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

We did the night tour May, 2012. You meet at the Eiffel Tower and they take you to their shop nearby. 7pm start, went until midnight. Easy ride with group of about 12 and a native English speaking guide. Include a boat tour and brilliant views of the Eiffel Tower from the Seine. Our guide managed to get us back... More

We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday with champagne and baguettes overlooking the Grand Canal...amazing. Neither of us had been on a bike for thirty years, yet we had a wonderful day and it ranks high in the memorable experiences during our six weeks in UK and France. Dummies can do this one, and entry to the Palace of Versailles was... More
