Traveler reviews
Lovely ride and lesson of history through the Versailles Gardens
All day bike ride through the Versailles Gardens with tour of the three museums on site. Lovely beginning to the day with a stop at a market to purchase lunch. Our guide gave us excellent suggestions. The patisserie was unlike any I have seen before. The guide stopped often enough to easily pace the ride, giving insights and history of the gardens. We had intermittent rain, but were able to duck under cover when needed. The museum at the end was a lot though. I can't imagine what the tour would be like if it was twice as crowded! It was a bit overstimulating for me. I much preferred the biking of the gardens!
Singing In The Rain.
Nick our guide was wonderfully informed and hilarious. All those gorgeous and gruesome details are exactly what I am looking for in such tours - that is the things I don't read in books. I really appreciated his frank point of view. Even though the weather made cycling impossible, it did not matter thanks to the helpful, friendly and informed staff.

Our tour guide was excellent. Loved being outside and seeing the grounds. Really a fantastic place. Dress for the weather! It was chilly and drizzling at the end of October.

Jean-Francois was a great guide! The tour was informative and fun. Starting at the market and enjoying the grounds was a highlight, and without the crowds to really enjoy some time in Versailles prior to visiting the Palace.
Perfect Palace Tour
Easy bike ride through beautiful grounds and visit to various house on the property. Eric was our guide who gave us suggestions on the market for our picnic lunch and guided us through the gardens. Lunch on the palace grounds was beautiful. Easy train ride to and from Paris
