Itinerary
Discover the elegance of Place Vendôme, one of Paris’s most iconic squares. Framed by grand 18th-century architecture, it’s home to luxury boutiques and the famous Ritz Hotel. Marvel at the towering Vendôme Column, inspired by Trajan’s Column in Rome, and learn about its Napoleonic history while soaking in the square’s timeless charm.
Visit the largest square in Paris, where history and grandeur collide. Admire the Luxor Obelisk, a 3,000-year-old Egyptian monument, and take in views of the Champs-Élysées and Tuileries Garden. This square witnessed key moments of the French Revolution and now stands as a symbol of Parisian elegance.
As we ride along the lower section of the Champs-Élysées, between Place de la Concorde and Pont Alexandre III, enjoy views of the tree-lined avenue and its classic Parisian charm. This quieter stretch leads into the grandeur of the city's most famous boulevard—just a taste of the iconic Champs-Élysées.
Spot the elegant Petit Palais, built for the 1900 World’s Fair. With its golden gate and Beaux-Arts design, it now houses the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts.
Facing the Petit Palais, the Grand Palais impresses with its massive glass dome. This monumental building hosts major exhibitions and fashion shows, and it’s an architectural blend of steel, stone, and innovation.
Cross one of Paris’s most beautiful bridges, a masterpiece of Beaux-Arts architecture. With its gilded statues, ornate lampposts, and panoramic river views, Pont Alexandre III connects the Champs-Élysées to the Invalides. We stop here to learn about the Petit Palais, Grand Palais and the Invalides Dome. Plus... It’s a perfect photo spot!
Catch a view of the golden dome of Les Invalides, a former military hospital and now Napoleon’s final resting place.
Get up close with the Iron Lady herself. From this viewpoint, take in the sheer scale of the Eiffel Tower and learn about its bold debut at the 1889 World’s Fair. It’s the ultimate Paris icon—perfect for photos and a quick history bite before continuing your ride.
We take a little break on the lower Quai of the Seine.
As we ride along the Seine, look across to the Musée d’Orsay. This former train station is now home to world-class Impressionist art—think Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas—all housed in a striking Beaux-Arts building.
The world’s most visited museum. Take in the striking contrast between the classical palace and the modern glass pyramid. Though we won’t go inside, you’ll get the highlights—from royal palace to art treasure trove—right in the historic heart of Paris.
Admire the grand Hôtel de Ville, Paris’s city hall since the 14th century.
Pause in front of the majestic Notre-Dame, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Hear tales of medieval Paris, and it's fascinating stories as you enjoy this iconic riverside view.
Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in Paris! Completed in 1607, it was the first to be built without houses and offers classic views of the Seine and Île de la Cité.

We really enjoyed our Bike Tour around Paris. This is a great way to see the city in a short period of time. Our guide was very knowledgable during our stops and it was a relaxed way to explore the sights. We will definitely use this type of tour in other cities in future travels.
Great way to see some of the main sites in central Paris. Even my reluctant teenage sons loved it!
Our tour guide, Jasmine, was fantastic!! She showed us all the main sights, and had a very vast knowledge of Parisian history - so the tour was extremely informative and interesting. She also packed in other places that she thought we would find interesting. We got many activity and restaurant recommendations from her. I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris.
The bike tour was beyond amazing. Great bikes, an amazing layout for the tour, great stops for a little history and some pictures. Edde, our guide, was amazing. Connecting with each person, calling us by name, getting to know a little about everyone and helping us learn about Paris and get some great pictures!
Great guide, nice bikes, good route, good fun. It poured with rain but that did not dampen our enthusiasm.
The guide was very informative and went at a good pace making sure nobody was left behind. He stopped by and gave a background on all the important buildings and also made sure to stop by for water breaks and toilet. I loved our tour as we got to see more of paris vs foot or car! I highly recommend. Thank you!
Our tour guide Rob was fantastic. We had a wonderful 3 hour ride around Paris and he was very knowledgeable and made the day so much more enjoyable. My family and I highly recommend Holland Bikes and if you get Rob as your guide, it’s an added bonus. Thanks
One of the best tours ever! Our host Ellen was super, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. We were a small group which was really nice. The route was the highlight tour which for me, as a first time visitor of Paris, was great. Got to see all the highlights in a short time. Would highly recommend, and if possible; ask for Ellen!
It was raining for nearly the first hour of our tour, but Paul was able to keep us distracted with all of the beautiful sites to see in Paris! He was engaging, very knowledgeable & fun.
This company is really on the ball with their tour. The guide was informative without being boring. He took us to all the top sights and covered the main points of Paris in 3 hours. It was easy to ride, bike lanes felt safe, we got around faster than the cars, and it really was a lot of fun. Recommend highly for all!
We saw so much and the guides were very attentive and knowledgeable. It was an excellent tour.Would highly recommend.
The only way to see so much of the city without getting tired. And our guide Kevin was not only skilled in navigating the crowds and traffic but told stories that were fun for me and for my 11 year old daughter. Highly recommend!
The tour was amazing. Freezing during winter but the sights were beautiful. We were riding at an easy pace and was comfortable following the guide.
Rene was an awesome tour guide. Stopped all major landmarks and very knowledgeable of history. So much fun!
Orelie was a wonderful guide. We saw many great buildings in Paris. There are many cars in Paris, but it's save to youse a bicycle.
