Great bike tour of Paris. We saw most of the important tourist sites efficiently and had fun riding in the group around the city. We enjoyed our stop for ice cream the cost of ice cream is not included, and enjoyed the river cruise at the end the wine is included. The lights on the Eiffel Tower turned on while we were on the boat and it was amazing. Our guide, Tess, was friendly and energetic. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Paris. Another plus was that it helped us feel comfortable biking in Paris traffic and we later used Lime bikes to get around. I don’t know that we would have done that if not for this tour.
We utilized Fat Tire Tours for the Versailles Bike Tour, and truly enjoyed it. Everything was exactly as described. Meet up was easy and straight forward. Tour was perfect for our family of four, including our young daughter who rode behind me on the bike “trailer.” Make sure you reserve in advance as part of your booking. Easy bike ride without any serious hills or challenges. Our tour included train tickets from the Paris meetup location to Versailles and back, as well as tickets to Chateaux after the bike tour. The first stop on the tour included a visit to the daily Versailles open air market to select items for your mid-ride picnic lunch, and was a special unexpected bonus experience. I’m sure they are all great, but our guide Richard was specifically fantastic. Engaged with adults and children alike, answering questions and presenting the information in an approachable, enjoyable way. Definitely recommend the experience. Watch weather: if rain is in the forecast, wear a raincoat or acquire a poncho, as you’ll want to be dry for the Chateaux after the bike ride.
Fat Tire Tours are seriously good, lots of fun and a great company! I’ve done tours in Barcelona as well. My partner and I did both the tour during the day and in the evening! They were both excellent but the tour in the evening was my favourite. More sightseeing and less stops which is what I prefer. When we did stop our tour guides were excellent and informative. Our tour guides were also great at explaining Paris traffic and rules and made it a excellent and safe experience for everyone. Thanks for the fantastic tours team. I would 100% recommend Fat Tire Tours to ANYONE!
Amazing tour of Paris by night definitely highly recommend the night tour!! our guide Andrew was very funny, knowledgeable and experienced with the roads. I felt safe biking around town. The boat was the highly of the tour, it must have taken around 1.5-2h on the boat! We got to see the sunset, the lit up Eiffel Tower and biked over just in time to see it twinkle. What a magical experience!
My wife and I did the Versailles bike tour with our two pre-teen girls and had a great time! Bikes are the best way to tour the grounds of Versailles. Nick was our guide, and did a great job, very funny and makes the history intriguing. The tour gives reasonable time to see the palace and other properties on palace grounds unless you are obsessed with 18th century furniture and interior design. A great treat is the visit to a local market to buy lunch items that we ate later in the ride, picnic-style, on the palace grounds. The terrain is very flat and appropriate for anyone with basic bike skills. Overall, a couple of miles riding. Great afternoon!
Can't go wrong basically. Great Aussie tour guide, super professional and aware and cared about his customers. And it's Paris. So much to see and Dave told the history in a wonderfully entertaining way.
Jon was a fantastic tour guide. Very easy bike ride so good for multiple skill levels. It was nice to do something different for the day and meet other visitors.
We had a wonderful Paris Day Bike Tour with our guide JF. We had one child in tow in a trailer, and one child riding tandem -- both options were fabulous. JF was amazing at keeping the group together and helping us feel safe as we rode on bike lanes, trails, and roads. He was so informative and we loved hearing the history of such a beautiful city. We would highly recommend.
Amazing experience riding through Paris with Clara fr the Fat Tire Tours team. Excellently maintained bikes, knowledgable guide and frankly, the perfect way to see Paris. DOMINATE
We did two bike tours with Fat Tire while we were in Paris the downtown Paris one and Versailles. Both were exceptional and we were lucky enough to get Dave and requested him for our second tour in Versailles. The bikes are nice, Dave was fun and a great communicator I felt safe the whole time and we learned a lot about Paris. Awesome way to see the city! Request Dave if you get the chance to do this!!
