Best tour in Paris - Every minute of this tour was fantastic. From the meeting point to the end, our Guide David was exceptional. It was a nice size group of 3 couples and we all got along great. Loved all the biking. Plenty of time for shopping and great suggestions for lunch. Stopping at Versailles for a picnic was so fun. We were able to chat and learn about each other as well as a lot of great history about Versailles. David our guide was amazing. Best guide we’ve had in Paris.

Great tour! - We had a wonderful experience with David, our guide. We enjoyed his sense of humor and appreciated his knowledge of the history. We had a beautiful, sunny day and seeing the grounds of Versailles by bike was terrific. There were parts in which bikes were not allowed so it became a walking tour. He delivered us to the entrance of Versailles so we could tour the interior on our own. It was a seamless, excellent experience from start to finish and we highly recommend!

Must do Versailles bike tour - We did this Versailles bike tour as a family of 3 and it was the highlight of our trip to France. My daughter aged 4 loved the bike ride, she sat tandem on what they called a long tail bike (tandem rider has no pedals just a footrest and bike handles). Marley was our tour guide and we felt the pace of the tour was perfect. We went on a Sunday when the fountains were turned on and the marketplace was open for Sunday market. Perfect timing! October 60F is great biking weather! I would say this Versailles bike tour is a must do unless you can’t ride a bike

Fun experience! - Great experience! There is a little bit bumper that our train station was closed. But our guide managed to catch everything up. We experienced sun, cloud, rain. So much fun biking in the huge garden.

Best way to see Versailles - We had a great experience with our guide David. He was funny and great at explaining the history of Versailles. The bikes were in great working condition and the itinerary had great pacing. It allowed us to see way more than we would’ve seen on foot. It was a great way to explore Versailles, highly recommended

Historical context - We are now just starting to appreciate Marley's excellent royal-history-in-a-capsule This provided excellent context to "the remnants of royal existence" (Carnavalet Museum may be a good follow-up to the royal soap opera)

Bikes, Rain, and Gold - David was an excellent tour guide. He was professional and also very friendly, which made the tour very enjoyable. He conveyed the historical facts about Versailles and the people who lived there in a clear and interesting way. It rained during the tour and David remained upbeat and also provided much appreciated ponchos. Despite rain it was a fun day. I would recommend the tour to friends.

Great day on Versailles bike tour. - We had a great day with our guide David in Versailles. Doing the bike tour is definitely the best way to take in the sites. The gardens, market, and biking through the grounds we actually found to be the best part of the trip. Also, the Peloton Cafe serves fantastic coffee. All the guides and staff were super friendly. We would absolutely book with them again.
