Our guide, Pete, was personable and knowledgeable, fun and forgiving. He gave you just enough information at just the right time. The tour was great! Pete was great! We enjoyed everything about it especially the hunting for picnic supplies at the Versaille market. It is a long day, and it is a bike tour...so I would recommend being in pretty good shape. The restroom situation, like everywhere I have been in Europe, is spotty...lots of tourists + inadequate public restrooms = long lines. I would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Paris! It was amazing! The palace was so beautiful and the experience of going to the market to select your picnic items and then have a picnic in front of the palace was unforgettable! The tour guide was very professional and was very nice and really made the tour enjoyable. One thing to note, when you go to the Palace you must visit the Palace first before the gardens because they will not let you in to the Palace after the gardens without waiting in line again. We made this mistake because it looked like it was going to rain and we went to the gardens first and were not able to get in the Palace. The actual time for the Palace and garden tour is too short and I would have loved to spend more time there but the tour was still totally worth every penny and more!

GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! GOOD! Our 1st day in Fraandnce what a fantastic way to see Versailles on bike. We definitely saw more than the Chateau itself. The grounds around the Chateau were too vast to cover by foot alone! The picnic by the Grand Canal was superb! We even had a "French-like" picnic with fantastic cheese! Our guide, Paul was funny and made the tour a memorable one. Definitely recommend this tour to all.

This Bike Tour of Versailles was actually the fourth tour I have done with them and each one has been very enjoyable. Unfortunately the day of our bike tour it was FREEZING cold which made it difficult to enjoy. However, our guide Tim from Australia was very fun and we enjoyed hearing all the history. We had visited Versailles the year before and really enjoyed Marie Antoinette's Hamlet and so were disappointed to learn that on this tour we would not enter the Hamlet or either Trianon for that matter. We did enjoy the bike riding and the picnic at the Grand Canal. We were also very glad to hear that we would not be taking the bikes on the train - we picked them up just outside the train station. Overall a wonderful tour if you can do it on a warm and sunny day!
