Everything was great! - It was a great and wonderful day at Versallies. Our tour guide, Ogulcan, was the best tour guide ever. Everything was made very simple and easy for us so that we could enjoy our day.

Fun family day! - Wonderful day. Our tour guide Harrison was fun and knowledgeable. Enjoying hitting the markets to grab lunch. Biking around the gardens with lovely. The VIP tour of the palace was ok, but at the end of a long day in the sun I would rather have just wandered the palace solo. All in, excellent experience.

The best way to truly see Versailles! - According to all the travel guides and articles I read before coming to France, Fat Tires has been doing bike tours all over the world longer and better than anyone. So even though it wasn’t the first company listed on Trip Advisor for a Versailles bike tour, I booked them anyway. They lived up to their stellar reputation! From the personalized app they provided for our trip, to the video that showed the exact meeting point, to the fabulous guide (OJ), they didn’t disappoint. They were both organized and thorough. The amount of time allocated for each stop was perfect, and for us the highlights were everything before the actual palace— the market, lunch by the lake, the Trinanons and Queen’s Hamlet. There is no way to see all of this on foot; the full grounds are far too large and extensive. This was worth every penny we paid! *Special recognition: once we picked up the bikes, my adult daughter realized she forgot how to ride a bike (yes, I guess you actually can forgot this after riding as a child!) and decided she couldn’t do the tour with us after all. Our guide (OJ) was kind and understanding. He took the time to map out an alternative plan for her day. She ate at the market, relaxed at a cafe, visited street vendors, and toured the gardens on her own by foot with a map he provided. Then she later met us at the palace for the timed entry to tour the palace at the end. This could have been a disaster and ruined the day for us, but OJ handled everything like a professional and was both compassionate and efficient—making sure the group schedule stayed on track and on time. And, making sure my daughter still saw the palace and gardens. Thanks so much, OJ!

Absolutely perfect - The best day of the trip! This was an incredible tour and the highlight of our trip to Paris. The equipment worked great- our guide was great and the market to stop to get food was amazing.

Great Tour - But There are Risks - The best way to see as much of Versailles as possible is on a bike tour. Our guide, Nick, had a wonderful knowledge of the history of Versailles and a great sense of humor. Unfortunately, one of our group of four fell and fractured her ankle. My recommendations are (a) the guide should instruct people to get off of their bikes on the street and not pull up onto the grass areas, where everyone gets congested on uneven ground; and (b) they need to have some form of transportation out of the grounds when someone is hurt. She had to walk to the front of the palace and then all of the way to the street for us to get a taxi back to Paris. Luckily the bone did not dislocate and we were able to get her to a hospital, have it casted, and get back to the U.S. for surgery.

Magical, History, Culture & Fun all in One ! - The trip was not only a breeze because we were so well taken care of, but I cannot imagine a better was to enjoy Versailles ! The brilliance of the way the bike tour is done gets you French culture, amazing food from fresh market (you pick & buy, but wise direction is given), fun history lesson & not to mention riding a bike on the groups of Versailles is magical !!!

Well worth taking the whole family - Toby, our excellent guide, provided a safe, thorough, and fun tour. He handled a flat tire repair without skipping a beat.

Fabulous guide and day in Versailles - I had been to Versailles several times prior to this bike tour with my daughter and granddaughter but this was the best. We happen to hit a day in which the market was in full force. What a treat that was. Our guide Dovi was fantastic. His knowledge and stories about the kings, history and grounds was outstanding. Hope you can get DOVI . He is the best !

Love love loved it! - I could not have loved this more. Starts with a trip to the market to pick up picnic lunch items and then continues with biking around Versailles. Then a picnic lunch by the water - I was so completely charmed by the experience. The guide was awesome as well. I would do this again when visiting this area of France.

Have to be honest - The bike route went through city traffic, had to avoid cars and pedestrians. Inside the park it was often over muddy trails, tree roots and puddles, not the straight paved lanes they show in pictures. The guide was good but rode really fast and you couldn’t look around to enjoy the scenery. You had to keep eyes on the trail just to navigate. The market was great but there were no public bathrooms there so if you had to go you went to a cafe with one bathroom and waited in line for 20 minutes so missed out on seeing much of the market. They should provide bathrooms at the bike shop after the train ride to Versailles. You ride or walk for about 6 hours straight with a short stop for lunch. So by the time we got to the palace a number of those in our group were too pooped to even go in. You see a lot of the grounds and hear the history but the whole time seemed very very rushed.
