Whether it's your first or fifth time in Paris, this bike tour is the perfect way to travel from sight to sight at a leisurely pace. Getting around Paris by bicycle is the ideal orientation if you're new to Paris, and return visitors will discover new facts and hear new stories about the city they love. Either way, you are sure to agree that riding a bike is the best way to see Paris. Not the least bit strenuous, the bike tour is relaxing, energizing and fun. Stopping every few hundred yards for information and photo opportunities, the tour provides heaps of useful information, unique and fascinating stories, the opportunity to meet other travelers, and fantastic photo opportunities.
The bikes are comfortable and you'll receive superb personal service from your guide. During the day there is a break at a cafe nestled in the trees of the Tuileries Gardens. For a very reasonable price, you can enjoy a mouth-watering strawberry crepe, a delicious chicken sandwich on baguette bread, or creme brulee.
Sights on the Paris Bike Tour include: - Eiffel Tower - The most famous landmark in Paris. Built for the World Exposition of 1889. It stood as the tallest building in the world until New York's Chrysler Building in 1930.

- Napoleon's Tomb and Les Invalides - This is where you can find the most famous Frenchman of all - Napoleon. In 1789 French citizens stole tens of thousands of muskets from here to use in the raid on the Bastille. The Revolution had begun!
- Ecole Militaire - Literally translating to "military school" in English. Napoleon studied here and his discharge papers stated that he "could go far if the circumstances are right."

I also did a tour with this company in London and they are fabulous. The Paris tour takes you past many of the major sights and the guide has great stories about all of them. He was entertaining and funny - a must for keeping a large group engaged - and the ride was made as pleasant as possible. The bikes are very comfortable and the tour company makes sure everyone is at ease before and during the tour itself.
The staff also has great recommendations for local places to eat, markets to shop, and other things to do while enjoying Paris.
Highly recommended! 2011-10-23 kalyn6 , Started my birthday morning with the bike tour and it was amazing! Beautiful sites and excellent tour guide. I wholeheartedly recommend the tour, great way to see the city without having to walk it and learn its history. 2011-10-22 LaToya D , This tour was incredible. The best way to tour Paris. The weather was nice and our tour guide Matt was very knowledgeable and fun. The bikes were absolutely comfortable. I hadn't rode a bike in years and I was not even winded. We got a chance to hit the sites I wanted to see. You get to see the streets of Paris and be in the vibe of the city. The lunch stop was amazing. I met some really cool people on my tour. It was so relaxing. I would do it again over and over! 2011-10-14 Fashion Stylist , USA Fantastic! Was such a nice change to ride rather than walk to see the sites. Covered tons of ground at a nice leisurely pace. Loved that we stopped at the little outdoor cafe in the gardens of the Louvre for lunch. Totally recommend doing this bike tour! 2011-10-13 Catrona P , Good expercise and the tour guide was really fun.

Andree the dominator was awesome. Paris traffic is crazy and at no stage was it daunting. So professionally organized in a fun way. Loved how we could ask any questions. Lunch in the park was a high light and when we got back they became the tourist information centre with great tips and places to go. This tour made me fall in love with Paris and its history.
