Highlights
- Latin Quarter - The first half of the tour will be in this charming part of central Paris. One of the oldest parts of Paris, the Latin Quarter got its name from the Latin that was spoken by all of the La Sorbonne University students back in the days when Paris had one of the first international Universities in the world. You’ll love cycling on its tiny back streets and learning its vibrant history.

Surprising insights - We had a very rich, informative and at the same time relaxed experience browsing thru the historique neighbourhoods with our guide Ryan. He cared a lot for everyone feeling comfortable and made as feel at home going by bike in this vibrating city. Four hours might sound like a long trip but we passed them in an intense, brief moment - and the bikes although basic are sufficient for the purpose.

Excellent guide - Antoine our guide was excellent. Well prepared and informative. We visited places we would not have known about without his local knowledge.
It was not too busy and with only 4 in our group we covered a lot of ground. Highly recommend this experience.

A Great Way to Explore parts of Paris! - We spent about four hours biking through the Latin Quarter and Le Marais, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our time in Paris. The tour started and finished near Place Saint-Michel, and midway through we stopped for lunch in a quiet, traditional neighbourhood—no big crowds, just locals and a relaxed vibe (lunch wasn’t included, but there were great options). The pace of the ride was easygoing, and with just five of us plus the guide, it felt like a small, friendly group out exploring the city together. What made the ride special were the little discoveries: tucked-away courtyards, Roman ruins you’d never find on your own, and even an unexpected moment where we rolled right into the middle of an Emily in Paris film shoot (we got out of the way just in time!).
Our guide, Lulu, was excellent—personable, friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout. He shared a great mix of history, local insight, and humour, which really brought the neighbourhoods to life. If you have the option to choose your guide, definitely go with Lulu—you won’t be disappointed.
Highly recommend this experience if you want to explore Paris in a fun, relaxed, and unique way.

Absolutely recommend! - ES was really great, an absolute recommendation! The group was small (it was even split into two groups again when it was announced that we were about 15 people) and the guide was humorous, charismatic and did a really great job. You get to know Paris again and riding your bike through Paris is a lot of fun.

Dynamic way to experience Paris’ points of interest. - Highlight of my Paris trip 🤩 Super fun way to experience all the sights, Points of Interest & neighborhoods. A dynamic & interactive experience. Also, quite a relief for my tired feet to bike rather than walk…

Fun adventure! Expanded our Parisian experience! - Our tour guide, Marcel, was wonderful! Warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun…born and bred Parisian, he said.
Though it can be a little nerve wracking navigating the Parisian streets on a bike, Marcel made sure the group stayed together and no one was left behind.
We really loved seeing so many sights in a fun and informative way - it extended our ability to experience so much more of Paris on our relatively short 4-day trip.
Highly recommend! Just make sure you’re comfortable on a bike and around traffic!
