Discover the Hidden Gems of Paris
Have you seen all the major sites in Paris? Looking for something a little more off the beaten path? You’ve come to the right place! Discover the hidden treasures of the City of Light on our enchanting Secrets of Paris Bike Tour. We will ride from our office near the Eiffel Tower along the River Seine, waving to the major monuments on the way. Then we’ll leave the well-trodden paths behind and embark on an adventure through the lesser-known gems and fascinating secrets of this iconic city while also stopping for a snack break in charming Parisian square. From a forgotten Salvador Dali Sundial to a misplaced cannonball in the wall of a mansion, this guided bike tour promises to unveil the captivating stories, mysteries, and charming spots that only the true Parisian insiders know.
