Great tour, very happy with the attentive and well researched guide we were supplied. A thoroughly relaxed ride and would highly recommend to anyone doubting ( I’m 61 with a recent knee replacement and found it very easy )

This was my 12th bicycle tour in a different country, as I believe the best way to see a new place is atop a bicycle. Fat Tire delivered for London (England) with an excellent tour along the Thames River, with Andrew, our guide, full of knowledge, and leading at a leisurely pace. Sights at seemingly every turn, as well as a break for lunch (I went with the local delicacy: Tacos) the tour was never too easy, too fast, or too much. Rather, it was perfect!

We had a Fat Tire tour in Munich that was spectacular! This was on the other end of that which is weird because it's the same company. We met at the tube station and then had to walk about 10 minutes to get to the bikes. These bikes have seen better days. The bikes were uncomfortable. A one size fits all type of bike. The bikes weren't adjusted for each person which would have made it a little more comfortable. Trying to ride these bikes with all the people, vehicles, other cyclists, and road conditions made this a rough ride. Our guide was good with history but when asking questions not about history he seemed uninterested. I am surprised to see two totally different Fat Tire tours.
