A great cycling adventure - I’ve never really felt compelled to write a review befits but we loved this bike tour of Paris. Andrea our guide was excellent, really knowledgeable about the city, great fun and really looked after us all. We were a bit freaked out about road cycling in a busy city (we both opted to wear a helmet!) but honestly it was fine, lots of smaller streets and cycle lanes and really clear instructions to keep you safe. Had we stayed longer we definitely would have booked to do another tour with Fat Tire as everyone we met was great - also as we were only there for a short weekend break it meant we packed so much more in than we could have done on foot. Highly recommended.

There’s more to Paris than Emily 🚲 👗 😝 - This is a fun way to explore the sights and sounds of Paris with very little effort. The tour uses many of the city’s great bike lanes and is quite flat, so is accessible to all ages and abilities.
Bikes are well maintained, the seats adjusted to suit height and brakes tested (use the right side to avoid being bucked off!).
Out excellent guide Dovi shared his wealth of knowledge teaching us all things Eiffel, about the progress being made on rebuilding Notre Dame, of Kings Louis (the Sun king and the Fun king), and of Marie Antoinette and how to avoid the Guillotine.
We had a great English speaking group, but other languages were available.
I really enjoyed this tour and hope to check out the Night tours and the other Fat Tire places in Europe.

Great company to see the sites of Paris - Fabulous guide, very informative. Nice small group
This is my third bike ride with Fat Tire. Have used them in Madrid, London, and twice in Paris.
Always pleasurable, no matter the weather!

Great way to spend an afternoon! - Amazing tour with a lot of interesting information to make the Paris landmarks more than just photo ops. The tour did a good job of finding roads that weren't too crowded while making our way to each destination. Great way to spend an afternoon in Paris, especially if you want to get a lot in short amount of time. Our your was about 9 miles. Bikes were easy and comfortable and water could be easily carried. We did the 2:30pm so no lunch, which meant more time riding and seeing.

Fun Bike Tour - Almost a perfect bike tour but for a point I will make later. The people running the shop were super friendly and helpful. Bikes were very nice, and our guide Vladimir was very informative and interesting. We went during the Olympics, and I was impressed with the route he took--we were still able to see all of the famous sights.
Last stop was the Eiffel Tower, and my husband and I came back from seeing it to find everyone else had left! Luckily, we were able to catch another tour and go with them. So that was mildly annoying, but our guide did apologize and did come back for us.
Overall would recommend. A fun way to see Paris, especially if you're limited on time as we were.
