Had an amazing Fat Tire Bike Tour through Paris with Thomas. Picked the Best of Paris Tour. It was an awesome 8 hours with stops and views of all the sites, including entrances and time at Notre Dame and the Louvre. The tour is at a great pace and with a great knowledgeable guide. We went with Thomas and he was awesome. We are not athletic nor in fit shape (as our pictures will show, LOL!) and are all very amateurish (not regular riders). Yet, the ride was leisurely enough we had a great time and could keep up. Thomas was great and kept it real. It was an epic day!! I give it 5 stars!! And recommend it to anyone who wants to have a unique Paris experience!!

Another great Fat Tire experience! Our first Fat Tire tour was in Berlin. We loved it so much we decided to take Segway tours whenever we can in new cities. On our first visit to Paris, we started our first day there with Fat Tire. It's nice to get an overview of a new city and decide what to go back and see later. Paris is quite spread out so I was disappointed that we didn't get over to Notre Dame, but I went there on my own the next day - wanted to go in anyway. But, we hit most of the highlights in the Eiffel Tower part of Paris. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny and we were very safe. We had a good bit of time to practice in the courtyard behind their store before we hit the streets. Would recommend this tour to anyone!

We did this tour at the beginning of our first trip to Paris and were glad that we did. It helped us to get our bearings and learn the layout of the land / overview of the city. More than that, it was really neat to learn of the rich history of the buildings and to know what we were looking at as we traveled through the city. Besides it just being informative, it was a lot of fun. We found that this bike tour was well worth the money and we were glad that we did it. We also got some more information from the office on good restaurants to go to while in the city and on other activities to do. We were appreciative of that as well.

We did the evening tour with a boat ride. It was a an excellent way to kick off our visit. Our guide was fun and informative. It was just a quick pass for each attraction, but gave us a good exposure to consider where to spend our future time. Gentle rain, warm temps, laughter, and riding bikes with impromptu friends made during the tour. The evening was magical. Thank you Jack!!

We have taken several tours with this company and the previous company and cannot give them a higher recommendation. Always on top of their game and know exactly what they are doing.

Also, they leave on time and warned us when booking. If you are like me and never late for anything, it feels good to deal with a company that leaves on time.

They offer guided tours of Paris, by bike or Segway. It is also one of the few sites in the city that sells LeFrenchMobile phone cards, essential if you want to continue enjoying Internet connection during your trip.

Fantastic bike ride through Versailles garden. Little kids may have trouble with the city biking of which there is a decent amount (through the city of Versailles). To get into the chateau there was a decent wait.

Recommend the bike over walk, you won't see enough if you walk. The bike ride was at a scenic pace. The bikes are pretty old however and a little rickety and took a little while to get used to from flat handle bar bikes.

We recently booked a Skip the Line Tour up the Eiffel Tower with Fat Tire in Paris and what a brilliant experience it was! Skipping the queue was a treat and the tour itself with our Guide was interesting and entertaining. Fat Tire asked us to change the time of the original tour we booked and in return gave us 2 free tickets to do the evening River Cruise tickets with Bateaux Parisiens company which was a highlight of the trip for us. Definitely HIGHLY recommend the Skip the Line Tours and worth the extra spend for sure.

I love Fat Tire! I ve done the Paris day tour, the Versailles tour, and the Paris night tour (including the river cruise), and the day one multiple times with visitors. The guides are friendly, good at English, and helpful. I ve learned a lot on these tours and I live here in France. I find it to be a great value overall

We paid for a guided tour. It was 6 times the normal price so we expected a well guided tour.
When we arrived at the tower our guide left us which meant that we ourselves should find the right line ( Hint: It's NOT easy when you doesn't speak a word french)
As said the guide left our group which meant we didn't got a guided tour as we paid for.

NOT recommended!! They literally took 250$ for entrance without our guide even guiding us!

Brilliant. Took the Paris day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice and informative and hit most of the major spots you'd expect. Luckily it was really nice weather. The host, guide was really friendly and good and took care of us all on the roads. It did not feel at any point dangerous on the roads.

