If you’re planning your first visit to our beautiful capital and don’t know where to begin, you’ve come to the right place! What if we told you there’s a simple, fun, and accessible way to discover Paris from your very first day? An electric bike guided tour.
So hop on the saddle—here are 5 great reasons to choose a guided e-bike tour for your first trip to the City of Light!

1. See as many sights as possible—without getting tired

Paris is often explored on foot… until your legs beg you to stop! It’s true, a big city like Paris can be exhausting to walk through: between monuments, museums, gardens, and long boulevards, the kilometers add up quicker than you think. The result? You end up picking just a few “must-sees” and miss out on a lot of hidden gems.

With a guided electric bike tour, you get the best of both worlds—efficiency and enjoyment. Thanks to electric assistance, you can glide effortlessly from one spot to another, even on hilly routes. In just a few hours, you’ll ride past iconic landmarks like Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, and the Arc de Triomphe, while also discovering more hidden spots known only to our passionate guides.
It’s the ideal way to check off the essentials without rushing, stressing, or exhausting yourself on day one!

2. Learn about the history of Paris

Visiting Paris isn’t just about looking at monuments—it’s about understanding them. Discovering the stories behind the stones, the fun facts, and the secrets they hold. And that’s where a guided tour really makes the difference.
At OneBike, our guides are true Paris lovers. They know the city like the back of their hand and love sharing its secrets:
Why is the Louvre pyramid so talked about? Which king left his mark on Place de la Concorde? Where can you find the best views of the Seine?

With your guide, you’ll enjoy a lively, interactive experience—a beautiful way to dive into the soul of Paris from the very first hours of your trip.

3. Experience Paris like a local

Between the crowds of tour buses, endless queues, and generic itineraries, it’s easy to feel more like a “consumer” than an explorer of the city.
But with a bike tour, everything changes—you move through the city at a local’s pace, cruising along bike paths, riverbanks, and charming little streets that buses simply can’t reach.

Biking gives you the freedom traditional tours often lack. You can stop for a photo, chat with your guide, ask questions, or simply take in the view—whenever you want!
It’s a far more personal and authentic experience than a bus tour or a standard walking tour.

4. A fun, accessible activity for everyone—even families

Biking in a big city can seem intimidating—especially if you’re not used to riding in traffic. But don’t worry: at OneBike, our tours are designed to be safe, easy, and accessible for everyone.

Our routes are tailored to all levels, and the electric assistance makes riding effortless—even if it’s been a while since you’ve ridden a bike.
You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy our tours—far from it!

Traveling with kids? Even better—we offer child seats and cargo bikes so your little ones can ride along comfortably. It’s a unique, joyful way to share a memorable experience as a family!

5. Start your trip on the right foot

Taking a guided e-bike tour early in your stay is the best way to get your bearings, spot places you want to revisit, ask your guide all your questions, and gather loads of insider tips!

Restaurants, museums, photo spots, markets—our guides don’t just tell you about Paris, they recommend it to you.
After this first immersive ride, you’ll have a clear idea of the city’s layout, vibes, and neighborhoods.
