Overview

See the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre-Dame and other Paris essentials on a relaxed small-group bike tour, ideal for first-time visitors. Follow a knowledgeable local guide at an easy pace, with frequent stops for stories, insider tips and photos.

In a group of no more than 12 guests, ride past the Opéra Garnier, Place de la Concorde and Pont Alexandre III before continuing to the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame. You’ll cover more of Paris than you could on foot while still having time to enjoy each landmark.

Ride a high-quality Dutch city bike with a comfortable upright position, or upgrade to an e-bike for extra assistance. Your guide will help you navigate the city and share the history, anecdotes and local recommendations behind each stop before returning to the original meeting point.

A short refreshment break keeps the experience relaxed and gives you time to enjoy Paris along the way.
