Guidekin's take

The Giverny bike outing starts with a market stop in Vernon to buy supplies for a riverside picnic.

A local guide, bicycle, helmet and return transfer from Paris are included; food and drinks cost extra, and you must be able to cycle with moderate fitness. 4.72 from 543 reviews at €119 per person for 9h.

In our comparison: #25 of 26 in Bike Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
