Paris Local Districts and Off-the-Beaten Paths Guided Bike Tour

Loved being off the tourist trail & hearing the local knowledge & history. Marley was friendly, informative entertaining & personable. Just the right variety & pace. Thoroughly recommend .

There are knowledgeable, experienced, fun guides; and there are history majors who know all the depths of what on the tour. Marley is both! One of the best guides I've ever toured with (and I've had many excellent ones). I asked some obscure questions, and she knew the answers to them all. She also kept us safe biking around the traffic, pointed me to an excellent Middle-eastern food joint. At the end of the tour, she gave me a PDF of her recommendations. Holy cow! It reminds me of one of my college professors gave out notes in class so I could focus on paying attention to the lecture instead of scrambling to write stuff down! Marley's notes were polished but not generic.

The folks at the Peloton Cafe, where we met for the tour, were super friendly. That helped me, as an introvert. Marley had a flat in the middle of the tour---that set us back a bit but it was handled as fast as I could have expected. The bikes were in great condition (although mine rattled a bit over the coblestones). This is a small business and it's run like one, in a good way.

Terrific value. If it was in the summer, and there were more tours offered, I'd take them. I highly recommend it.

Absolutely fantastic bike tour of Paris. We really enjoyed the experience and knowledge our instructor had. Definitely worth it.

Ryan was a great tour guide. Very entertaining! He let us customize our private tour for our family to go get chocolate mousse. . It was a great way to see the the city! They even had a bike with a seat on the back for our daughter who can’t ride a bike yet.

We loved the bike tour with Cedric. I’ve been to Paris a few times but we explored totally new places like Arènes de Lutèce. His knowledge was amazing, definitely heading home with a better understanding of the history of Paris. Being on bike felt easy and safe, would totally recommend!

Simon gave us a very entertaining and informative tour. We completely enjoyed ourselves and would absolutely recommend this tour. This really is a hidden gems type of tour that took us to parts of Paris right in the middle of the city that we would never discover on our own. Simon is so friendly and funny and set a comfortable pace and tone that encouraged the group to engage with each other. 100% enjoyed this 4 hour tour!

Highly recommended tour if you want to skip the crowds of the larger monuments and experience the hidden gems of paris. The city has invested a lot in dedicated cycling lanes which made the activity perfectly safe. Cedric our guide was great and shared a lot of historical background on the places we visited. One of the highlights of our weekend trip!

Excellent tour! Definitely do this! You see off the beaten path sites and get the history of Paris along the way. We stopped for a bite and sip during the trip. This was one of the highlights of my trip. So glad I did it.

My family and I took this tour with guide Simon on the first day of our stay in Paris, and we are so glad we did! This is my parents’ first time in Paris and my fifth, and we all got something out of this tour.

Simon was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable, engaging, and funny - and we saw so much more than we ever would have on our own. The ride was fun and comfortable for riders of all ages and the length and pace were just right.

Prior to the tour we had a great light breakfast at the Peloton Café, and following the tour the company provided resources to identify where we’d been and their recommendations for places to eat and things to see.

We recommend Bike About Tours and guide Simon 100%!

Worth every penne you spend. Experience tour guide with excellent stories and place to visit. Would come back again with friends
