5.00Arnaud was a great guide. The food market was fantastic and the bikes were a great way to see the grounds while keeping reasonably cool on a very hot day.
The best way to travel in a heat wave

5.00Despite the terrible heat wave that held Paris for a week, this tour was a delight. Biking through the grounds of Versailles allowed us to create our own breeze, and felt a good 10 cooler than the 105 it was. Our group was friendly, smart, and fun. However, our guide Aaron was what pulled it all together. His charm, good nature, and personality made for a special day.
Our best experience on our Paris trip

5.00I took my daughter and two granddaughters (ages 16 and 17) to Paris. We all agree that our bike tour of Versailles was the best experience of everything we did. Thibault was a great guide. We loved the biking of the huge Versailles property. Thibault taught us a lot of history along the way which I loved. It was great having a picnic on the lawn with the palace in the far background. I am a 78 year old grandma and I'm proud that I did the ride and had a great time. I highly recommend this tour.
Versailles - Wonderful Market & Bike Tour

5.00Let’s be honest. The main attraction of our tour was Joris our tour guide. He was SO gracious and so wonderful and attentive to all of our needs. Our tour was during a 40C/100F heat wave, and Joris kept stopping and spraying cool mist water on people’s necks, faces, and arms. Then during the educational section he actually sang us a full song about Marie Antoinette. We didn’t know the tour included a concert in French. AMAZING!! Joris, you are a triumph and a gift to everyone you encounter. We had some time at the end of the tour to walk through the palace. But we far enjoyed the riding through the countryside, picking out delicious food and wine in the local market, and interacting with Joris and the rest of the group all day.
Irving is the best guide

5.00Irving is the best guide you will get on this tour! He seriously had all the information and was so kind to every single family on the tour and made us all feel extremely welcome. We were here during the heat wave so it was extremely hot and he made sure we had shade everywhere we went. My mom is 60 years old and hasn’t road a bike in a long time, but he made sure we all stayed as a group and cruised slowly so she would feel comfortable. Irving you are a blessing and amazing person! Thanks for a wonderful day! I will say we traveled 7 miles and walked 4 miles so prepare for a workout!
Great tour with excellent tour guide, Irving.

5.00Michel was our guide…he was absolutely awesome!!! His delivery of French history was fluent and entertaining!! He engaged all members of the group, young and older. Our tour was brilliant, largely due to our guide 🇦🇺
Great tour, great guiding with Eleanor

4.00This was a fun excursion, knowledgeably and entertainingly led by Eleanor. She was wonderful. Not her fault, of course, that we did this during horrific heat wave that necessitated skipping biking around the gardens and fountains, one of the things I was most looking forward to. She was really great though in making it all work given the circumstances.
Versailles bikes and market

5.00Joris was a phenomenal guide. He made me to her with his passion and behind the scenes knowledge of the life and times of Versailles. Having a local person with behind the scene knowledge and passion made this experience very worthwhile. I want to work with couples and we had a wonderful experience.
