Cycle Versailles gardens, shop its historic market, picnic by the Grand Canal, then explore the palace and royal retreats.

“This was such a great way to see Versailles. As a solo traveler, it was nice to be in a small group of 10-11 ppl. The tour was on time and largely stuck to the schedule. There was more than enough time at most stops and we really got to do a lot of different things. From walking around the market to biking around the grounds and having a picnic along the water, it truly was a great day. A great time and I’d say well worth the money! Also, our tour guide Theo was awesome, fun, and engaging!”

We were upgraded to the small group tour so got to tour the king's apartment which was an added bonus. That made the day long but well worth it. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Rory!”

“Inexperienced guide, some wrong information and lots of "I don't know" answers to questions. Guide spoke 5% of the time maximum. Tour started 30 minutes late, we had to wait 30 minutes for people being late, tour guide bike broke and took 15 minutes to fix and we had to drop off the bikes which is 30 minutes ride back plus 15 minute walk to the Chateau. We had less than 2 hours to explore the Chateau before it closed. The guide told us it would be open till after 10 pm, it closed at 6 pm. Experience was poor, would not recommend this company as half the time was…”

“Loved it!! The pace was perfect and comfortable. All of the information/history presented was interesting with humorous anecdotes:-). The only thing that I would have appreciated would be bicycles with gears to adjust the pedaling difficulty along the journey. There was a strike the day of our tour which limited our access to some areas but adjustments were made and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall it was wonderful and I would highly recommend this tour and especially our guide, Thibont (I hope I spelled that correctly) Merci💕”

“Our trip was great and our guide was fantastic. The weather was terrible the day we took the tour but our whole group stayed and pushed through the downpour. Our guide helped encourage us and watched all the bikes in the rain while all the guests waited in a dry area. If this was the worst the tour could get then it is still worth it at its lowest point. We hope to come back and take the tour again with the same guide and see the tour at its best. Thank you for a great day”
