Much more adventurous than taking the train! - Enjoyed passing through the parks and small village on the way to Versailles. The e-bikes made the hills and trails easy to handle

Fantastic Trip - 100/10. Total success. Renaud has thought everything through. Clear instructions and communication beforehand. High quality e-bikes. It was a cold, blustery day, and he provided high-quality rain ponchos (not little garbage bags but real, warm, high-visibility, products) and warm biking gloves. He was patient with the people who were new at e-bikes and trusted those that had experience. The trip out of the city was a little tricky but most of the trip was through beautiful countryside. At Versailles, we had some time to stroll the gardens (maybe 45 minutes) and then went to fantastic outdoor market for lunch (the weather was bad enough for us to not do the picnic). Then back to Versailles with enough time to the Grand Apartments tour (with the Hall of Mirrors). Overall, this was an EXCELLENT experience.

Great day!! - Modern Trek e-bikes and a great way to spend a whole day on a bike from Paris to Versailles and back. Picking out our own good for the picnic on the palace grounds was icing on the cake. The e-bikes were the great equalizer for some with limited experience, but if you are not comfortable on a bike for a few hours, even though the seats are very comfortable, you may want to pass on this excursion. Worth every penny!!

Versailles by Electric Bike - Our full day electric bike trip from Paris to
Versailles was fantastic! Renauds information prior to the trip was detailed and he was very well organised on the day! We were very lucky as the other couple didn’t arrive and we had a private tour with Renaud. The bikes were very good (mine was brand new) and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the ride out of Paris along the paths and streets, then through the forest park, cute village and into the town of Versailles. We loved shopping at the local market for a beautiful picnic lunch to eat on the canal at the rear of the palace. Renaud was a kind, attentive host/guide and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day. This excursion was a highlight of our trip to Paris! It is a MUST DO! Thank you Renaud!

Overall recommend. Would change a couple things. - Great tour although the weather was chilly and on and off rain but for most part weather held out. Definitely recommend tennis shoes and clothes to bike in including rain jacket, hat to cover ears and gloves are a must if it’s weather like we had, overcast and 50s. Guide did provide helmets and rain coverings for legs if was really rainy but we didn’t need them with misting rain.
This is quite a bike adventure, it’s 25 miles total on e-bikes with a decent amount of off roading, hopping curbs and some dicey terrain. Our guide was great! It’s a really long day, Versailles is super crowded but our tickets did get us in a little faster, but if you don’t like crowds or touristy things I would not go. We had free time to explore indoors and outdoors.
It was overwhelming to take in with so many people and so much history and so much to see.
Could definitely be done in smaller groups as our group of 10 was quite large for such a long ride. Met some great friends in our group. We were all Americans and 4 other people in our group were from our town in the US randomly!
