5.00Renaud was our guide and he was fantastic. He kept track of all of our group of 14 and made sure we were all clear on our instructions. He also gave nice little history lessons along our ride about our stops. The market was a highlight and we had a super delicious picnic along the Grand Canal. If you’re from the States, the produce you get is just more fresh than what we usually get at home. Requires moderate fitness level for sure and the ability to ride a bicycle in urban settings and on cobblestone and forest paths. We had a wonderful time and recommend it to anyone who wants to experience an active way to explore Versailles and the more rural/countryside views from Paris.
A guided tour -- covering a lot of ground!

5.00This was a unique guided tour, starting from western Paris and joining bike commuters in the morning as we made our way out of town, through parks, and up into the hills. Expect limited (but well-considered) tour-guide-talk, and lots of biking as this tour takes advantage of the range of e-bikes to take indirect paths that let you see the areas where many mansions and palaces once stood, and then all around the parks and grounds of Versailles. If you know the good feeling you get having covered a lot of ground on a bike, and appreciate really being able experience in the way Versailles is situated away from the city experientially (which sets you up nicely to understand the troubles the disconnected monarchs got themselves into with the Revolution), this is a special tour worth considering. The only possible disappointment if you're not expecting is is that this biking-first, talking-light. Don't expect long and highly informative verbal essays on history, culture and architecture. This is about being there and experiencing the area on a bike, with sufficient but not extensive narration.

5.00This was a great way to see some of Paris and countryside on the way to Versailles. And we had lots of time to explore Versailles as well. Renoir, our guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly throughout!

5.00Great tour! I went with both of my parents on this tour. We were all very exhausted after, as it is a long day, and needed a sitting break at a cafe before we went into the palace on our own. The e-bikes were easy to use, and the trails we went on were nice. Be prepared for some bumpy cobblestone though. The stop at the market was lovely, and the picnic outside Versailles was great. We loved this tour, but come well rested and ready to bike a long distance. We weren’t sore from the ride itself, as the pedal-assist was very nice, but it is still a tiring day. Would recommend this tour over a regular bike tour in Versailles, I think we got to see a lot of the beautiful countryside along the way that we would have missed otherwise!
