Take a tour of Versailles with a difference - by bicycle! It's the only way to see Versailles' expansive gardens plus you'll get to see highlights of Versailles that most visitors miss, including Marie Antoinette's country-style Hameau, the Petit Trianon and the Grand Trianon. You'll also enjoy a picnic by the Grand Canal then take a tour of the Palace of Versailles. Versailles is located just 16 kilometers/12 miles from Paris, so we’ll meet near a metro station within Paris before beginning our journey. From there, we’ll take the suburban rail (about 30 minutes) and then pick up our bikes just across from the train station.

Our guide Toby ensured we had a wonderful time and always placed safety and our comfort as a priority. He was knowledgeable and pointed out little known facts about the grounds and residents. We enjoyed seeing hidden areas of the gardens and enjoyed a waterside picnic. There was adequate time for seeing the amazing palace. We would highly recommend this tour!

Great bike ride, no need to be in great shape. No hills, much better than walking. Highly recommend!

Our guide was personable, fun and really knew the history. Our tour had a few hiccups (people late for the tour, broken bikes) so we were a bit rushed at times. We enjoyed the relaxing pace of the bike ride and picnic lunch more than the palace, as it was packed with visitors. We gave 4 stars due to broken bikes that took some of our time but overall it was a great experience!
