“Biking around Paris with Holland tours this afternoon was great fun. Hannah made us feel like a friend was showing us around her city safely, and she is impressively tri-lingual with perfect English. We learned just enough about the sights and she was open to any questions and frequent stops, anticipating what a tourist new to Paris would want to see, snap photos, grab a glace and more. Do not hesitate to book this as your intro to Paris.”

The bikes are easy to handle and fun, but Paris traffic is quite scary in places. My only grumble is that the guide did not particularly slow down or check if everyone in the group was following, which could be scary if you were the last person in the small convoy and / or not a confident rider”

Our guide made sure to check up on everyone, assigning one of the more confident tour members to remain at the back to account for everyone while he drifted back and forth, giving directions when needed at the front then checking on everyone along the way.
