Great family tour - This bike tour was a fantastic experience for our family, including our two teenagers. Nafi, our knowledgeable tour guide, kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed, allowing us to enjoy everything listed in the tour description in just one day. Although I missed the e-bikes we used on a previous tour, the charming bikes provided were perfectly suitable and got us everywhere we needed to go.

Lovely rainy ride! Nafi is the BEST!! - Nafi gave us an unforgettable experience! Having a personable, knowledgable and funny guide made the bike ride in the rain worth it. Nafi's tour included interesting historical facts presented as stories and food samples (which I didn't have on my last bike tour to Versailles)! We had a range of 10-65 year olds in our group so this bike tour is for EVERYONE! The bike ride has a hill that I was waiting for but we all did it! Thank you again, Nafi!

Great experience and our guide, Agathe, was engaging, very knowledgeable and fun! The palace and gardens- wow! - What a fun day! We knew Versailles was going to be on our list, and the bike trip was just the thing to keep the kids engaged. Our guide, Agathe, was knowledgeable and very entertaining. She took the time to learn about all members in the group and was so easy to talk to. We really enjoyed her! Learning about the castle and the politics of the time was fascinating. Marie Antoinette’s Hamlet was incredibly charming. The bikes were so cute, the cheese tasting was fun, and the picnic along the canal was just the thing to allow us to relax for a bit. Very enjoyable!

Choose this business for bike tours! - We did two tours with this company. A half day tour in Paris and the a full day tour of Versailles. Both were fantastic. Bikes are in great condition and your guides are local, licensed and incredibly knowledgeable. Highly recommend this small business.

A great day in Versailles! - Our tour guide, Eleanor, was a lot of fun to spend the day with! She was very knowledgeable and kind and made sure everyone was well taken care of. We got to see and learn about the beautiful palace of Versailles, its gardens, and Marie Antoinette’s beautiful hamlet. We loved shopping at the market and the picnic by the grand canal was a perfect way to break for lunch.

An experience not to be missed - Had an excellent tour of everything Versailles had to offer, including a picnic by the canal and a visit to Marie Antoinette's hamlet. It was a thrilling experience to bike ride through the town and Versailles palace grounds. Our guide Eleanor, was amazing and spent time getting to know each visitor in our group. Definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit Versailles. Plus your bike has its own name

What an awesome Experience - What a way to see Versailles. The bikes ensure you see so much more. Our guide Agate was awesome. Her knowledge and the way she handled our group with both respect and humour added so much to the day

Fun, friendly & informative - Agathe our guide was the best. She was fun to be with and very knowledgeable. The tour is very smoothly run with great attention to detail. It was a lovely warm, breezy day. We visited Versailles town to pick up supplies for our lunchtime picnic, which we had at the side of the canal. The views from there were wonderful. The cycle ride was leisurely and a great way to see not only the town but the area around Versailles Chateau. I would highly recommend this tour.
