Our Unique Story
A young American created Fat Tire Bike Tours in Paris, France in May 1999 and since that first day, the company has led hundreds of thousands of customers through Paris, Versailles and Normandy on bicycle.
In 2003, Fat Tire was asked to lead a group of journalists around Paris while riding on the new state of the art machines called Segways. While we rode bicycles, the journalists rode Segways and we were only permitted to try out the Segways at the Louvre.
City Segway Tours Is Born
The machines were fantastic and the ease at which one could maneuver was impressive. Suddenly we were much more photographed and interesting to others than the Louvre’s pyramid and bingo, the idea for City Segway Tours was born. Since these humble beginnings in 2003, we have expanded to open multiple operations in both Europe and the USA. As soon as we opened in Chicago, we knew we had yet another destination perfectly suited for Segways. It became abundantly clear that the history of the city didn’t change if you were walking, riding on a Segway, or riding a tour bus. But with the distance between these sites, we realized you could get closer on Segway without tiring yourself from walking.
