permit allowed him (and us) to enter many of the rooms that require separate tickets to enter, and we bypassed some bunches of visitors through doors only accessible by licensed Versailles guides. We visited on a cold January day (high was 40F that day) and that kept the crowds away. Quentin kept exclaiming that he had never seen so few visitors in Versailles. That was great for us, as we never felt crowded and in fact were all by ourselves in some of the rooms of the palace. Following a great lunch, Quentin escorted us to the Petite Trianon and to the fantasy village built for Marie Antoinette. Quentin pointed out how the palace, the Parc de Versailles, the landscaping were all carefully designed to awe visitors. Most visitors would never know how the hill that leads from the palace down to the statute of Apollo is designed to trick the eye and make new surprising vistas appear as you progress. Or how the lake was designed to make it feel much longer and farther through subtle engineering. We also would never have known all the inside meta-symbology is spread throughout the palace and the art. All the associations with Apollo for Louis XIV (the "Sun King") hidden within the columns, wall and ceiling decorations mean a lot more when you know why they are designed that way. After a full day of Versailles palace, Petit Trianon, and Marie Antoinette's fantasy village, we were glad to see our driver waiting for us on a street right next to the fantasy village, so we didn't need to hike a mile back to the palace parking areas. We had a nice ride back to our hotel. Highly recommended - we had an exceptional time. Quentin was a wonderful tour guide, and we appreciated his excellent English and encyclopedic knowledge of Versailles and the history of the French aristocracy.
