What you are really buying
You buy a bike, a helmet and a guide who leads a group on car-free riverside paths past the big sights. It is a way to see many places in three hours, not a museum visit: you stop for photos but do not go inside. The 3-hour tour is not suitable for children under 12. For a longer list of motorised rides read our guide to electric bike tours in Paris.
Our pick and the others
The 3-hour tour wins on price and length. The 4-hour Best of Paris tour adds an hour and starts at Place Saint-Michel. The evening bike and boat tour is the one to choose for lights: four hours, with a Seine cruise at the end. The e-bike ride is shorter and easier on the legs.
Which offer to choose?
- First time on a bike in Paris: the 3-hour guided tour.
- You want more time at each stop: the 4-hour tour.

Practical tips
- Wear closed shoes and bring a layer: you are outdoors for the whole tour.
