Great day and good companions and a delightful guide made this a brilliant day and highly recommended. If it had been raining would not have been as enjoyable so probably should pack a "poncho".

This was absolutely the best outing! Our tour guide was so fun, well-informed and able to keep our group moving while enjoying riding the streets of Paris, the train to Versailles and touring the town of Versailles as well as the grounds or the palace. He was so well-traveled and able to relate to the all the different participants of the tour. I have and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in an active outing. The picnic on the Grand Canal and riding through the woods of the palace grounds was priceless. I just wish we would have had time to take the Paris tour at night. The company was professional, organized and very easy to deal with. My son and I will always remember our trip to Paris and the highlight of the Versailles bike tour.

If you are into biking, this is the only way to see Versailles properly. wonderful guide, great scheduling, and beautiful setting, like something out of a movie. Out of my entire one-month travels, this was one of my favourite days.

This is a wonderful way to go to Versailles! One could never enjoy the grounds in one day by walking. We had our picnic with goods bought personally in a shop area before getting to the grounds. We ate at the far end of the canal. Because there was a problem with the train, we had to bike a bit further which I loved because I got to see more of France. The tour guide handled the unexpected difficulties with grace and was a good teacher of history.

A wonderful day - very relaxing and a great way to see the gardens and palace of Versailles. Our guide was very informative and great fun. No helmets though!

Beautiful scenes and nice guide! I'm so much satisfied. A trip by cycling is a good idea, specially to Versailles.

Our day trip to Versailles was amazing, made especially so by our tour guide, who made it come alive to us with her knowledge of French history. It was so much fun and very well planned. We also very much enjoyed the company of the support guy; he was very helpful to us, especially getting the bikes on and off the train. What an adventure. Thanks again.

Our guide was so much fun and shared so much knowledge about French history. The trip to the markets to buy fresh food for a picnic is such a good idea. Seeing the Versailles gardens on bike was the highlight of my trip to Paris.

What a great way to see Versailles and its park. A bit scary riding through the streets of Paris in rush hour traffic, but being a large group it was "safety in numbers". Definitely worth doing.

I'm fat and I know it, but this tour was great. I handled the bike ride with no problem. You see Versailles from all perspectives. The day starts with a train ride, a shopping trip to a fantastic market and then a picnic where Marie Antoinette picnicked. After biking the grounds and gardens, you see the palace, and before you know it you're back where you started wishing it didn't end so soon. A really great day out in Versailles.

What a FUN day! Our tour guide was GREAT! This was one of our best days we spent in Paris. I highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to see the ground of Versailles, get exercise, and have a lot of FUN!

This was the best way to experience Versailles. The ride to Versailles and around the grounds was far better than the palace itself, which was lovely but busy. Our guide was really helpful and told us things about what we were seeing along the way but did it in a really relaxed manner.

This was an incredible way to see places most people only view. My wife and I loved it so much we went on the night ride the very same day. We also believe this day was the best of the three weeks we visited Europe.

Completely loved this tour. At first a little worried about bringing the bikes on the train, but the tour leader and his crew were extremely helpful. He was the best guide. He brought us to the Versailles market and told us where to get our supplies for our picnic. I highly recommend this to anyone. It was a great way to spend a day outside of the city. Versailles is magical.

It was a great trip, and the guide was most insightful. He went above and beyond, switching out his good bike for a bad bike that another customer had. He was unable to repair the bike so ended up running the bike back while the rest of us rode beside him. He even had to endure ridicule from a 4 year old. Tough job!!! He pulled it off like a real pro.