Probably one of our favorite things we did in Paris! Our group was 20 people, so rather large, and we kept getting split up, but our guides were great fun, we got to see almost all of Paris on the night tour, and they were very accommodating to the group. Tim even gave us food recommendations for our trip! (The butter he suggested was really good!) The boat ride on the river was relaxing and the wine flowed the whole time so there was great conversation. All-in-all an amazing tour!

Took two hours this week with fat tire.

On Sunday, Athena was fabulous and took us on the bike tour through the gardens of Versailles. Beautiful tour and she was very friendly and knowledgeable.

On Tuesday, we had Bianca take us to Giverny and Monet's Garden. She too was fun, knowledgeable and a joy to be around.

Liz and Mike from Pittsburgh would recommend both yours and guides during your travels.

If you're looking for a fun, informative, and insider view, you need to take a Fat Tire Tour! The guides are an amazing resource and it's fantastic to, "skip the line," for the major attractions. They're a great value and a memorable experience!

Fantastic. A great way to spend three hours. Nicole was perfect. Great amusing stories and interesting facts all along the tour. With it being so hot this weekend, the morning tour was perfect before the heat set in. My children 8/11/13 loved the tour as well. Would recommend Fat Tire Tours to everyone visiting the city.

I went with two friends of mine on this tour last Saturday at 6.30 pm and we had a great time cycling around Paris while listening to stories from our guide Ted, who told us alot about the history of buildings, neighborhoods, and most importantly the French revolution. The weather was swinging and it rained for most of the bike ride but then we were provided with punchos and the tour went out in spite of the rain. And it ended with a very nice Bateaux Mouches ride (a boat that goes down the Seine) which starts by the Eiffel tower passing by all the beautiful bridges and the Notre Dame.

I would highly recommend the tour even though I had been to Paris multiple times before, it's such a nice experience.

What a great experience all the way through! Easy to book, easy to find, very organized. The staff is always what makes or breaks an experience and everyone was very friendly and informative. My son is 4 and loves to ride bikes, he was very excited for the tandem bike and loved riding the streets of Paris. Our guide was very informative and attentive to everyone in the group always keeping us safe.

Such a fabulous experience from start to end. With three kids, I really didn't know what to expect but they are fully equipped to cater to families of all ages. We loved our guide, Dave, and felt well looked after on the streets. It was the perfect mix of biking, history and seeing the sites. Lunch was at a wonderful cafe as well. Superb way to see the city and get an overview of what to visit in more depth!!

Definitely recommend and we hope to do another tour with this company in London in a few months!

Great tour-thanks Easy Pass
We arrived in Paris and wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower, things were not looking good as every tour I contacted was fully booked, I then stumbled upon Easy Pass Tours on the internet, not only did we get on a guided tour the next day but we got skip the line option-which is definitely worth it when you see the cue the next day. The tour was really good and informative, we really enjoyed it-I recommend it to anyone.

Fat Tire Tours Paris was one of the highlights of our trip. Our tour leader was Jack and he was just wonderful! Our group happened to be mostly groups of two and Americans. We were also a range of ages (from 20 something to 60 something) and fitness levels. We took the evening tour which included a bike ride through Paris and a boat ride along the Seine, finishing with a stunning view of the Eiffel tour at night (both from the boat and on bike). I would definitely do a Fat Tire Tour again. It allowed us to see parts of Paris we would not have seen this trip. We also know what parts of Paris we need to visit again (Latin Quarter!!!).
BTW, Fat Tire tours was very efficient in answering questions the 2 times I contacted them.

Truly one of the most memorable days of my life! My friend and I booked the Versailles Fat Tire Bike tour last spring in Paris and I can honestly say it is one of my favorite memories of my entire life. Our tour guide Alex? (Welch man with salt and pepper hair) was incredible, knowledgeable and went out of his way to inform, guide and lead us with in-depth knowledge and humor. I cant describe the pure joy and happiness we felt on our day trip with your company!

Uncomfortable facilities. You have to be at the agreed time, since it is the guide who does the work, they do not do anything. They accompany you, avoid the queues and little else. It is a ticket without queues like any other.

This WWII Paris tour was my favorite of the trip! Mike, our guide told some fantastic stories that really peaked my interest in WWII history as it pertains to France. And we're seeing all these buildings in person! There was even humor too!

