In a word: awesome. In a few more words: Thor knows Paris, but more importantly, he knows *how to show you* Paris. Thor showed us around the Luxembourg Gardens, parts of St-Germain, Montmartre and more! He couldn't have been friendlier or more informative. And the beer recommendations were great, too! I can't thank him enough for an excellent afternoon.

Having just arrived in Paris Thor took us on a fantastic bike tour which really helped us to get our bearings and combined a fun ride with some historical knowledge. The tour took us along the Seine seeing Notre Dame, the Louvre, Hotel deVille and the Orsay museum. We cycled along the Champs- Elysees to the Arc de Triomphe ( stopping there for a photo.) We stopped again to view the Eiffel Tower and see the Trocadero and cycled past the Grand and petit Palais, Napoleon’s dome and the Saint Michel fountain. Thor obviously has a lot of experience and communicated brilliantly from our first contact and I’d therefore highly recommend him, my family and I loved it!

Due to a change in plans we ended up with just a little more than one full day to visit Paris. Disappointing, especially since it was our first visit. We were a group of four, including our parents, who are less mobile which made this last minute trip to such a big city even more daunting. For this reason I booked a 4 hour “Introduction tour”. Unfortunately, before we arrived, our parents had reached their limits and choose, the night before, not to go. Thor was surprised and concerned and immediately offered to come up with a new plan. I assured him it was ok and off we went. This was the start of what turned out to be one of best tours we have ever done. Thor was as humorous, considerate, and as helpful as everyone says. We ended up doing a full day tour, completely unexpected, but we enjoyed every minute of it. We zig zagged all over Paris on foot (by choice, of course) seeing a local farmer’s market, Luxembourg Gardens, Pantheon, the Louvre, Palais Garnier, Galeries Lafayette, and Moulin Rouge before finally making it to the Montmartre area for a sandwich and some craft beer. After an enjoyable lunch we wandered over to Sacre Coure and then headed back home passing the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Thor filled us in on some French culture, avoiding scam artists, and allowed me plenty of time to stop and take a bunch of photos. Thor also helped me in the bargaining process too, not only did I get a light up Eiffel tower for my daughter but I got a few key chains and a magnet thrown in without getting taken to the cleaners. Although it seemed at first that our visit to Paris might be a little disappointing it turned to be a fantastic day. As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Thanks Thor for a fantastic day!

On July 8th we arrived in Paris at approx. 9:30am after an overnight flight from Dallas. We checked into the hotel and met Thor downstairs shortly after noon. Right off the bat we knew we had made a good decision. We started with a short walk to the train station and learned how to navigate the metro. With his help we felt confident and safe taking the train. From there we traveled all over the city using the train and with A LOT of walking. For six hours we explored just about all of the major attractions that we wanted to see, stopped for a bite to eat and ended with some pitchers of beer! Due to time constraints, we were not interested in going into to Louve but decided to check it out from the outside. Just an example of his willingness to personalize our tour. Within our day, we experienced areas of Paris we would have never explored on our own and became acclimated with the city as a whole. It was magical! As many others have said, it felt like you were exploring the city with an old friend. He was kind, patient, knowledgeable and a joy to be with. I highly recommend a tour with Thor to get your bearings and hit the areas that are important to you! He’s flexible and wants to make your tour just what you desire. Because of our packed tour day, it made the rest of our stay in Paris much more enjoyable and relaxing. Do not hesitate to book!

Thor was responsive to a day-before request. We wanted to bike in the countryside, and getting out of Paris on a Saturday seemed like an especially good idea for various reasons. The express train out to Rambouillet is under 40 minutes and completely changes the equation re what is a pleasant excursion from Paris without wasting too much on travel time and without having to bring bikes from Paris onto the train. It's a lovely town and Thor knows the buildings, gardens, and forest paths well, for optimal timing.

Third taught us how to buy tickets and navigate the metro and bus. We walked all over the city based on our interests. He answered all our questions and recommended a number of restaurants. Book it!

I contacted Thor late on a Saturday night asking for a bike tour on Sunday. He not only accomodated us but picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Rambouilet where we picked up our bikes and took a 3 hour tour around the village environs. The tour was one of the highlights of our 10 days in France. Thank you, Thor!

