      Paris Monuments highlights
      Our tour guide did a great job navigating our group around the city to all the monuments despite the challenges of road closures due to the upcoming Olympic Games. Our guide was friendly and capable, however we were looking for a guide that could share deeper knowledge into Paris history versus the limited facts she shared with our group. I would recommend finding a guide that has a background in French history who can make this experience exceptional.

      INSIGHT INTO PARIS
      Amazing fun interactive and outdoor way to see the "sights" of Paris over a few hours - allowing one to get a great feel for direction and location of where one should head too over ones stay. Jasmin was super friendly, very knowledgable and I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone arriving in Paris.

      Great bicycle tour of Paris with Kevin
      Kevin, a dutch tour guide did a great job leading us safely in a not too fast pace through the center of Paris. None of our group went yäby an Electric bike so we all moved in the same pace. Three hours flew by and with all the stops it was also no problem for those not used to bicycle rides,. Great explanations made it a very memorable evening for those who are not familiar with Paris but also for those who had visited Paris several times before.

      A lovely ride around Paris
      We hired our bikes from Holland Bikes, it was an easy process, the staff were very helpful, the bikes were great. Riding in Paris is very easy and we saw so much more than we would have by walking. A good experience that I would recommend.

      Favorite activity of our Paris stay
      We absolutely loved our bike tour! Being low season in November, our family (parents & teen) were the only ones on the tour. Finding our way to the meeting spot was just a bit tricky as you have to make your way into the underground parking and the door was locked. Luckily someone who had a card to enter arrived. Our guide, his name was Denzin (or something really close- sorry) was on time and was super nice. He had us get our bikes and try them out to be certain the heights were right for the bike and seats. Leaving the immediate area was a little hectic with the traffic but we managed. Once out on the roads, you are on the bike paths but still need to be cautious as it is dark at this time of year and there are other bikes, pedestrians and street crossings. Our guide gave us historical information on our stops and always kept his eye on us while biking. When we wanted to stop for pictures we did so. It's not a hard bike ride, no high-level fitness needed, just caution and full attention to your surroundings. This was by our favorite activity of our stay in Paris. It was something out of the ordinary and fun. I highly recommend doing it and hopefully you get the same guide we had!

      Loved it
      Just did this with my two teens last night (June 2023) and loved it. We had a great tour leader who was very kind and knowledgeable. The description on this site is not complete - it describes only one site but we biked and saw and learned about many beautiful landmarks in Paris. We were done before the sunset but the bikes are equipped with lights back and front. There was a lot of traffic but when the light changes and some of the group did not make it through, the tour guide waited up ahead. My favorite part (other than the actual biking through Paris) was seeing many new places that I will now go back and revisit.

      OK Dutch bike tour, but limited
      The bicycle tour mainly along Paris's right bank was fine, but limited. Unfortunately did not go down to the Arc de Triumph or Eiffel Tower, a disappointment. The young man leading the tour was quite knowledgeable as far as the itinerary took us.

      Rent a bike for the day from Holland Bikes. You won’t be disappointed.
      I rented a bike for the day from Holland Bikes. The online reservation system worked flawlessly, and immediately sent me a confirmation with details about how to find and unlock my bike. I had a little trouble finding the bike in the parking garage. It’s on the far northern end of the first level underground (-1), if you don’t see it, just keep walking. When I accidentally rented the wrong type of bike, they changed my reservation on the spot, and found me the bike I wanted. The bike was in top condition and came with a great combination lock that was easy to use. My only minor complaint is that the back break was a bit soft. But I found that if I pumped it a few times, it work a lot better. When I had trouble turning on the pedal assist, I called them and got excellent introduction on how to do it. I had a fabulous day of pedaling all over Paris. I’ve rented a lot of ebikes all over the world and I would give Holland Bikes the highest marks for equipment and customer service.

      Great bike tour
      Jason, the tour guide is the best part of the tour. He adjusted the tour according to what the group wanted. The group I was in liked photographing, so he made sure he took us along to good spot of photos and give us plenty of time to taking photos. Jason, thank you the tour. I had a lovely time. I will use this tour again.

