What To Expect
Latin Quarter
The first half of the tour will be in this charming part of central Paris. One of the oldest parts of Paris, the Latin Quarter got its name from the Latin that was spoken by all of the La Sorbonne University students back in the days when Paris had one of the first international Universities in the world. You'll love cycling on its tiny back streets and learning its vibrant history.
Shakespeare and Company
The Shakespeare and Co. Bookstore has almost become a shrine to the written word. It's in a medieval building with wooden beams and plaster walls. It has shelves overflowing with the literature of all ages and sorts. You'll learn its fascinating history and then have free time to explore inside it and maybe meet some of the the authors who actually sleep in the store!

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and Arnaud was an entertaining and educational guide. The cycling was safe and easy (despite the small hill!) and the stops were places we wouldn’t have otherwise seen.
Great way to start our trip!!

5.00This was such an amazing tour. Extremely knowledgeable and Arnold was such a great guide. My husband and I just so happened to be the only people on the tour that day, so it was very intimate and the perfect way to start our trip. Highly recommend.
Lots of Fun!

5.00Excellent tour and highly recommend it. Went to a host of places we didn’t even know existed in Paris and definitely off the beaten track. Our guide “T” was excellent - passionate, friendly and very knowledgeable. The bikes are easy and comfy to ride and the Parisians were very obliging to bike riders.
Wonderful

5.00Tibault made the tour really interesting, fun and relaxing. He also answered all of our questions about the history and politics of Paris and France. We thought it was a good length and very good value, particularly given the expertise of our guide.
Most memorable day in Paris! So fun!

5.00Such a great way to see a lot of areas- biking was fun - our guide “T” did a great job navigating through busy areas. I didn’t realize we would stop as much as we did - first stop was Shakespeare book store - had time to go inside and next took time for a cream puff upon request. T was extremely knowledgeable and his love for history shined through. We had a fun filled day of sight-seeing by bike and learning! Book this tour! You will love it!!
Two Wheeling In Paris

5.00I actually took TWO tours with Blue Fox. First, Versailles, with no intention of signing up for a second, but it's really fun and a unique way to enjoy the area. It's a long day, but well organized so as not to be overwhelming. The second was Paris Secrets. Both times my tour guide was Thibault. He's the main reason I signed up again. His historical knowledge appears to have no limits, plus he's friendly and welcoming. Were I staying longer, I might have gone for the trifecta. I'm so glad I did this. The Secrets tour had some inclines that I hadn't expected, so it was a challenge for my new hip, but the inviting sites, tastes and sounds far outweigh any discomfort. Stopped to enjoy a delicious meal in The Latin Quarter. FYI: The bikes do not have gears. Suggestion: Perhaps a sign of some sort at the meeting point?? Seriously, get yourself on a blue bike and feel the wind in your hair. It's marvelous... and very Parisian to be on two wheels, I think?? Thank you, Thibault, for a wonderful experience. I hope to see you again one day. Merci beaucoup.
