Fun time at Versailles

monica, May 2024

Very fun way to tour Versailles. Our guide was very knowledgeable and seemed to really enjoy his work. The grounds of Versailles are huge. Biking was a great way to see much of the beautiful grounds.

Perfect day

Troy_C, May 2024

A must while in Paris!

Sydney_C, May 2024

Agate was phenomenal. She is so intelligent and so funny. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone coming to Paris. Such a beautiful day with lovely people!!

Beautiful bicycling.

Nancy_N, May 2024

The bicycle tour was so beautiful in spite of some cool, windy weather. Nafi was a very personable and knowledgable guide. I would highly recommend this tour.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Abby_m, Apr 2024

Perfect day in Versailles! 10/10 experience with biking, beautiful weather, shopping for lunch in a market, picnic, and a tour!

Great tour!

Randy_S, Apr 2024

This was a great tour and tour guide! It was fun to bike around Versailles and get to know the town and its history. It was fun to go to the markets, pick out food for a picnic and enjoy our meal in view of Versailles palace next to the water. Lunch was followed by a tour of the palace grounds and we wrapped it up with a tour of inside the palace. Don’t miss this one!

Biking Versailles

Julie_W, Apr 2024

What a perfect way to see and experience Versailles! I absolutely loved biking around the city and the gardens and seeing all the sights this way. Our tour guide, Andrea, was so knowledgeable and super funny! He helped make the experience memorable. I only wish we would have eaten lunch a bit earlier. But other than that this tour is excellent. Just bring some snacks to hold you over.

Sunny time on a dreary day

Christopher_S, Apr 2024

Agate was a wonderful guide and had an extensive history of Versailles and the monarchy of France. We were challenged throughout the day with off and on rain showers however she kept the mood positive. We highly recommend this tour!

Loved every moment

Jenny_J, Apr 2024

Every moment of this tour was my favorite! It was not just a tour of Versailles palace and grounds, but biking through the town and shopping in the market added to the experience so much! Our tour had moments of rain, but that did not make this trip any less enjoyable. The rain was quickly followed by sunshine. We all just adapted and the day was so lovely.

A nice (but a little long) day

Caroline_G, Apr 2024

This is a great way to see Versailles & our tour guides were super nice & knowledgable. It's nice how everything was taken care for us (ticket-wise)—all you have to do is show up! The only thing was we felt it could've been an hour or two shorter. There was a fair amount of waiting around, whereas my husband & I are more go, go, go! type of people.

Charming Bike Tour

Casey_S, Apr 2024

The tour itself started out easy. Our guide, Alistar, met us at dedicated site. We enjoyed a quick train ride to Versaille. Upon arrival in Versaille the bikes were waiting. Another person who I presume works for the company met us there. It was drizzling weather, and rain gear was to be provided. The company didn’t have it ready, we had to search bike packs for them ourselves.The guide was kind enough to lend out his own articles to help people. Hat, gloves, etc. Eventually we took off on the bikes assigned to us. We arrived at a local market where our guide gave us wonderful recommendations for food to purchase for the picnic later in the day. We enjoyed our time there and would have liked more. We fought the weather off and on for much of the day. The tour included more biking than expected at a faster pace than the group could sometimes keep up with due to bike issues. There was a lot of back and forth on the grounds that didn’t always seem to make sense logistically. Our guide was charming, moderately engaging…etc. my complaint was with the bikes themselves. We had at least 4 people on our 11 person tour that had issues. Brakes not working well, gears not changing properly, flat tires..etc. one person unable to stop due to poor breaks, ran into another oncoming biker. Both took a spill. A single water bottle provided on the bikes would have gone a long way as well. Overall it was a good experience, but this company needs to maintain bike fleet better.

Our favorite day!

Sylvia_K, Apr 2024

The entire experience was amazing! We loved our guides, as well as all of the activities we completed during the day! The picnic was extremely unique, and of course, the palace was stunning! We will definitely be back!

The perfect day in Versailles

Meredith_B, Apr 2024

This tour is a must do while in Paris! First we toured the palace with our very informative guide. Then we biked to a market where we shopped for our picnic lunch. The biking through Versailles was so beautiful and the picnic in the garden was amazing! After lunch we rode our bikes to tour Marie Antoinette’s hamlet. This tour was our favorite day in Paris. Highly recommend!

Tres Bon by bike!

Danielle_T, Apr 2024

Such a great tour with Nicolas! Great way to see Versailles and being a leisurely bike rider (I typically only ride bikes once a year when we go on vacation and take some sort of bike tour) this was very doable! The stops were great and Nicolas was amazing!

The most amazing...

Claudia_K, Mar 2024

The most amazing experience! Naffy is a great guide! She took us to best places around Versailles. We loved it.

I loved the tour

Yvonne_T, Mar 2024

Stopping to enjoy each site, the only thing was it was a little more difficult than I expected. I hadn't biked in years and my legs were not ready to ride that long. It was so beautiful though and worth it.

Book Versailles with a guide, more interesting

Andy_N, Mar 2024

Excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable which made it very interesting. She was very friendly and fun. Thank you for a great tour.

Being able to cover miles...

Beverly_N, Mar 2024

Being able to cover miles of Versailles compared to walking. Seeing the lake close up, the market, the ride was all spectacular.

Wet but wonderful.

Kaitlyn_S, Dec 2023

It was raining for a decent amount of the trip, but oh was it lovely. The gloomy weather gave all the sites a beautiful moody atmosphere and it was a very lovely day. Such stunning places. Would definitely recommend!

Fun and breathtaking experience

Mark_F, Dec 2023

The whole trip was wonderful. Our tour guide Claire was extremely knowledgeable about the city and palace and was very welcoming to a variety of travelers from around the world. This was the highlight to our trip to Paris.