      Dangerous
      If you are not extremely good at city biking, this tour is not for you. You will be weaving in and out of cars, crossing busy streets, and for most of the tour you will be biking in between parallel parking spots and zooming cars on a two lane highway with no bike path. Especially since it is at night, this is terrifying. The guide ran a red light, and I followed him and almost got killed. The tour itself did not make up for it. He only hit the major sites and did not explain them well. I would pass on this one.

    We really enjoyed the three-hour bike tour to the city's sights despite the persistent rain and it was a highlight of our visit to Paris. Our guide Jasmin impressed us with her knowledge of the sights and history of Paris and answered all of our questions in a very competent and friendly manner. The bike tour is highly recommended.

    Cycling through Paris is a challenge. Cycling through Paris with children is a very big challenge. We took the highlights bike tour with our 2 kids (8 and 11 years old). In my opinion, the group of cyclists was too large (16 cyclists). This made it difficult to cycle as a group with all the zebra crossings, traffic lights and hustle and bustle of the city center. This also made our guide's story difficult to follow at times. The guide was very enthusiastic and nice. Communication via email and website was excellent.

    Great guide! Very knowledgeable. She deftly led us through traffic on bikes that I would never have attempted on my own. Saw lots of the "main" sites with good background and interesting stories. Bikes were comfortable and easy to navigate. A highlight of our visit to Paris!

    A hint: If you're trying to make the morning tour on a weekday, give yourself twice as much time as you'd think. They leave right on time!

    I had already been to Paris a few times, always with a group and I always wanted to cycle through Paris, none of the people in the group wanted to, but now I was alone and I did it now and thought it was a nice experience. Normally you spend a lot of time in the metro and you don't see much of the city. In the future, when I visit again, I would like to rent a bicycle and explore the city. By the way, I didn't go with Holland Bikes, I couldn't participate in this alone, so I went through BAJA Bikes Verhuur, this is possible and it also rents out bicycles.

    Highly recommended for anyone who loves cycling and wants to see a large number of Parisian highlights in a short time. My son (16 years old) and I easily booked the tour online and easily found access to the underground bicycle shed.
    The fact that the weather was not entirely good was fully compensated by our good-natured guide HannaH. An added benefit of the rainy day was that we were lucky enough to get a private tour. Our guide HannaH was therefore able to respond very skilfully to the world of a 16-year-old and her large stock of "facts" gave the various highlights something realistic and tangible.
    After a good two hours and a half we agreed... super cool experience!

    We had to book a last minute tour when a different company cancelled our tickets to the top of the Eiffel Tower. This turned out to be an even more amazing time! Sarah was our guide for 3+ hours and she knew so much about the city. Every stop we were at she had interesting info about that building and almost every other building we could see. We spent months planning our time in Paris and she gave us a tour of things we wanted to see and more. Highly recommend this for everyone!

    My tour was cancelled because I was the only registered participant. As France only re-opened recently and is still in a post-covid operation mode, I understand the speciality of the situation, but I think Holland Bikes should make it obvious on their site that single bookings will be cancelled if nobody else registers, and also, I was not satisfied with the speed of the return of my payment. Once I complained, they acted fast though, so altogether they seem to be a reliable business, and their contact person was super kind and helpful. I hope things will get better for touristic services soon, I understand that it must be really hard now.

    A great time with the family. The tour was in English but our guide René spoke good French which simplified the visit. We take the time which allows us to take full view and enjoy the beauties of Paris.

    Our guide Renee was nice but didn’t know a lot of history or interesting details of the places on our route so it felt more like a ride through Paris rather than a tour. We could have rented bikes and done the same. Plus the tour was done in 2 languages which bit into our time at the end of the tour and it didn’t help that our guide arrived late. Wouldn’t repeat this tour with this company.

    Super fun! We had Ruben as our guide. He talked very enthusiastically about all the beauty and about the history of Paris. We cycle along the Seine, through the most beautiful squares and through shopping passages. We even ate from his 'highlights folder', shared via the app, tonight in a super nice restaurant in Montmartre. Top day.
