Traveler reviews
Great experience on bikes at Versailles
We had a great trip on our bike tour of Versailles. We had been to the palace before, so this was a great way to see the gardens and other buildings. The visit to the market to pick up a lunch was fun. The best part of the trip was our guide Joe (Joris)- he made it interesting and fun. He even sang us songs he wrote about the tour. We can’t recommend this more!
Magical Day in Versailles
Our guide OJ was absolutely amazing! He was a trooper helping us with unexperienced bike riders in the rain. His knowledge of Versailles and the area made it worry free, and fun to face rain, wind and cold to have a great time even with little ones. He helped us find the best places in the local market! You can’t go wrong with OJ!!!
Excellent guide, outstanding tour: a must do in Paris!
Our VIP Tour Guide was OJ, and he was fantastic: super charming and funny, very well-informed and opinionated. We saw absolutely everything on a very full day, and were exhausted but happy at the end of it.
Excellent tour - would recommend :)
Julien was an excellent guide - funny and informative. We had to queue very little thanks to the tickets included in the tour cost. This is our 5th Fat Tires Tour across 3 cities and all have been excellent.
Well worth it… well-run business that is customer-focused
We really wanted to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower… and Fat Tire Tours stayed to us that it would be dependant on what they get allocated. What I found surprising (in a good way) was that from the start they acted in good faith and were professional throughout. They have established offices from which you depart from. The Tour Guides know what they are doing… in our case we had to split our group because of scarcity of tickets… Amir was really really REALLY good… well-spoken, interesting, insightful… we really enjoyed the tour and spending time with him. The tour was great… we learned a lot and Amir even took some amazing pictures of us along the way. The other tour guide was just as good (spouse stated)… which reflects the quality of business that they are running. This is not a fly-by-night operation, and they truly want you to get value for your money. Well worth it and would use them again.
