The best way to see London!

Published on Aug, 2024

Fat Tire tours is amazing. We had a wonderful time with Emily, our guide. I want to do these tours everywhere now!

Great Way to See London

Published on Jun, 2024

Wow, our tour guide Abby was absolutely amazing! Her energy was infectious, and she shared so much information without overwhelming us. The bike ride was relaxing, although we had to walk the bikes in some busy areas. Abby made sure we stopped at all the major attractions and even gave us time to take photos and ask questions. The length of the tour was perfect, allowing us to see everything and still have time for a quick lunch. This was my second time on this tour, and Abby was definitely my favorite guide!

Fabulous bike tour of London!

Published on May, 2024

Fat Tire offers the BEST tours! Tour guide Noel led our family of 4 on a tour of London’s sights. Noel was kind, shared interesting history, and made for a great experience for the 3 adults and 6 year old in our group. We’ve booked with Fat Tire in a number of different cities, and they are consistently fabulous!
