Highlight of our visit to Versailles
This tour was a highlight of our visit to Paris and so glad we took the train to Versailles. Our guide, Andrea, was funny, informative and kept us safe and moving through the fascinating village and hamlet. Seeing the village, gardens and surrounding areas of Versailles would have been impossible if not on bike and we are so glad we chose this way to see it. We had enough time a the end of the bike tour to walk through Versailles. Andrea walked us to front of line, so very little waiting which was welcome in the heat. We thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!
Perfect Day to Bike
Fun time! Great guide JF. Good with people. Saw all i expected to see. That's all I have to write for now.
Perfect bike tour around Palace of Versailles
The 4 hr bike tour around Versailles gardens and concluding at the palace itself was wonderful! Annie was our guide and she was so entertaining and knowledgeable - biking was easy and she made sure to stop in all the shady spots for the historical context, as it was a very hot day. At the end of the biking portion, she gave us options for viewing Versailles itself, depending on how long we wanted to explore the palace. All in all, c’est magnifique!
Jen is amazing
Great Tour!! You have to do the Marie Antionette hamlet it’s surreal. Our guide Jen was fantastic, she peppered the tour with just the right amount of historic fact, and gossip (some a bit gruesome, but those were the times). I can’t recommend this Fat Tire Tours enough and if you get a chance to go with Jen, all the better.
OJ the entertainer
Our cycle tour through the gardens of Palace of Versailles was one of the highlights of our trip to France. OJ was a knowledgeable, engaging, and entertaining guide who brought the history of Versailles to life. His stories about Louis XIV, his extravagant tastes, and his desire to create a palace unlike any other were fascinating and kept everyone in the group interested and entertained. We loved his humour. The bikes were excellent—comfortable seats, smooth gears, and perfect for exploring the extensive gardens and grounds. Cycling through the beautiful surroundings was such an enjoyable way to experience Versailles. The tour also included entry into the Palace of Versailles itself, and stepping inside was simply incredible. The sheer opulence is a sensory overload in the best possible way. Every room seemed more magnificent than the last. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Versailles. It was the perfect combination of history, beautiful scenery, and fun, made even better by OJ's enthusiasm and storytelling. An unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