I was really pleased with Fat Tire's Versailles tour, as well as the day bike tour went with some friends and we all had a great time! The guides were friendly, witty and very knowledgable. It was a great way to see a lot of Paris in a short amount of time, with the added bonus of getting to ride a bike through the streets. Overall, we couldn't have been more pleased - we had hoped to do a night bike tour which we heard were awesome, but we didn't have time. Definitely recommend Fat Tire!!

Our bike tour of Versailles was amazing! We are so glad we decided to see Versailles this way. We would never have seen or learned so much trying to do it on our own. The train workers were on strike the day of our tour so Fat Tire hired a shuttle bus to get us to Versailles to make sure we still got our tour and we ended up with less crowds as a bonus. The picnic by the channel was beautiful and our guide, Declan, brought a large tarp since the ground was wet from rain. My bike got a flat tire, but Declan was able to fix it very quickly so we didn't lose much time. Overall, fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend it.

Beware of this company! They will never give your money back even if they leave you at the beginning of the tour and do not answer the phone when you try to get ahold of them.

For our 15th anniversary and my wife s birthday, we planned a tour of Versaille with this company. We emailed several times and spoke the night before the tour and the morning of the tour - they knew we were coming. Traffic was especially bad that morning and our taxi got us to the meeting spot 3 minutes late. I spoke with a company representative on the way to the meeting spot (told her we were going on the tour and meeting the group in Paris for the Versaille bike tour) and told them we would be a few minutes late due to traffic. When we arrived, we looked and looked but couldn t find the tour group. I called and waited for several minutes twice. No answer or reply. The tour group ditched us and was not answering the phone! Not a great spot to be in when you are in a foreign country. I sent an email to the company hoping to get in touch. Afterwards my phone ran out of batteries. Given the situation we made alternate plans - rather than sit around all day waiting for the company to get back in touch with us. When I was able to charge my phone, we got back in touch. I wanted a refund!!! They refused and continue to refuse to issue the refund. They only offered to go at 3 pm on a tour - but we had already made alternate plans ... plus who in their would go on a tour after this experience.

We visited Paris for the half-term break and this was our family's #1 favorite activity! We saw ALL the top attractions, got exercise, and familiarized ourselves with the lay of the land during the tour. Jack was a fantastic tour guide. He delivered the history and facts in a fun and interesting way. It was nice to meet folks from other cities and we truly had a fantastic time. Can't wait to book a Fat Tire London tour next!

Awesome tour!! We went on the Versailles tour. It was a great full day there. Was an experience from riding the metro to the shop, going to the market to purchase food for our French picnic on the grounds of Versailles, riding around all the grounds to the history lesson from our tour guide. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris. You get to see a side of Versailles that you never get to see by just buying a ticket to see the main building.

Great bike tour of Paris. Not strenuous at all. Lots of stops for pictures and history, background information and local color. Jon, our guide, was fun, informative, knowledge and humorous. He was also great at keeping track of the whole group (which was pretty large at 18 people!) and keeping everyone safe and together (dominate!). It was great biking by all the cars that were stuck in traffic. Definitely recommended way to see Paris.

Excellent bike tour! The "night tour" is really an easy, flat bike ride through the city of Paris, with some quick stops at major monuments. And an ice cream! The included Seine River cruise was a great way to see the city from the water, especially the Eiffel Tower lit up! We would highly recommend Fat Tire Bike Tours!

This was our introduction to Paris at the beginning of our trip, and it was WONDERFUL!

Our tour guide was very friendly, knew a great deal about the city, and was also terrific with the bikes, and the members of our group who were less confident on them.

We saw many of the city's famous monuments, got a feel for the layout and culture of Paris, and learned SO much! No chance you could accomplish all of that walking, or by metro.

HIGHLY recommend, and we will definitely look them up in other cities to which we may travel.

My parents and I did a tour of Versailles with Fat Tire Bike tours and had an INCREDIBLE experience. It was my 3rd time to Versailles, but the first on bike and it was my parents first time at Versailles. Given all the walking you will do in Paris, seeing the museums and churches, etc., going on bike is a lovely way to mix things up and see the sights from a different perspective. You have a lovely picnic away from the crowds and you feel like you own the place. Ben was our tour guide, an Aussie, who was entertaining, knowledgeable and super helpful. I'm definitely going to do Fat Tire Bike tours in the future.

