Traveler reviews
Great tour of entire grounds
We loved it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and relatable. You get a thorough tour of the grounds and end up at the castle. Make sure you can bike in the weather (our day was hot) for an extended period of time. You end up at the main palace about 3:15 and finish on your own- by then we were spent so we enjoyed strolling through but skipped the audio guides. This was our 4th tour with this company (London, NYC and Washington DC) and it was great.
Unique and lovely way to see Versailles!
Annie was great! Nice spin on historical info making the facts fun. Wish we’d known how much walking, that would be helpful. Great to see parts of Versailles we’ve never seen before!
OJ - the Perfect Guide
We had a fantastic guide, OJ, for our Versailles Full Day Bike Tour. He was fun, attentive, had great tips, and was extremely knowledgeable. His knowledge and personality really made the trip special.
