5.00We had an amazing time even on a cloudy day with light rain. Our guide Lena was really fantastic! Her energy was great and her knowledge of the area helped us focus and prioritize the most compelling parts of the tour. She clearly has great relationships with the market vendors, and also helped us navigate a train problem that we couldn't have done on our own. Oh, and she guided us away from known scammers. The bikes were great, comfortable single speeds with fully covered chains. And they provided bicycling rain ponchos and saddlebags. Without the tour, we would've gotten lost on the train trip there, had no bikes or probably crappy bikes, missed the market completely (or paid 15 euros for a small bag of fruit), and spent too much time looking at the less interesting things. This tour was a win, and a great value. Thanks Lena and Blue Fox Travel!

4.00Antoine was a very informative guide and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a rainy day, but it was still a really fun day. Our guide had to be flexible because when we arrived at the train station, it turned out it wasn’t running that day- but we pivoted and he got us there! It was fun to shop for our lunch before getting on our bikes to head out. It was a long day, so we were all tired by the time we got to the last gardens- so I recommend not making any plans for after the tour. I had to cut my time in the gardens short to try and get back for another tour in Paris. The guide does not go into the various palaces and at times, it would have been nice to have him in there- but I’m sure it says that somewhere in the description and I didn’t read it.
