Fabby Way to See Paris

Caroline_B, Apr 2024

Had a great time seeing the highlights of Paris via bike. Our guide Harrison was quite knowledgeable and also quite funny . The stop at the outdoor cafe was nice too. Highly recommend to Get a feel for the city

Sunny day food tour.

Stacy_H, Apr 2024

We had a great tour with Isabelle. The food was amazing and the steps were great exercise along the way.

Best thing we did in Paris - saw all the sites we wanted to see by bike in 3 hours, Molly is a 1st class guide,

Jonathan_K, Apr 2024

Best Way to see Paris Really nice group dynamics - met interesting people from all over the world Molly is truly an outstanding guide. She's easy and fun to listen to, has tons of knowledge and makes sure everyone is confident and safe. Our first time in Paris and this is a great way to see all the sites in a very condensed way in 3 hours. Much more fun than walking from site to site and better than sitting in traffic. Normally I'd be scared to bike in a big city but Molly made it easy. This is perfect for bikers of all ages and all abilities.

Great!

Brooke_F, Apr 2024

Julian was a great tour guide! Perfect way to see Paris. A great overview for the kids who haven’t been to Paris before.

Fun, interesting and entertaining bike tour of Paris

Debra_W, Nov 2023

David was an awesome guide! He taught us many interesting things about Paris which made the activity both fun, interesting and entertaining. David also won bonus points for bringing us treats for Halloween!

Awesome

Cosmore_D, Oct 2023

This was more memorable than taking the hop on hop off. The guide was very knowledgeable able the history of the landmarks. We could have done this all day. It was not exhausting as we took breaks.

Great!

Kara_B, Oct 2023

We booked this Bike Tour while staying in Paris, coming from Ireland for the Rugby World Cup. We would recommend this bike tour . A great way to see Paris and the tour guide was brilliant. He brought us around Paris with ease and he was very informative. A must to do .

Just superb, great morning in Paris

Steve_D, Oct 2023

Just a really superb cycling tour through Paris, pretty exciting at times with the traffic, however safe with cycle lanes etc. Our guide Parvin was fantastic & made the tour what it was, he was knowledgeable & spoke so clearly& answered lots of questions along the way.

Good one, deserves to do

Lei_N, Aug 2023

Nice experience, suits for teenagers as well. The guide is very friendly, Mia. From US, knowledgable and energetic. Helped to change the tyre as broken. Much appreciate!

Lovely way to spend some time exploring and learning about Paris

Brianna_J, Aug 2023

I enjoyed that it was a great intro to Paris overall, how to bike around Paris (there are many rental options for after), and quick way to get a lay of the land with special monuments you may want to take more time for later but you felt like you got a lot of the ones you just pass by out of the way. Tour guide was great and very patient with the whole group following.

Perfect Paris!

Stacey_B, Aug 2023

If you do not take this tour, you’ll regret it! Absolutely amazing and perfect for families! Key sites, historical perfection, active and beautiful.

Enjoyable, Educational, & Fun!

Katie_P, Aug 2023

Our guide Allison was amazing! Such a great tour and she did a good job keeping our large group together. Got to see a good amount of the city (covered mostly left bank / western half of the city). Very enjoyable tour and couldn’t recommend our guide Allison enough!

Highlight of the trip!

Alexander_S, Aug 2023

David was an amazing and knowledgeable tour guide. The bikes were new and easy to ride. Highly recommend the tour as you see many stops and learn a ton!

Great way to see the sights

Kerensa_C, Aug 2023

We had a lovely time with Zoya being taught about the different sights in Paris. We felt safe with her on the roads and enjoyed seeing Paris by bike.

Afternoon ride

RafaelTovar, Jul 2023

Rain or shine great ride! Great guide Ruben around the cycling lanes and many main spots. Easy even with Paris crazy weather.

Late start, early end, and group too big

SuziSchweikert, Jul 2023

Group of 12 was too large. Ride was nice but I wish we had more history explained. Our guide was American and did not know Paris as well as hoped. Also we started late while waiting for people to show up, then ended early. It was shorter than 3 hours. Not nearly as good as the Fat Tire in London.

A fantastic bike adventure in Paris!

Debra_G, Jul 2023

My family had a great experience with Fat Tire Bike Tours. Cole, our guide, was from Austin, Texas, and was an excellent, extremely knowledgeable, and fun guide. We also loved the service we received before setting off on the tour at the location. Thanks so much for making our tour of Paris fun! Highly Recommended.
