Engaging experience - With a group of 7 and our Dutch speaking guide Carmen cycled through Paris. Very easy to book through BAJA bikes, found online. Got clear instructions and nice anecdotes from the guide. Definitely recommended. Van Carmella, Zita and Martine from Ghent

Must do tour! - This was my favorite part of the trip, definitely highly recommend. If you can ride a bike, you must take this tour while in Paris! I also agree with other reviewers if you can try to do this on day 1 or earlier days of your trip and your tour guide also takes amazing photos so dress for pictures!! David was our tour guide he was fantastic!!

Nice bike ride - Paris is a great city for bike riding! Our guide explained where we were going before heading to each sight and always had his eye on us so that I always felt safe even though I was unfamiliar with the roads. He also provided lots of historical information that made the sights we visited even more memorable. We also had opportunities for photo shoots which he took for us. For someone who had limited time in Paris, I would definitely recommend this trip and guide! Oh, and I burned 1200 calories too! 😆

Très magnifique! Paris Day Bike Tour - Our Paris day bike tour was an absolute delight and a fantastic way to explore the city! The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly our guide, Gustavo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny, making the tour both informative and entertaining. Gustavo’s ability to keep our group together and safe on the bustling streets of Paris was impressive and much appreciated. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to see the city from a unique perspective!

Great way to spend a few hours in the city! - A friend took a trip with Fat Tire Tours in another city and recommended that I do the Pais sightseeing bike too with FTT. I'm so glad we did! I was traveling with my wife, daughter and her husband and we did this trip at the end of our stay in Paris. It was fantastic! The guide was funny, able to communicate well, knowledgeable, and was able to handled 10 ish people on the tour riding through the streets of Paris with no issues. Finding the office was a breeze as well since FTT communicated exactly where to meet and at what time. They also provided bikes that were comfortable for city riding. At the end of the tour, the guides and office staff were super helpful in providing local recommendations for places to eat and find the best macarons. If you're worried about the traffic and busy Paris streets, don't be. This ride isn't fast or hard and as long as you can handle a bike you'll be fine. I highly recommend this tour. My recommendation is to do it early in your stay in Paris. On the bike tour, you will ride to many of the areas you want to walk to so you can visit these and then spend the rest of your time in the city visiting other areas.

Great experience with a family, Would recommend - Toby was a great guide, knowledgable but not boring. We did the tour with 3 kids (9, 6, and 3) Fat Tire had the reserved bikes for the kids ready to go. We had a great time.

Paris with children 😃. A bike ride is the ideal way to visit Paris. - Robert is a very nice guide. We have seen the highlights of Paris in a fun, fast way with fine, short explanations of each building. Highly recommended 🤩

Fat Tire Tour exercised bad judgment - We were a family of 9 and were joined by another family of 4. With 13 people on bikes single file through the busy streets of Paris (cars, trucks, buses, taxis, bikes, scooters, etc.) I was surprised we had just one representative leading the way and no caboose from the tour company to watch from behind. When the teenager in the other family felt sick, and she and her mother wanted to go back to base, all of us were required to wait until a rep arrived from base camp to escort them. This took over 15 minutes while the rest of us stood, unmoving in the driving rain. Bad judgment both on the part of Fat Tire Tours and also Nick our Welsh guide. We had no opportunity for shelter and it was a long wait. Fat Tire Tours should have provided two guides (front and back), and should have been more caring in its treatment of the parties who stuck with the tour,
despite the excruciating delay.
