5-Stars - Highly Recommend - We had a fantastic experience on the Versailles Bike Tour with Toby. He was educational without being overwhelming, added the perfect touch of humor, and took great care of our group throughout the day. We were definitely tired by the end, but that was more from the sunshine and all the fun activities than anything else! This tour is a wonderful way to explore the Versailles grounds and learn along the way. Highly recommend!

A Highlight of our Trip! - So happy we decided on a Fat Tire Tour. This company knows what they are doing and the entire day was very well run. Directions to get to the meeting point were very exact. We met our guide Toby, who made everyone at ease with making introductions among us and going over the entire day's events. Toby was very easygoing, knowledgeable, humorous and caring. Highlight was going to the outdoor market and buying our lunch for the picnic. Not pictured on the website were the baskets on the bikes to hold goodies, but bring a backpack or market bag. A little cycling in traffic in Versailles, but mostly on the grounds of Versailles Palace. Did more walking than was expected and as warned it was a long day. But would not have missed it! In fact I will look for Fat Tire Tours from now on in my travels.

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.

A trip highlight with a few logistical challenges - This was great. They should just meet you at versailles because the meet up location is confusing. Great tour guide. There are no bathrooms readily available which made for a long day - not one at bile shop unless buy something at shops (this seems nuts). It was a long, great day. The trains leaving versailles at the end of the day are packed with hundreds of people. Many had trouble with the tickets they provided not working and guides are gone at that point. We had to stand in a long line and buy new tickets. They valued that time at $5 refund. Guides was great. Biking is lovely way to see property. Guide in the apartments was very good, but we were tired. I would reverse the day.
