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

The best day!

We spent 4 days in Paris and this was by far our favorite day! Our tour guide Nick was a real story teller, we learned so much from him! He has an amazing personality and we feel so lucky to have spent the day with him. The tour was small…only 11 of us. The bikes were great quality and the grounds were spectacular! We enjoyed the bike tour more than actually going inside Versailles. Do not hesitate to book this tour with Nick :)

A great experience!

Our guide, Nick was fantastic! A great experience; we learned a about the palace and the grounds, loved shopping for our picnic, and Nick was a great story teller. I would recommend having a water bottle with you, there are a few stops where you can refill it.

Wonderful bike ride, crowded Palace

The morning was so delightful and one of the highlights of our Paris vacation. I wish I could have ended on a high note, but the afternoon was pretty miserable. The tour ends with the guide leaving you at the entrance to the Palace which by that time of day was not only extremely crowded but hot. I had asked several times about the fountains (and specifically chose the Saturday tour to make sure we saw them running, but they were off all day. I understand the tour doesn’t control that but it was disappointing. The bike ride, picnic, and our guide Eric were all wonderful.