Several museums on the way for example “Petit Palais”, information on the architecture and a lot of history. Overall very interesting.
we had the Paris Highlights Bike Tour which was done with enthausiasme by the guide, she answerd all the questions we had while passing the highlights of paris
Great experience, with guide Hanah, patient, professional, and nice. It was a 3 hours tour in Paris, I thinks the best touring experience we had
Our guide Jasmine was fantastic. Her knowledge was plentiful and explanations were interesting. A great way to explore this stunning city of Paris. Had to be very alert on the roads while riding amongst the cars and other bikes. Intersections were very busy and the buses come close to you on the road. Made the adventure more exciting and would recommend for families with teenage kids. Nicole
Amazing experience the guy it's so nice and gentle. The people that work here is competitive and professional. Thank you 🙏
We did a two hour bike tour in Paris with three teenagers. We all had a great time so all the highlights of Paris and some interesting history that we had not known before our guide was great very informative and very personable. A great way to get an overview of the city!
Great way to start your stay In Paris. You get to know all the special places and our guide Jasmin was great and full of knowledge
Great morning out Jasmine was fabulous. The group was a little too big and on busy streets difficult to stay together.
The staff were great and Jasmine did a great job showing us around and explaining the sights! When I asked about finding a Paris biking t-shirt, she went above and beyond to take us by a shop. She even asked if we had more time because she wanted to show us more but unfortunately we had another appointment. I would highly recommend for experiencing the wonderful new cycling infrastructure of Paris!
The ride took in many of the major features. Yhe tour guide, Ruben, was excellent. The information given at each stop was perfect, informative and put a real historical context on all the sights visited. We highly recommend this tour.
We had the best guide ever, Tenzin - He took the time to tell us some very good stories about France and what we saw on the way.
We booked for our first day in Paris and our plane was delayed. They allowed us to change to another tour time. Then we overslept and arrived late (jet lag!). They quickly outfitted us with bikes and escorted us to catch up to the group at the first stop. We are very grateful that they helped us even though we were at fault. Our guide was excellent and loves giving tours. It was a great experience for an overview of the city and brief history.
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!
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!
Great tour guide, great introduction to Paris and the sites. Sets you up nicely to revisit on your trip. Only disappointing thing is others who arrive late and delay the show.
Hannah was wonderful, thank you for a fun and educational tour. June is hot so take plenty of water.
Lovely tour with a great friendly guide! We felt we saw all the good parts of Paris and got a great lesson in the history of the place. The bikes were all well looked after and in good condition.
This bike tour company was fantastic, we had a great day exploring Paris full of fun and information. I would highly recommend this company to everyone We had Marlene as our tour guide and she was amazing
This tour was an excellent choice! The guide was friendly and informative and told us a lot about the city. As we were the only participants, he catered it to our interests and also gave us recommendations for the rest of our stay. Thank you!
Jose was an enthusiastic amusing and knowledgeable guide. We had a wonderful bike tour of the major Paris sites with interesting and informative historic detail. A really memorable morning
The best way to see Paris. Our guides were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we covered so much ground on our trip. I feel like we saw and learnt about all the major sites. Wonderful experience.
I throurougjky enjoyed my bike ride around the city today. René , our guide done a great job explaining the history of all the sights . It was quite an experience to cycle the roads of Paris, finishing by cycling up the Champs Elysées! Really straight forward , would recommend to anyone 😊
Bad breaks on several bicycle! There were atlest 50 new bikes in the garage!!Dangerous trafic and difficult redlight when the group was so univen. Shold bee a age limit. And the group must stick together. The stops were all in the hot sun! The youngest did not nearley make it back. Krister o Kristina
The guide was very respectful, organized, and informative. We had a great experience and it was a great first exposure to Parisien monuments
Thanks to Jasmine for a wonderful tour. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about the city and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Fantastic value. Couldn’t recommend it more!
They cancelled it and I asked to be rescheduled and they never came back to me They texted to say it was cancelled and would I like another slot, I replied twice - and no one came back to me So sad - my son and I were really looking forward to it
Our tour guide was sooooo full of interesting information. We covered a lot of territory in Paris too. Ideal! Kudos to Jazmine!!!
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.
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.
We enjoyed our bike tour with Marc tremendously. Marc is friendly, informative, fun, and we enjoyed our conversation, as well as his excellent bike guidance skills navigating the paths and streets of Paris, and the various stops where he would give us historical and cultural information. We did this the first morning after we arrived, and were very glad. It helped us navigate the Metro system the rest of the trip, as well as decide where we wanted to tour in our remaining days. Marc gave us good tips on getting around as well. It turned out to be just my husband and myself so we had a private tour. It was grey and chilly in November, but bracing and fun. We had some drizzle, even hail! We did wait out a spell of heavier rain under an awning. Marc carried rain jackets if we wanted them. We stopped for some warm crepes and hot drinks at one point. We were very happy to finish down the Champs Elysées. The bikes are basic and work fine. Highly recommend this tour!
Did the night tour and it was a great experience overall, especially as the guide timed the tour exactly to see the Effiel Tower light up at night. Got a great video from it.
Our guide Mark was great, fun and informative!!!! The bikes are nice, the pace was good and we saw many sights. Mark also gave us recommendations on a dinner place, train instructions and other places of interest to go see. I highly recommend the tour and especially Mark!!
Our guide Jasmine was fantastic! Ended up being a very small group so almost our own private tour of Paris.
Our guide, Laura was so sweet and knowledgeable. She was patient and understanding of our group's idiosyncrasies and gave us a wonderful tour of Paris. I highly recommend this experience.
