Traveler reviews
A highlight for our family
My kids and I really enjoyed this. Our guide, Kayla, really connected with them. Biking really broke up the typical sightseeing experience. It was a highlight of our trip!
Great day!
Great way to see nearly all of Versailles in a day. Biking around the grounds is a real treat and the tour was expertly led by Anie. It's a long day, so pack snacks for children and be sure to purchase a substantive lunch for the mid-day picnic.
20/10! Amazing day!
First off, this was very expensive for our family even with the deal. That being said…….Wonderful day trip to see so much of the property at Versailles Palace. We loved our tour guide, Bart! He was so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable about French history and culture pertinent to the palace. So huge shout out to BART! Such an incredible way to see the extravagant lifestyle and history of these kings. The biking wasn’t too strenuous as we would get off periodically and walk around. Plus we went to a market first thing and purchased picnic items (brioche literally melts in your mouth!) and midway through our bike tour he spread our a tarp where we all ate our picnic by the canal. Magical and lovely day I will relive over and over as one of my favorite memories!
Not worth the time or expense
It was, unfortunately, not a terribly informative tour, and the guide was borderline rude and disrespectful. He would tell us long stories, peppered with stale jokes, then said we needed to hurry, because we were running late. Riding the bike did make traversing the grounds much easier, but I'd recommend you simply rent one on your own and download a self-guided tour on your phone. You'll get just as much out of the experience, for for less money.
Good luck finding the place
Very poor communication about starting point. Would recommend booking directly with Fat Bike Tours and ask for JP
