Totally Disappointing and Exhausting
erinbo82, Nov 2024
I wanted to love this tour and kept looking for opportunities for it to improve, but it was incredibly disappointing. My group were four out of the 11 people on the tour. It was a very hot day in Paris, and the guide immediately told us that he would try to stop in shady spots, which he did at times. The problem was that our guide was walking so quickly that two of the 11 people either dipped out of the tour or got lost in the mass of pedestrians before the second stop. I struggled to keep up, but it wasn’t just me. There was another couple that was having an even tougher time. Half of the group even found ourselves lost in the crowd and walking in the wrong direction because the guide wasn’t paying attention to the back of the group. Thankfully, he doubled-back and found us, but that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Our guide did provide some good information, but the stops were way too short (and not enough commentary provided) considering the amount of time that we spent lumbering from one stop to the next. There were available benches where people could sit and listen, but the guide weirdly stood and talked just out of earshot after we had been walking in the heat for an hour. I get it; it’s a walking tour, but you have to adjust for the group. It looked like the only people who enjoyed the tour were the two people in the front. Also, the guide kept talking while walking, so most of us couldn’t even hear what he was saying. Fat Tire should consider restructuring this tour as a 2.5 hour tour and training the guides better to adjust for the group.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience and letting us know how we might improve this tour! We're sorry to hear it was disappointing and that the guide wasn't adjusting to the group to make it more enjoyable with the crowds and heat. We'll be following up with them and our team here to make sure that is addressed moving forward.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Paris and can join us on tour another time!
Best,

Ian is a wealth of knowledge and has a good sense of humour to boot! So, along with the walk through quintessential Paris, we learned a lot about the lead up and events surrounding the French Revolution.
Good for history buffs and those wanting an energetic guided walking tour.
Fun and informative

Our guide Aaron was great. He was very knowledgeable, funny and nice. His story telling style kept you engaged. Seeing the tuileries garden and Place de la Concorde was amazing. Answered any questions we had. Would recomend this tour to a history fan or a person with a moderate level interest alike.