I can't thank Thor enough for all he did for our large school group of 28! Thor was not only our tour guide, but he was also our friend and helper. We had some logistics issues, and Thor was always there for advice, in person or via text. He is so easy to reach, and his responses are detailed and on target. At the end of our stay, Thor even helped us to return rented vans and fill them with gas beforehand since we didn't have a credit card that would work at the unmanned pumps. I highly recommend contacting Adventure Tours France so that Thor can make your stay near Rambouillet or in Paris fun and worthwhile!

This was a rather quick morning visit to Rambouillet, on my way to Chartres by train. Thor met me in front of the station, and drove me around - to the Chateau and its grounds, a trip into the forest, and a stroll through the town, showing me many things I never would have noticed on my own. While Rambouillet may never become known as a major tourist attraction, I hope to go back with my wife and spend most of a day there, largely because of Thor. By the way, Rambouillet makes a very feasible combination with Chartres as a daytrip, if you get an early start and study the rail schedules.

Thor was great at planning and knowing what was open and close the along way from tours to Versailles professional reasonable pricing you can't go wrong

I would recommend everyone to experience this day tour in the forest of Rambouillet with Thor of Adventure Tours. We went to Rambouillet on a day drip in October 2015. Thor is an amazing guide and made us experience cycling through beautiful forests that looked more beautiful with the fall season. We visited a Farm where fresh goat cheese was made..and yes our lunch was by the lakeside on a very stylish and authentic wooden bench. We cycled about 30km in 4 hours. Excellent organisation by Thor. Cycling with mountain bikes was amazing !Looking forward to revisiting Rambouillet!!

I coincidentally met Thor while searching for a bike store in Rambouillet. I was having some problems with my bike and he nicely offered to repaire them and brought me to all the stores I needed in order to buy extra supplies. He ended up giving me a lovely tour of Rambouillet ( Discover Tour), showing me the local sites as well as giving me very helpful tips about biking in the area. Thor is a very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, he easily adapts to your speed and capacities. I had a great experience, I definitely recommend a bike tour with Thor to anyone looking to get out, get active and enjoy all the wonderful things the region has to offer.

We had such a great day, we did the Explorer Tour together with Thor. We passed by a goat farm where we bought some delicious goat cheese and honey, which we ate afterwards on our bagettes during a picknick at the lake. Later we went on trough the woods, visited an old monastery, and continued to have a meal at another lake again (or it was the same like, but another part of it, I don't remeber :)) Thor was a great tour gide, we had a perfect day on the mountain bike! It was a heavy tour though, I think we did some 60km that day! But it was nice to have some exercise and burn some calories after enjoying all the culinary highlights Paris has to offer. :) I would definately recommend doing this tour, it was great experience!

It’s no secret that biking is the best way to get to know a place. You see the sights at the right pace, travel like a local, and you can easily stop to explore. This was the best way to see the French countryside and all those châteaux, forest and lakes around Rambouillet! We could have the perfect combo of style and substance, I would totally recommend Adventure Tours France with Thor to anyone who is looking for a combination of riding (with plenty of challenges), genuine French experience to remember and an incredible local knowledge make for a holiday to remember! We had a really well thought-out itinerary, challenging yet fun rides, and lots of great food when off the bike (and yet very close to Paris!) Thor, I'll be back for more!!

I have done a number of city bike tours around Europe and decided that in Paris, since I had done the tourist sights to death, that I wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle and see the forest, some cute villages and have a day in the fresh air! I stumbled across Adventure tours and I'm so glad I did, I ended up having a tour to myself where Thor have me multiple options of routes to do, things I wanted to see, where and when I made stops and how long I went for. It was like nothing I had done before and exactly what I wanted/needed. The forest of Rambouillet is absolutely beautiful and has many different areas and villages aswell as stunning lakes where we stopped to eat our goats cheese and baguette that we had picked up along the way at a local goat farm! We also visited an amazing Abbey where I took 101 photos as it's was really something special. We rode for about 5 hours with some stops and i enjoyed so much being able to see all these beautiful parts of the country only 35 minutes out of Paris. If your looking for something different and a day or half day out of the city then I would definitely recommend this. It's for people who just want to go at an easy pace and see some sights and then also can be tailored for those wanting a mountain bike adventure. As I was on my own I got a bit of both which was perfect. Absolutely amazing value for the price and cannot be compared to any other tours!
