This was a great way to see Versailles. The guide was fantastic and because we rode bikes we got to see so much more. Learning about the history was really interesting.

The bikes actually felt like a bit inconvenient. For the tour to be excellent, I would expect the guide to be accompanying for more activities and explaining things, giving insights.
So much fun on bikes in Versailles!

We loved our Versailles bike tour with Arnaud. It was a great combination of adventure and education, in a fun way. We got to see so much more of the grounds than we would have by walking. Arnaud kept it interesting and really knows his way around town. It was fun popping into the markets prior to getting our bikes, too. Once the bike tour ended we went off on our own inside the palace. The Hall of Mirrors is breathtaking. Highly recommend. By the way, we accidentally had the wrong meet-up time in our minds, and luckily someone at the office picked up our call and helped direct us there (by uber) to meet the group in Versailles in time. Thank you to the kind staff!
Great for a family with tweens and teens!

Our guide, Arnaud was the highlight of this day. We did this tour in the off season and ended up with a very cold damp day. My kids still enjoyed it and said the learning about the history was their favorite part! I would highly recommend this tour for kids and teens.
Arnault was knowledgeable and engaging!

Versailles is huge and riding a bicycle from the Palace to the gardens to the Trianon to the Petit Trianon was the way to go! My teenage sons and husband and I got a great lesson in French history from our guide who gave us some fun and spicy insights into the Palace and royals who lived there.
Great. Highly recommend.

The pros: Great tour guide, so fun to go to the market first and then have a lovely picnic, small group so we could stay together on the bikes, the grounds are just gorgeous, the tour guide provided interesting information in a fun and educational way. The cons: By the time the biking was over, we were too tired to go into the palace (there was a long line, too), its a long bike ride so you need to be in good shape (I struggled since I hadn't been on a bike in many years), the tour should provide utensils, plates, and sanitary wipes for the picnic.
Highly recommend this bike tour!
