The BEST way To Tour Versailles
Karim_R
, May 2022
Joshua was an amazing guide, he went through all the history of Versailles Palace, and was right on point with timing, all while engaging and making everyone laugh throughout the tour! Biking through was the easiest, most efficient, and most enjoyable way to see all of the Palace in a day. I HIGHLY recommend booking this tour, it was one of the best parts of our trip!

Alan_J
, May 2022
The meet-up at the cafe was easy, our guide walked us to the Metro and rode with us to Versailles. There was a quick ride to the local market halls to pick up picnic food and then a bike tour of the fountains and gardens as well as the Trianon, Petit Trianon, and the Queen’s fake peasant village. We had a picnic and then back to the Chateau for a self-guided tour so we could all go at our own pace.
What really made our visit exceptional was our tour guide Joshua. His knowledge of French history and the context of the development of Versailles and the French Revolution was extraordinary, and his witty insights and perspective made the visit entertaining and educational.

Great bike tour to Versailles from Paris!
Shirley_P
, Apr 2022
We had a marvelous time thanks in large part to our guide, Marley, who met us in Paris and rode with us to Versailles on the train. After we got our bikes in Versailles, our first stop at a local market was very helpful for folks who did not have gloves as it was very cold. Then once in the HUGE gardens, it became very apparent that riding a bike was the best and most fun way to get around.
Marley was a very experienced guide and did a wonderful job keeping our group of 13 people safe and together. We enjoyed listening to the information she provided and many incidental stories about being an American living in Paris. After riding through the gardens, we visited the Château Versailles on our own using the ticket Marley gave us. The free audio headsets provided by the entrance were helpful. By the time we headed back to Paris on the train, we were amaed how fast 8+ hours had flown by. We highly recommend this tour for folks who are comfortable riding a bike and would like to see key parts of both the Versailles gardens and the Château Versailles.

A wonderful was to see Versailles!
Julia_M
, Oct 2021
My husband and I did this tour together and we enjoyed every minute of it! Josh was a wonderful tour guide – he was so knowledgeable and friendly that he made it a truly enjoyable experience. We felt like it had just the right mix of bicycling and walking, and we enjoyed getting to see so much of the grounds of Versailles. We also loved going to the outdoor market in the morning and having the picnic lunch on the banks of the grand Canal – a beautiful experience all around. We met friendly people from different places and that was just an added bonus. We also like to meeting at the coffee shop in the morning which was not too far from our hotel and that made the entire experience so much easier – we aren’t that familiar with the metro system here, so having our tickets purchased for us and a guide bringing us to the trains was extremely helpful. We also lucked out by having a beautiful, sunny, 70° day in mid October – couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Would not recommend (Tourist Trap)
Ryan_G
, Oct 2019
I would not recommend. You spend most of the day off of the bikes and are really only on them to commute from one side of the estate to the other. It’s also very inefficient. Large amounts of time spent chaining the bikes each time you get on and off.
The biggest inconvenience was after lunch you have to leave Versailles and pedal back into the city to return your bike. ONLY once returned can you actually go into the palace of Versailles. By that time it was already 3:30pm and to top it off your tour guide doesn’t even accompany into the actual palace.
Please don’t waste your money.

This tour was so much fun. Our guide, Dan, was very fun, knowledgeable and organized. I would definitely recommend this tour it was the highlight of my trip to Paris. I almost cancelled Bc I got lazy a few days before, but I’m really glad I went.
I would definitely do this tour again next time I’m back in France.

Wonderful way to tour the grounds
sylviacoyle
, Aug 2019
Our tour guide, Josh and his shadow, Charlie, were wonderful. They were both from England and were engaging an knowledgeable. They took care to keep us hydrated as it was a record setting day for heat in Paris and the surrounding areas. They shared that, by law, restaurants have to fill your water bottle on request and showed us where the refill stations were throughout our trip. They gave us the scoop on where to buy our picnic supplies. The metro trip over was quick - the information interesting and the scenery lovely. We never felt rushed. Ten out of ten recommend.
Not probably planned
Yana_M
, Jul 2019
The excursion seems to be not probably planned and organised. First. you have to go all the way from the centre of Paris to Versaille in public transport. No use of centrally located meeting point then(((secondly, a lot of time is wasted on getting the bikes and taking them back. The market is a nice idea, although it' also seems to be a bit of waste of time. The picnic was nice, though. The bike route seems to be strange- we saw a lot of country side which is actually not exciting at all. The hamlet was the only nice part.
What is important: the ticket doesn't give a right to priority pass. We got to the queue only at about, had to wait for about 40 minutes, so didn't get much time inside.
Our guide Rachel was Ok, but a bit overtalkative as for me .. she also should have got us into the line - that would have been nice and suitable.
The group was great, if you read it - thank you guys :-)

Wonderful day!

, Jul 2019
Loved that we could see more on a bike. Rachel was great and I loved the people who joined me that day. Didn’t know I had to shop for a snack (wine, cheese, bread and fruit) once we arrived at Versailles via metro, as shopping in an open market not knowing the language was a challenge for me, but it worked out and the picnic on the chateau grounds was a treat!

Stephen G

Excellent day out and great way to see all the main areas of the palace and gardens. Cycling was enjoyable but to be honest I didn't enjoy the part through Versailles itself but that is partly because I am not used to riding a bike through traffic. Could also be slower paced. Was a bit too rushed for me. I was there to see the sights and enjoy the scenery, not to pretend I am Tour de France material. All in all a lovely day though. Any day at the palace of Versailles would be perfect. Also the little market where you pick up your lunch supplies is so lovely.

We had a perfect day at Versailles with our tour guide Aly. Weather was great and no crowds!!! Amazing experience and totally worth it. We had already been there before, but this tour changed our prespective of the gardens. I would say biking is the best way to get to know them. We were able to ride all around the grand canal and enjoy the forest and beautiful views of the palace. The market, the gardens, the views and the picnic made this one of our favorite experiences of our trip.

Got to see quite a lot of Versailles. However, this trip did not meet expectations. Expected a leisurely ride through the gardens, got a MAJOR hike instead. And we're pushed to hustle along. MUST be in excellent physical condition to do this trip. Also, the inability to use the bathroom was an issue

Our tour guide was amazing!! Aly was very knowledgeable and helpful. We thought she was awesome, we would totally recommend it for anyone looking for an amazing Versailles/French experience. The picnic part was something that we probably would not have done on our own and will remember forever.
