Frequently Asked Questions
Bike Questions
What cycling skill level do I need for this tour?
While all of our tours maintain a leisurely pace, we want our guests to have fun and be safe, so being able to ride a bike is paramount.
All of our bike tours are perfect for novice bike riders or those that haven’t been on a bike in years, You should have average balance, be able to start and stop comfortably, and be familiar with hand brakes. We will be riding on bike lanes, through parks, and occasionally with traffic. Safety is our number one priority but confidence in yourself is the first step to overall group safety.
If you’re not sure how you’ll fare, we invite you to come to our office about 30 minutes prior to your tour start time to try the bikes.
What time does our Day Bike Tour start and finish?
Your bike tour will begin at 10am and finish around 1:30pm. There will be a stop for lunch along the way (cost not included), or you are welcome to bring your own lunch or grab something after the bike tour and before your Eiffel Tower visit at 2pm.