It was a very nice tour. We walked together from the shop to the Eiffel Tower. Since we had booked the tour so that we were allowed to go up to the top without queuing up, we didn't have to queue to get to the Eiffel Tower. We were accompanied to the first floor and from there we could explore the Eiffel Tower as long as we wanted. The lady who performed the leads g spoke in spanish, english, german and french and explained everything in great detail. I would book a tour or guided tour there again anytime I am back in Paris.

Fat Bike tours in Paris was rather fun. We cycled in and around the city s main attractions with the help of a guide who weaved us in and out of the busy traffic. We would never had done this on our own. You definitely need to do it in a group but my only criticism was I thought the group was too large, as some members kept cutting off other group members and had some minor falls happened.

We had a great time on our Fat Tire City tour today. Alexandra - our guide - was knowledgable and funny and she took great care to make sure we were all safe and no one got lost! I suspect we were helped by the fact that in August half of Paris has left the city so the roads were not too busy. Great way to see the city and a good option for families. We have our 17 and 15 year olds with us and they really enjoyed themselves - far more than if we had trudged to all the sites on foot

Tour was informative, fun and generally a great way to learn a bit about Paris.

The only issue was timing. Our ~3 hour tour lasted 4.5 . And the lunch stop was maybe an hour, which was 40 mins too long. The restaurant isn't that good and pretty over priced.

The biking isn't bad at all, but some of the spots were a bit dodgy with traffic

We did the day tour, night tour and "skip the line" Eiffel Tower tour. This was such a great way for us to maximize our three days in Paris, learn about the history, and leave us time to enjoy restaurants and nightlife. We had Nick as our guide for the day tour, and he is excellent. The pace of the tour is great, and our fears of if being too physically demanding or dangerous we put to rest quickly-- the guides did a great job ensuring our group was safe, and the routes are all flat. Would highly recommend.

This was my third segway tour. There were only three of us. Our guide was Dadu.

I got to the office a bit early and got the lay of the land. There were three guides there and so chatted with them all a bit before .... And after. They were all three quite friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

Dadu gave each of the three of us a quick, but thorough enough lesson in how to drive the segway. And then we were off ...

It was a great tour. Saw quite a bit, learned a fair amount, got some nice photos.

It was pretty cold that day. The company provided over gloves that'd fit over anybody's gloves - helped keep the hands warm. Still, was a pretty cold few hours.

It was fun and informative. I reccomend.

We took the Paris night bike tour hoping to get a good overview of basic sites and more importantly get a feel for biking around the city. This was such a disappointing experience. I am honestly surprised by the 5 star reviews. My husband and I have taken bike tours in other cities before and found them to be a great experience. From the moment we showed up at the Fat Tire meet up spot, things seemed really disorganized and chaotic. We were rushed to get bikes and bright yellow safety vests (which I am not mocking, it was a good idea to be very visible given the terrible instructions we were given at very busy traffic intersections during rush hour) and given very limited instructions. Our tour guide was a very sweet and personable (college-age I'm guessing?) woman that I believe was in over her head. She made it clear that the locals do not like the tour company and will give us a hard time wherever we go. That being said, we were instructed to push our way through intersections, block crosswalks, cut cars and pedestrians off and generally be a nuisance. Methinks not indeed! No wonder the locals don't like the tour company! The group was way too large to navigate the route that was chosen for us. A tour like this should have ten people tops and ours had 20-22 people in it. We were mortified at every turn. To make things worse, our guide thought it necessary (and funny?) to deliver her limited tour information in a really bad French accent. If I was a local (or another tourist) walking by, I'd be a little peeved. We come to cities to learn about the culture and the sights and respect the environment in which we are inserting ourselves - not mock it and be a nuisance! The tour was so bad, we tried to skip the boat portion at the end, but couldn't because we had to return the bikes to the shop with everyone else. We drank our free wine and looked longingly at the people sitting on the river's edge drinking and eating and having what had to be a better time than us. Maybe it was us, maybe it was an off day, who knows. Perhaps Paris is not that bike friendly of a city. Either way, we did not enjoy the night bike tour.
