Fabulous experience in Versailles - This is a wonderful excursion that was worth every penny! Our tour guide, Agathe, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and organized. We were able to see the town, the gardens of Versailles, as well as the palace. We bought food at the local market place and had a splendid picnic in the park. It was an all around lovely day and experience.

Wheeling around Versailles - Nefi made our trip memorable. She and the other bike wranglers made sure our bikes fit and gave us rain gear and helmets. It drizzled at times but not too wet. Nefi gave us history lessons without overwhelming us. The bike ride was a little long for me but I don't routinely bike 10 miles and walk 15K steps . Going to Petit Trianon was a treat, The flowers and trees were at peak bloom. We enjoyed the Versailles market and had a good lunch at Le Boeuf a la Mode. Would recommend this tour.

Excellent Tour of Versailles! - I’m so glad we booked this Bike Tour of Versailles! I loved that we got to see both the town and the Palace. I was initially quite nervous about the crowds. While the palace itself was quite busy, the gardens and Marie Antoinette’s hamlet were much less busy. Because we entered the palace last, towards the end of our day I think we also missed out on the height of the visitors. The market was a super fun stop, though it was very busy so I wish we were afforded more time there. Our guide, Clara, was personable and fun. She gave a lot of interesting information and stories throughout the tour. Biking was a more relaxing way to get around from place to place, but we had our most stair-packed day in Paris the day prior, having done the Lourve, Sacré Cœur, and climbing L’Arc de Triomphe all in a single day - as a result I found myself quite exhausted with the bikes but it was well worth it!
