Best of · PRIVATE BIKE TOURS IN FRANCE
Good private bike tours in France fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 7 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
See Nice in a private electric vélo-taxi with a local driver-guide such as Adrien, Vincent, Hugo, or Simon. Choose a 45-minute, 75-minute, or 2-hour route, stop for photos, slip through Old Nice’s narrow lanes, and finish anywhere in the city center.
“I loved my experience! I had the best guide and he took a lot of great pictures for me. Will definitely book again!”
Ride a private e-bike route from Invalides to the Eiffel Tower, stopping at Paris icons including Pont Alexandre III, the Louvre, Champs-Élysées, and the Arc de Triomphe. Guides such as Jack, Fadwa, Arthur, Boris, and Ziggy tailor the ride to your group.
“Sadly the tour was cancelled through the night and unless i could change my arrangements to reschedule i missed out on going on this tour”
Ride through Lille for one hour in a private electric bike taxi with a French, English, or Spanish-speaking guide. From Place Rihour, you’ll see Old Lille, the Grand Place, belfries, the Porte de Paris, and narrow lanes cars cannot reach. Guide names may include Valentine, Juan, Florian, or Davide.
“Such a great experience! The guide knew absolutely loads about the history and gave such detailed information. He was very considerate too, checking that we were ok in the back and trying to park in the shade to keep ourselves cool. Would absolutely recommend!”
See Nice by quiet electric taxi bike with a private local driver. Choose 45 minutes to 2 hours, stop for photos, and reach Old Town lanes, the port, Massena Square, and the Russian Cathedral. Guides including Vincent, Hugo, Ludwig, and Savo can adjust the route to your interests.
“Vincent was our guide. He was 5 minutes late and did advise us which wasn’t a problem. He coughed and sneezed and blew his nose constant. He was clearly sick and shook our hands luckily we had hand sanitizer with us. We made a stop and he said that he would be right back and 13 minutes later he came back to us. The tour was only 75 minutes long. He did take us to the port area on the tail end which added some extra time. The tour was a quick view of Nice. We saw him out the next day. Would have preferred to be with someone that…”
Ride from near the Eiffel Tower along the Seine, then follow an English-speaking guide into the Latin Quarter and lesser-known Paris. Expect the Roman Arena, Pantheon, old walls, a Dali sundial, and a cannonball lodged in a mansion wall. The private tour covers about 12 kilometers.
“Good guide Interesting stories Perfect english Only the weather was not so good”
Follow Emily in Paris locations by private electric rickshaw with a French or English-speaking driver. You’ll see Saint-Michel, the Panthéon, Place de l’Estrapade, Café de Flore, Montmartre, Dalida’s statue, and more, with photo stops and an eight-language audio guide.
“Jammer genoeg kan ik niet lovend zijn over deze trip. Alles liep verkeerd, de route vinden lukte niet, de uitleg was met een box waarin de vertaling via AI was, dus geen gids zoals vermeld. In mijn ogen weggesmeten geld, al konden we gelukkig lachen toen we voor de 3e keer hetzelfde punt passeerden. De bestuurder deed zijn best en was heel vriendelijk maar ik had de indruk dat dit z’n eerste keer was.”
Join Renaud for a private 90-minute electric-bike ride from the Marais through central Paris. Learn the bikes, pass Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, Invalides, and more, then receive photos and a souvenir time-lapse video.
“Renaud was an awesome guide! So friendly and knowledgeable. We had a beautiful day to ride around Paris. Renaud was polite and efficient in negotiating us in and around the traffic and people and made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. He pointed out good photo opportunity spots. Thank you Renaud! Kind regards Tym and Fiona”
