Fun Versailles tour - This was an excellent tour of the gardens, with lots of history and interest. Not too strenuous but definitely a lot of walking with plenty of breaks. Our guide Martin was the absolute best! The whole Fat Tires group we dealt with were so helpful.

So much to do and see - Our guide, Fergus, was very friendly, funny and knowledgeable. The grounds were lovely. There was so much to see, that we ran out of time, but the tour did not disappoint!

Wonderful Trip to Versailles - Aaron was an amazing tour guide who not only was funny but brought to life the stories of Versailles. One of the best tour guides we have had and made sure to take care of us with asking if we needed anything throughout the tour. Book book book!

Incredibly beautiful and historic. - Husband, granddaughter and I did a tour of Versailles and the gardens with Martine from Fat Tire Tours. It was an incredible place to visit especially with such a great guide. I have "mobility issues" and though I do my best to keep up, I wind up at the back of any group. Martine was very attuned to this and gave little breaks for me to catch up. When I opted out of part of the gardens, he was understanding and suggested a resting spot. Husband and granddaughter continued and said I missed some beautiful places. Martine was very informative, but made the plethora of history fun to listen to. He would make a great teacher. Tour ended at the Chateau which was a good idea as to try to keep a group, even a small one, would have made it less pleasant. His suggestions and instructions on returning were clear and helpful. Even granddaughter said Martine was impressive and very nice. I highly recommend this tour and Guide.
