Excellent tour - very well organised. I highly recommend this tour as a way to see the estate. One of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Loved the flexibility at the end of the tour to spend the evening in Versailles and catch a later train back.

we had a great time, the weather was sleeting and bitterly cold, but it did not stop us and the guide was brilliant, very patient as we are in our sixtys and my wife hadn't ridden a bike until we decided to do this tour 4 month ago. I would recommend this tour to all it is worth it. Everything was great

Loved every minute of it. Tour guide very nice and knowledgeable. Everyone at the bike shop spoke English and that was nice since I don't speak French.

Beautiful way to spend a day in Versailles. Fun visit to a market to pick up lunch picnic, We enjoyed being able to see the gardens, which would have been impossible on foot. Teens in our family loved it.

This tour was brilliant, thoroughly enjoyed our day even tho it was a bit cold and drizzly, it was a very beautiful way to see Versailles. Our guide, Bill, was very friendly and fun and a handy bike mechanic too! :)
We will be doing a Fat Tire bike tour in Barcelona too, we loved it, thank you.

For a couple who haven't ridden bikes in a while, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour around the Palace of Versailles with guide, Nick. He was friendly, welcoming, very funny and well versed on French history - if he didn't know something, he found out.
Loved shopping at the markets for lunch provisions, then picnicking at a spot over looking the palace itself. Our guide had a basket to store the goodies if you didn't pack a bag big enough for lunch.
The bike ride itself wasn't too strenuous but there were a few spots where we felt out of breath; however in saying that, you travelled at your own pace and if there were any concerns, Nick was there to support you. We were lucky that the weather was sunny but still very cold, particularly in the shade - so dress warmly with gloves especially.
We loved the gardens (although there was some post-Winter construction going on at the time of out visit) and preferred them to battling the crowds in the palace. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.

Ladies this is the way to get your man to Versailles! The description is spot on you will see so much more of the grounds than if you just tour the palace. The market is am extra bonus for some true French living. We truly enjoyed our guide as well.

This is probably the best way to get the full experience that Versailles has to offer. Our guide was great. He was enthusiastic and knowledgable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting the Paris area.
