History
Fat Tire Tours was established in 1999 with the goal of being a bridge between the English-speaking traveler and Paris. In 2003, the first Segway tour in the world began in our Paris office. Segways were a new and exciting device that the world had never seen, much less used as a means of touring transportation. Our owner, David Mebane, knew he had uncovered something special and began looking around at major world cities to found new tour offices. On a chilly winter day, David and a friend borrowed a few bikes and set out to explore Grant Park as it slumbered under a blanket of fresh snow. Despite the cold and the fact that the park was so quiet that day, David immediately saw the potential in Chicago and set about constructing a team to begin tour operations in the spring and City Segway Tours of Chicago was born. City Segway Tours is the largest Segway tour company in the world with multiple operations in Europe and North America.
