Awesome bike tour

Our bike tour of Versailles was one of the highlights of our trip to France, and Bart made the experience truly exceptional. From the very beginning, he was friendly, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. What stood out most was how well he tailored his commentary and information to our group’s interests and needs, making the tour feel personal rather than scripted. Even though the day got off to a challenging start with rainy weather, Bart’s positive attitude never wavered. His enthusiasm and good humor kept everyone’s spirits high and turned what could have been a frustrating morning into part of the adventure. The picnic lunch was absolutely fantastic—easily one of our favorite meals during our entire time in Paris. The selection of fresh local foods that we picked from the market and the beautiful setting made it a memorable experience in itself. Bart’s expertise, flexibility, and upbeat personality made the day both informative and fun. We left with a much deeper appreciation for Versailles and some wonderful memories. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

We had a fantastic day at...

We had a fantastic day at Versailles. After initially going to the wrong meeting spot, we finally located our guide and the rest of the day went smoothly. Bart was knowledgable and relaxed with the group, happy to talk with us about the history of the place. His food and wine recommendations were great too. The riding was easy, and we covered much of the park. Highlights were probably the walk through the gardens a Petit Trianon to see Hameau de la Reine. The tour of the private King's Apartments was also great, with a knowledgeable guide providing great information (via an earpiece, so you could hear clearly). There was then plenty of time to wander the rest of the palace (don't skip the chapel - it's fabulous) and the gardens if you want. I would recommend anyone wanting to have a full Versailles experience to do this tour.

Great way to see Versailles!

Annie was so kind and fun. Really made the day go smoothly. It was a lot of fun and a great way to see a lot of Versailles. We did the e-bike upgrade which made it very easy and comfortable.

There’s no better way to see Versailles!

This was a fantastic way to see the gardens of Versailles, the King’s private apartment and enjoy a full day in Versailles. Nick & Rory were our guides and they were so much fun! Both were full of history and stories, and they made the entire experience very easy and entertaining. We got e-bikes because we weren’t sure of the terrain or how tired we’d be from traveling. We didn’t regret getting them but we would have been fine on a traditional bike because it was mostly flat and we didn’t go far between stops. This will definitely be one of the highlights of our week in Paris. We’d do it again tomorrow if we could! (We had all adults on our tour but our teen kids would have had a blast too if they’d been with us.) Lastly, the private tour at the palace was way better than a regular trip through the palace. Once our private tour was over, we could stay as long as we wanted. It was SO crowded and nearly impossible to enjoy the rooms. I’m so thankful we didn’t just do the regular tour of Versailles- I think We would have left frustrated. Instead, we had a wonderful day.

Discount coupon

I haven't made the trip yet but my surprise is when you start shopping with discount coupon of their page they come out much higher prices checked using two devices at once. They offer you a 15% discount and it comes out 10 percent or more than if you don't apply coupon is misleading advertising
