Our Day Bike Tour is the perfect tour for both those new to the city and Parisian veterans. For the beginners, this tour will offer you a fantastic orientation and give you an opportunity to see virtually all of the sites you've heard about. For the veterans, we're positive you'll learn new facts and stories about Paris that you've never heard. And we're sure you'll both agree that biking is the best way to see the "City of Light". We also stop for lunch during this tour (price not included).

Comparison of Day Tour vs. Night Tour

Many customers want to know the difference between our Day and Night Tours.

First, the routes and information provided are completely different.

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 days while I'm in the city" or we hear, "I can't believe I'm leaving tonight because there's so much more here that I didn't know about and I've missed it all."

The Night Tour is simply beautiful. There is more riding involved and slightly less information than the Day tour, but the city at night is fantastic! It is a more relaxed atmosphere than our Day Tour as the wine tends to loosen everyone up a bit.

Most of our customers take both of our tours. However, if you're not sure you want to take both, we suggest you take whichever one sounds most interesting to you, and then you can decide at that point if you enjoyed it enough to ride with us a second time. We think we know what your answer will be...

The Tours Are A MUST

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for the great bike tours! I was in Paris in August for a week and took 2 of your bike tours, 1 was the "Paris by night", and the other was the "Versailles". Both were AWESOME! Paris by night...leader "Peaches" was great!. He really motivated the group to "dominate" the streets of Paris. Ending with the River Seine cruise was the icing on the cake...if you will...what a great night! I met a bunch of wonderful people and saw some great things that I would have never seen if I had not taken the bike tour. I become more familiar with the city of Paris and "got my bearings" for later. The next day I took the Versailles bike tour...WOW! Graham was the lead for this tour...what a great guide! He was very knowledgeable on his Versailles history and was a great tour guide! I loved riding the bikes through the city onto the Palace grounds and around the Grand Canal for our picnic...then touring the palace itself. What a great time offered by both bike tours and both leaders were great in their own elements! ;o)
Since I have been home...I have "raved" to everyone about Fat Tire Bike Tours...and tell tell them all...the tours are a MUST! Thank-you for such a great experience and wonderful time!
I will be back...and I will take more tours!
Thanks again~
