- Meet your guide in Paris’ 15th arrondissement and set out on a scenic route along the riverbanks of the Seine River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to avoid central Paris’ traffic-heavy roads. Pause to admire the magnificent Eiffel Tower, cycle around the Champ de Mars, and continue to the Musée d'Orsay. Glide across to the Right Bank and stop at a café in the Tuileries Gardens. Perhaps enjoy tea or coffee, accompanied by a delicious cake or pastry (own expense), as you look out over the idyllic gardens. At Place de la Concorde, take in waterfront sights, including the Louvre Museum and Napoleon’s tomb in Les Invalides, before heading to the famous Champs-Élysées. During the tour, listen as your guide explains each attraction and points out architectural details or popular photo angles. Your tour ends at the departure point.

Our guide, Charlene Lite, was exceptionally knowledgeable, energetic, and full of behind-the-scenes insights about both the series and real Parisian culture. She made the tour feel personal and immersive, sharing fun facts and hidden gems beyond just the filming locations. Charlene’s enthusiasm and storytelling made this tour so much more than just a sightseeing walk—it felt like stepping right into the show!

Thoroughly enjoyed this bike tour of Paris. Liked it so much I did another one in Barcelona with the same company and received a 10percent discount that they offer for returning traveller's.
Our guide Molly was very knowledgeable and passionate about the city and landmarks. She guided us calmly and efficiently through the bustling streets.
I felt safe the whole time, I was nervous to ride on the streets because the traffic is so busy, but needn't have worried because it was actually a breeze and we had some specific instructions about how to ride in formations that made it easy and stress free. Super fun. Also a great way to see lots of places in a few hours without having to walk, my sore traveller feet thanked me for it. Can recommend 👌

A friend took a trip with Fat Tire Tours in another city and recommended that I do the Pais sightseeing bike too with FTT. I'm so glad we did! I was traveling with my wife, daughter and her husband and we did this trip at the end of our stay in Paris. It was fantastic! The guide was funny, able to communicate well, knowledgeable, and was able to handled 10 ish people on the tour riding through the streets of Paris with no issues. Finding the office was a breeze as well since FTT communicated exactly where to meet and at what time. They also provided bikes that were comfortable for city riding. At the end of the tour, the guides and office staff were super helpful in providing local recommendations for places to eat and find the best macarons. If you're worried about the traffic and busy Paris streets, don't be. This ride isn't fast or hard and as long as you can handle a bike you'll be fine. I highly recommend this tour. My recommendation is to do it early in your stay in Paris. On the bike tour, you will ride to many of the areas you want to walk to so you can visit these and then spend the rest of your time in the city visiting other areas.

This was our favorite thing we did on our 2-day trip to Paris. It was excellent to see so many sights without the slowness of walking and the crowded metros. We got to hear stories about the different sites, interesting and engaging but not too long - it was perfect. We are experienced bikers, and for us it was great and easy. For less experienced bikers, I can say it is slightly chaotic at times. There is one guide for about 16 participants. Our guide was great, and he kept an eye out on the back of the group, but still - it's the center of Paris and I would recommend this to people who are used to riding their bikes in cities. The bikes had baggage carriers on them which was great for us because we had bags that could clip on. The place where you rent the bikes is very laid back and felt like an oasis in Paris I have to say. Very friendly, you can leave your stuff in a cubby, they have bathrooms you can use, and water bottles you can buy for a euro. Our guide was so friendly and at every key site offered to take pictures of anyone who wanted that with their phones. He even got down on the ground to get a stellar shot of us in front of the Eiffel Tower!

It was overall a pleasant experience taking into account that we were travelling with 2 kids of 7 and 10 years old. The guide found appropriate bike sizes for them, which were quite new and comfortable. Despite the day heat everybody seemed to enjoy the ride. We had a "lunch" break at a Cafe where we had some ice-cream and juice at an unreasonable price.
We visited the most well-known places of interest and took some lovely pictures.
The guide was friendly and knowledgeable and was happy to answer our questions.

Our Paris day bike tour was an absolute delight and a fantastic way to explore the city! The highlight of our experience was undoubtedly our guide, Gustavo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and funny, making the tour both informative and entertaining. Gustavo’s ability to keep our group together and safe on the bustling streets of Paris was impressive and much appreciated. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to see the city from a unique perspective!

This was great! Our guide Vladimir was so knowledgable and told us so much about the history of the sites we visited, plus he threw in anecdotes and fun tales that made it really special. He was also very responsive, it was a cold day so we stopped for coffee and Vladimir shortened the talks a little so that we did more cycling because he could see we were all cold. He even leant me his gloves!! A great way to see Paris and learn about sites you might otherwise miss.

We had such a great time on this tour - cycling is the perfect active way to see the city from a new perspective. Our guide Soto was very knowledgeable and informative. He steered us safely through the streets when necessary, although most of the travel was through parks, riverbanks, and other car-free areas. He was a fun and engaging guide with a wealth of history to share with us, and even gave us some recommendations for our next city stops. Would highly recommend!

My teens dreaded the fact that I booked a bike tour, and when it was done my son said it was a highlight of our trip! We did the Paris afternoon bike tour. We had
Martin as our guide who was absolutely excellent (our best family photos of the trip were taken by him). He provided really great information about the history of the sites, as well as insider views of monuments that we would never have found ourselves. Traffic was crazy in spots and he did a great job of keeping us safe. Highly recommend

I booked the morning bike tour for my husband's birthday and I'm so glad I did. My children aged 5 and 9 had a great time as well. The younger one had a tandem and the older one, a bike of his own. Driving on busy roads felt a little scary at times if you're not used to riding on roads like me. However,
it was certainly an adventure and we all had fun. The guide stopped at regular intervals to ensure we were all doing okay. The group were kind towards my children and we couldn't fault the guide. If you are likely to need the ladies after almost 2 hours of cycling at the stop off for lunch, I wouldn't bother ordering anything from the cafe. Myself and younger son walked some distance to the edge of the park to use the public toilet and experienced a long wait for the ladies. By the time we got back to the cafe we had to leave. We also found the waiter to be unwelcoming and the menu was expensive. Apart from this, we had a great time and I would recommend this experience as a unique way to see Paris in a few hours and learn some interesting facts. We tipped the guide as she was amazing.

Having done previous Fat Tire Bike Tours in Berlin and Barcelona we decided to give Paris a go. Been to Paris several times before and walked, done the bus tour - the cycle tour is a great way to see some of the city. Contacted Fat Tires and managed to change the day of the booking due to weather forecasts - done very smoothly via their App. The tour was great and our guide, Dave from Cork was fantastic - lots of knowledge of the areas, landmarks etc. Would definitely recommend this tour as a way of seeing some of the main sights of Paris.

Sorry for the late response--which is exactly as described above. The actual building and launch point is at 24 Rue Edgar Faure, but we were met at the intersection of Rue Humblot and Boulevard de Grenelle, and our group walked to the building. If you enlarge the Google map, there's a Fat Tire pin at that street corner.
