5.00This was a fun day despite the weather being cold and rainy - Micheal was our guide and he was thoughtful, fun and informative. It was a great way to see Versailles and explore the grounds.
A Versailles experience to equal the palace!

5.00Joris our guide was a star! From the first meeting point to the end he was the perfect host, making the whole day informative, and entertaining. The pace was comfortable for all abilities, plenty of time given at each stop, the cycles well suited for sightseeing. The food market stop to buy lunch was a great experience, making the picnic stop very special. Joris knowledge and entertaining presentation was brilliant, he obviously loves his job and meeting his ‘family’ every day! The tour takes you to parts of Versailles grounds that not many see, and gives a much greater appreciation of the estate than just visiting the house and garden alone. All highly recommended!
very pleasant day on bikes

5.00This was an exceptional tour with Arno a/k/a Arnold. IMO riding bikes on the grounds of Versailles is the most enjoyable way to experience it. The palace after the end of the tour was not enjoyable because of the crazy amount of people.
Good tour but improvements needed

4.00Our guide, Antoine, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Overall itinerary was well done but there are a few improvements needed for this to be 5 stars - 1) check in was confusing, no one had a blue shirt or hat saying “Blue Fox” so lots of people were standing around the meeting place with no idea what was going on, 2) website says 14 max people per group yet we had 17 or 18 on our tour, 3) another guide or support staff needed. One person on the trip couldn’t finish the biking. Antoine handled the situation well, but it was a lengthy delay for the rest of us that cut our time short in the Palace. If another support person had been available they could’ve managed the situation and allowed everyone else to get on with the tour.
Great way to see Versailles

4.00We covered a lot of territory, but would recommend that they have a sweeper in the back for people who are slower on the bike.

5.00It was a great tour- our tour guide was excellent- very friendly and personable. He made our tour fun and interesting for 10 people- ages 9-79. Everything worked on schedule and we had a wonderful time. The only downside was the weather- overcast, cold, and rainy. However, we persevered with the raincoats that were furnished by Blue Fox. Would definitely recommend this tour and would do it again if we returned to Paris.
Loved my blue bike

Bikes, Picnic and sights

5.00Beautiful gardens and sights! I wasn't sure that I would make it through the bike ride but we did it! What a great way to see more sights! Loved our guide Arnold and all the history and information given! The map to find our way back was very helpful. The picnic and shopping for our lunch with the tips from our guide made this a true experience for us to remember! Thank you Arnold for the tour, would definitely try to do it again!
One of my favorite trip experiences ever.

5.00This bike day is one of my top favorite trip experiences ever. It was just a great day from start to finish. There’s no way we would have seen so much of the grounds of Versailles without this tour. Arnaud was an excellent guide - explained the history in a fun and engaging way, paused often while biking to make sure the group was still together, and was just a genuinely nice person. He also takes great pictures. Shopping at the market for our picnic supplies and picnic on the grounds is something I’ll never forget. Loved exploring Marie Antoinette’s hamlet. Yes, we were exhausted by the time we got to the palace, but I didn’t care. I saw and enjoyed the key rooms there that I wanted to. It was nice to spend most of the day free of crowds, and it’s nice that you can spend as long as you’d like at the palace. Don’t hesitate to book this tour.
