Wonderful day in Versailles - We loved our day in Versailles with Clara. She was a wonderful guide- warm, informative, interesting and engaged. The tour was the perfect blend of history, nature, bike riding and being able to explore on our own. We loved learning all about the incredible history of Versailles and the present culture, as well as biking and walking through the incredible grounds and gardens. We would absolutely recommend the experience and are thankful to Clara for such a memorable day!

Experience Versailles from a different vantage point! - We went for the Versailles cycling tour, and our tour guide, Naffy, was very good and informative. She took the effort to make our experience as smooth and fun as possible. For example, she showed us the less-known parts of Versailles, like the queen's village. she gave us recommendations on what to buy at the Versailles market, as well as providing us with all the picnic materials (including mats, cutlery and cups). In addition, she made sure to take good care of the well being of the entire group, and ensure that the group were all together at key points of the tour before moving off. All in all, it was a very good experience!

Fantastic Tour of Versailles! - A friend and I took the all-day tour of Versailles in Nov of 2024. Our tour guide, Clara, was absolutely wonderful! She shared so much fascinating information about the history of Versailles in such an accessible and entertaining way. The pace of the tour was perfect with the the right balance of time spent both in and around the chateau, biking, and exploring the markets. We loved biking through the town and around the gardens of Versailles— especially in the Fall when the leaves were changing! Marie Antionette's hamlet was a real highlight. I would highly recommend the tour and especially Clara to anyone visiting Paris!

Bike Tour Review- November - Our bike tour with Clara was one of the highlights of our trip. This is the best way to see and understand Versailles. Even with the cold weather in November, the entire day was enjoyable.

Magical Bike Tour - This was truly a fantastic experience and I will definitely be doing it again during my next trip to Paris.
The tour guide was phenomenal with all of her knowledge and the group we had were from all over the world and we were able to all get to know each other.
We had a rainy day but the experience was still a magical and wonderful. I know I was worried about riding a bike because I had not been on one for years but these bikes were so cute and the seat was wide so it was comfortable to ride the bike all day.
The market that we were taken to was so cute and it had everything you needed for the picnic.
I highly recommend this tour because it made visiting Versailles so much more magical and it truly beats just a tour walking around the palace.

Great Day at Versaille - Our tour with Clara was so enjoyable! She was an excellent guide and Versaille was beautiful! The group size was perfect too, not too large, & very interactive. The biking was great & I felt we were able to see a lot more than if we had been walking.
