Irving! - My wife and I had a fantastic day! From starting in the farmers market to walking around the charming little city of Versailles to picnicking along the bike tour and finally visiting the palace, the entire time was great. Irving, our guide, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. He was less so of a tour guide and more of a laid back travel companion, pausing to have really engaging conversations along the way. We still look back and have a laugh at some of the bizarre info we learned from him. Very well paced day and definitely a memorable one from our trip. Strongly recommend this activity.

Biking through Versailles - This tour was beautiful! Our tour guide, Michael, was very personable and knowledgeable. Not only was he educated on the subject matter, but he shared his travel experiences which was also very nice.

Perfect day at a palace - My partner and I loved biking around Versailles. We were lucky to have gorgeous weather and sunny skies. Our tour guide, Arnaud, was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. The grounds are so delightful! The bike riding takes a moderate amount of skill- there were two small hills and a bit of traffic to contend with, but Arnaud made sure we were all safe, and we took many breaks while he told us about the history. He gave great recommendations for food at the Versailles farmers market, and our picnic was delicious. This is a wonderful tour!

Just book it! - Probably the best tour I went on while I was in Europe! We has such a wonderful time. Visiting the town and getting to shop in the market for our picnic lunch was so fun. Riding the bikes was nice because you can go at your own pace and it's not scary traffic. But the most relaxing part is sitting out on the lawn picnicking. You get to see the summer Palace and the gardens. The day is taken up mostly by these things. You get the opportunity to visit the main Palace but we didn't get a lot of time to explore it. But overall the tour and tour guide were amazing!

Wonderful way to see it all! - Start the day in Versailles at the local farmers market to pick out food for the picnic. Grab your bike, make sure to pick one with a fun name. (Mine was Je t'aime). Bikes had baskets and rain coats which were very handy. Antoine our guide was full of knowledge and made our tour much more interesting. I didn’t realize how extensive this complex is. This is a seriously fun way to explore and also work off some of the calories from all the croissants I have eaten.

Good routes, guides but bike quality is an issue. - Guides are lovely and routes good in Paris and Versailles. The problem is your bikes- having done 2 tours with you the bikes really are substandard- both times we tried 6+ bikes to try and get ones with anything like functional brakes. All bikes look like they have had a hard life and it really shows mechanically- also NO baskets provided. Compared to competition we saw en route both bike tours we did with you, your bike fleet really needs improving
