Versailles Domain Bike Tour with Palace Entry by Train from Paris
Overview
Available languages
8 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Our bike tours were one of the first to hit the Paris bike scene nearly 2 decades ago, and we like to keep that feeling of community on tour. For this reason, and unlike other bike tours of Versailles, we limit our group sizes. We also warmly welcome you at our very own café, and our guide rides the train to Versailles with you- so you’re taken care of the whole way. Join our family for a day, and experience our version of Versailles!
We’ve planned an unforgettable day trip from Paris, cruising through the town of Versailles for the amazing local market, heading into Versailles’ grounds & gardens, Marie Antoinette’s village, and the Trianons. After the picnic, we make our way to the Chateau. You’ll then explore the palace at your own pace.
Our tour makes history accessible. It’s about getting the juicy important details of Versailles plus the fun stories and quirky anecdotes. It’s simply about an unforgettable day in the countryside, tickets included

5.00This was a most excellent tour, as my other experiences with this company have been! Always FIVE STARS and best of show and best of class! Hats off to Bike About and our "tour guide," Marley! Marley was just wonderful! So knowledgeable about all the relevant history and related it in such a well composed and (OK - It was GOOD) dramatic way! She was so good at attending to all our needs and brought the tour to life! We had a small group and the others in the tour were great people, too! We highly recommend this company and Marley in particular, too! If possible, would give a TEN stars out of FIVE. Will be back again!! Love you guys!! Book with this firm for anything!! They are the best around!!
Not exactly a bike tour

3.00Not exactly a bike tour. It was more a walking tour with a minor biking portion. Ended up walking over 10km with biking an additional 5km. By the time we walked through the train and metro stations to get the train, then walk to the bike storage in Versailles , we were staring to get tired. We had understood the visit through the gardens was on bike but it wasn't. It was a walking tour of the gardens. All that to say by the time we returned to Chateau Versailles at 3:30, We were too tired to walk through the chateau. Guide Jude was great though.

5.00We had such a great time on our Versailles bike tour with Marley! She was knowledgeable, patient, super funny and accommodating, and made us feel really safe biking through a bustling town. You can really see her passion and love for the history there, especially for Marie Antoinette’s story - it made the history feel so alive and memorable! She really made our day awesome - Highly recommend!!
Some good, some less than good.

4.00It was a mixed experience. First, the weather was perfect. My impressions of the tour were that it was curiously both hyper-organized and chaotic. Chaotic at the coffee shop and overly scheduled on the ride. We rode on less than ideal surfaces, had less than outstanding bicycles (I had no 2nd gear on a 3-speed, e.g.), heard some entertaining, if embellished, stories about the then prevailing French society, rode to the next story point, rinse, and repeat. Then having toured the grounds, which were beautiful, arrived at the Château, just in time to rush through. It was, by contrast, a disappointment. Indeed, I felt rushed the entire day. Would I do it again? Maybe. A map and reading list ahead of time would have been helpful. A chance to linger would have been nice. Was it fun? Yes, by and large.
Totally worth the price of Versailles Tour

5.00Highly recommend, this trip was awesome. We saw the main sites, biked around the town, experienced the local farmers market and experienced the local culture. Most importantly, our host Marley made the trip 5 star. She was fun, friendly, endlessly knowledgeable and personalized every story. Our group including everything from 10 year olds to grandparents and Marley had us all engraved. All that was missing were forks and napkins… maybe next time.

5.00What a fabulous experience! Marley made the Versailles bike tour feel like a stroll through history with a trusted friend—her lively spirit and in-depth storytelling transformed every garden path, every peek at Marie-Antoinette’s hamlet, and even the Grand Canal picnic into a vivid, unforgettable journey. Her energy and knowledge breathed life into the past in a way few guides can.
Marley rocks!
