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.
Better than just a summit ticket
We had been to the summit of the Eiffel Tower as a couple but this was our first time with our boys (ages 20 and 16). We felt that the tour guide Fergus, really added a lot to the experience. We spent about 20 minutes (5 minutes per side) with him as he discussed what we were seeing and answered any questions. The 7:30 tour was perfect this time of year because it placed us near the top or on the second floor (your choice) for sunset. FYI: this time of year it “sparkles” at 11 PM and midnight. It was easier to meet at the Fat Tire address for check in as it is chaotic at the foot of the tower for tours. Our group was only 10 people and Fergus did a nice job navigating us through the various lifts. His commentary was a nice mix of engineering, history and sight seeing. His mother should be proud of this “Amazing” young man.
