Best Family-Friendly Bike Tours Worldwide: Our Top 7

1.Paris Sightseeing Family Friendly Guided Electric Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 405 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $78Our pick

Start at 10 Rue de la Paix with a safety lesson and practice session before riding a scooter-style electric bike through central Paris. Guides such as Roman, Ramon, Raymond, Philippe, and Thomas share history, manage the route, and take photos. You will see the Louvre, Notre-Dame, Eiffel Tower, Invalides, and more in about two hours.

“This is a great way to see all the main sites in a short space of time. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared useful info on each of the major sites we visited and also took photos for us. 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”

“2.5 hours on an e-bike was a perfect way to see the highlights around Sanur. Loved the variety of highlights- turtle rehab, rice fields, mangroves, local temple, the day fresh food market, and finished the ride with a delicious gelato. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and kept checking that those on the tour were happy and managing the bikes. I hadn't ridden a bike for many years so having a friendly guide who checked in regularly was very appreciated. #sanurvillageebiketour”

You will stop for a Belgian praline, see modern murals, and return to Market Square after 2.5 hours. Guides Ann and Nicole have both earned strong praise for their friendly, informative leading.

“We were lucky, we were with our own four-person party. The tour was a lot of fun. We saw and learned a lot. Also went to places you would have passed by otherwise. Good mix between biking and occasionally walking. The bike was moderate. The first bike the chain was right off, I got another one, the saddle sagged very slowly during the ride. The other bikes were fine. The guide was not easy to find. No sign or other landmark. After a phone call, we found each other. Meeting at bike rental place would be more convenient because we still had to walk there. Our guide (Ann?) was top…”
