Review of Paris Bike Tour Hidden Secrets, covering Latin Quarter and Le Marais sights, safety, value, stops, food break, and practical tips.
“This hidden gem bike tour was very interesting and informative. Our tour guide Joris (Joe) was amazing! He made it easy to find him in the meeting spot which had the meeting spot “fountain” hidden by white market tents and construction. This construction/obstruction of the fountain could/should be noted in the meeting point instructions. The bikes are all new and in good condition. One of my brakes was squeaky and didn’t work real well alone but with both front and rear brakes together it stopped ok. It would have been very helpful if the bikes had a basket, OR at the very least info in the instructions advising that one…”

“We all agree that Ryan made this tour absolutely perfect. His theatrical experience brought this tour to life. His knowledge of the history of France/ Versailles was impressive and he relayed it to our diverse group very well. The whole group was laughing and having an amazing time. Market experience was great and Ryan gave great pointers on food to buy. Riding the bikes around the grounds of Versailles and the picnic by the Grand Canal was so picturesque. There’s no better way to do this experience! It is worth the day trip away from Paris :)!!”
