We had 3 adults and 2 teenagers and took the all-day Versailles bike tour and it was wonderful! Fat Tire knows what it is doing and how to get you there safely with a minimum of fuss. We met at the shop, picked out our bikes, had a safety/instruction briefing and then rode the bikes to the RER and on... More

Marcus! You are an exceptional guide. Informative and with the correct amount of solemnity given that we were viewing the burial place of six million. More

Given that Versailles is 22,000 sq acres, the best way to really see the grounds is on a bike. After meeting at Fat Tire Bike Tours office near the Eiffel Tour we took a quick 20 minute train ride out to Versailles where you pick up your bike. 1st stop on the trip is a series of markets, pastry shops,...

Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide Andre was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He gave us great recommendations on which vendors to visit at the market. While on the tour of the grounds, we stopped at several places to get some history lessons. For lunch we stopped at a place along the Grand Canal that had a great view of the... More

The night tour is amazing. The leader guides you through the streets of Paris safely and you see a lot of the major sites. You bike past the Louvre pyramid (all lit up) and get a chance to buy an ice cream on Isle Saint Louis after cycling past Notre Dame. There are many other sites you see that are... More

You meet at the South Pillar of the Eiffel Tower. Look for the "Fat Tire Bike" sign in the air. You will see the sign if you have your back to the South Pillar ticket booth. Then you walk back to the office with the guide. When you arrive at the office, you can pay with Euros or US credit... More

Our guide Jason was great, he really knew his history, which helped us understand the context of Versailles and added a lot of color to our experience. He went out of his way to offer helpful information: the best place to buy cheese in the market, which vendor to avoid, what to look for. He even steered us to a... More

Did the day bike tour with Ally, comfortable bikes, saw lots, a great way to see many things without having to walk for hours. Enjoyed it so much, would recommend. Lots of time to stop for great pictures. At end of day tour, they offer a night bike tour for 15 Euro, so we signed up for a night bike... More

This tour was a mixed experience. The actual tour was great. Pete did a great job guiding us and telling us about the sites and the bike ride was fun. However, we felt Pete took advantage of our trust during the tour. He stated that service was not included in our lunch bill and we should tip at least 10%... More

Thank you so much for joining us for this day bike tour. We're very glad that you enjoyed the majority of the tour. On the other hand, we're greatly sorry that a misunderstanding at lunch caused you to doubt your tour guide, and our company's, integrity. Hopefully I am able to respond to some of your concerns below. A small... More

we did the day tour and the night tour. Day tour was great. The night tour guide did not know much about paris. I asked her which district we were in at one point and her answer was completely wrong. The boat tour was Awful. A crowded, noisy tourist trap from hell. The punters were plied with alcohol on the... More

Michael, It sounds like our Day Bike Tour would have been much more up your alley. The Day Tour is where you’ll get the most information about Paris. We hear one of two comments most often after the Day Tour. Either, “Wow, I’m so glad I took this because now I know what I’m going to do the next few... More
