Versailles Full Day Bike Tour with Palace, Gardens, & Picnic
Overview
Available languages
7 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
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.
You can walk through the breathtaking Hall of Mirrors, where King Louis greeted guests, and centuries later the Treaty of Versailles was signed to end World War I. When you ride with us, you will explore exponentially more of the 2,000+ acres of royal property than you would ever be able to see on your own.

Must do! Our favorite thing about Paris

5.00Today was the most fun & beautiful experience. Our guide was fantastic. He took great care & advised us on everything. I particularly loved the market & seeing all the beauty of Versailles outside. Honestly, the inside was just ok...nothing compared to exploring the grounds on bikes, strolling thru each detail that most miss, abd having a picnic by the reflection pond. Truly feel like we experienced the true French culture
Fun day in Versailles

5.00We loved our Versailles bike tour with Jen! It was such a fun and interesting day. She was so knowledgeable and we felt so comfortable with her as our guide. The bikes were a great way to cover a lot of ground and the stop for picnic was a unique and charming change of pace. Thanks Jen for a very memorable day!

4.00Great way to see all aspects of Versailles. Definitely a full day trip. We traveled with family/teenagers. Loved first half of day biking around gardens and local shopping/picnic. Weather was incredible in Oct. went on Sunday, it was very crowded. Second half post lunch was a bit long and we didn’t wrap up at castle until 5:30p. Maybe suggest giving patrons the option to cut down on amt of time at Hamlet/Kings And Queens separate houses in lieu of getting to Castle sooner to have more time to explore. Otherwise, our guide Jessie did a great job! Would recommend for those who have never been to Versailles as a way to see it all! .
No better way to see Versailles!

5.00A great day out at Versailles! Four of us just made it to the train station on time (who knew a marathon would block most roads that morning!). Our guide Jenn was super fun and guided us on a remarkable tour around the grounds, stopping along the way for historical summaries and really making this trip so enjoyable. I can't imagine a better way around the grounds then this! And, we also very much enjoyed the camaraderie with our fellow bicycle companions and the friendly conversations at every stop. Truly a peaceful and enjoyable day!

2.00The setting and the market stop were wonderful, but overall the tour was poorly managed and stressful. Our group had around 20 people, which was simply too large for one guide to handle safely or effectively. Those of us in the back could rarely hear any of the commentary, and communication during stops was chaotic. One group in particular dominated the guide’s attention, which created an unfair and uncomfortable dynamic for the rest of us. They were allowed to ride aggressively, cut others off, and even force their way to the front without any correction. At one point, the guide gave directions only to that group, causing the rest of us to get lost and fall about 30 minutes behind schedule. While the visit to the market was a highlight and the scenery around Versailles is beautiful, the oversized group and lack of structure made what should have been an enjoyable experience feel disorganized and frustrating.
WAY worth it. Just do it only way to see it

5.00Erik was our tour guild he ROCKED. Very knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, and funny. The bike tour of the property was WAY worth it and better in my opinion than the castle itself. The market is fabulous. Erik gave LOTS of good info to take or leave and really good food recommendations. The picnic lunch was outstanding. Just trust me book this tour!!!! Super fun day
