Versailles with family - We had a great experience with our guide Dave who was incredibly knowledgable. He even took us to Marie Antoinette's Hamlet which was a special treat. It was enjoyed by all!

Don't miss this! - Even though it rained all day, our guides made this very memorable. You really need a bike to get around like we did to the gardens and the Triananons. We even had a picnic lunch of things we each bought in the market. Our guides gave us a lot of the history, and after returning the bikes he took us to the entrance to the Palace of Versailles, including the King's Apartments and the Hall of Mirrors. It was an all day affair, though, so be prepared. And it is rain or shine.

Exceeded our expectations! - Our bike tour of Versailles was an unforgettable experience and the perfect way to spend our last day in France for my husband and me. From the moment we met our guide, Davy, we knew we were in good hands. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the history of Versailles come alive in a way we never expected. The scenery was stunning, the pace was just right, and biking through the beautiful grounds felt like a dream. This tour exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Davy. Highly recommend!

So fun! - Mother/daughter college graduation trip! So amazing. Martin, our guide, was really helpful, knowledgeable & kind. Walked us to AND from our hotel to Versailles. He was super patient with our mishaps & tardiness. Highly recommend this tour.

A great way to tour versailles - My teenage daughter and I did this together and we both enjoyed it! I believe this was a better way for us to tour Versailles than anything we would have come up with on our own. It was great to have a guide, and Nick knew tons of info about France, Versailles, history, food, wine, you name it! The highlight, though, was the biking. We loved it!

Fun and Worth the Money - Really fun and the VIP access to different parts of the grounds and private areas of in the Palace was worth the price. It poured rain on us, and we still loved it. Our biking guide was great, and our Palace tour guide was too.

Lovely day at Versailles - We had an excellent time. OJ was an amazing guide, and handled the group (some of whom really needed handling) very well. We zipped all around the grounds (surprisingly deserted) and had a lovely picnic. I am nervous biking on streets, but OJ explained everything, and I felt very safe.
One suggestion: at the end, when we were on our own, I was surprised that you needed another ticket to see the gardens. We had been in gardens on the grounds, but not right behind the chateau. I knew I had a ticket on me of some sort, but wasn't sure it was the right thing, and was too tired in the direct sun to go digging for it. It would have been great to be reminded at the end that we had garden tickets that would work for the entry at the chateau. As it was, I bought tickets that I didn't need to buy. My fault, for sure. It's just a suggestion to help others avoid the same mistake.
