Wonderful in all aspects - The tour was well organized from beginning (meeting point) to end. Our guide, Marley, was personable, fun and knowledgeable. She ensured participants were safe and had a good time. The sites were spectacular. We very much enjoyed our visit to the town of Versailles.

Relax - all logistics handled so you can simply enjoy this delightful experience - Our favorite thing we did! Marley our guide was American so she understood exactly what we wanted to know about where we were going, what to do, very friendly and clear so we just relax and enjoy the experience. The farmers market was gorgeous with helpful vendors and extraordinary picnic options. What a leisurely biking experience - the gardens were magical - the on our own tour through the palace was crowded and the least favorite part of the day was- so it this way - way too far to see on foot and bikes were fun!

Exceeded expectations - Our group of 12 had a really great time with guide Marlie. She was a delight and made our trip such fun despite the bit of drizzle. We learned so much from her relatable stories and were happy to get some book recommendations as well. We highly enjoyed this day trip.

Best Day Trip to Versailles - We had visited Versailles 20 years ago and really only saw the palace. This bike trip with Marley as our guide was so much more informative and enjoyable. We rode parts of the grounds that we knew nothing about, visited the food market, and had a lovely picnic alone the park's waterway. We couldn't have asked for a better guide - Marley was wonderful!

This is how you visit Versailles⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - ⭐️10/10 Recommend⭐️ Add this to your itinerary! Incredible value! With Bike About Tours, our day-trip to Versailles was SEAMLESS and the experience truly one-of-a-kind. Cafe Peleton, the morning meeting spot, is in the city center - Very easy to navigate to. Christian, Marley and the baristas were warm, welcoming and made us feel very taken care of. The train ride to Versailles and the collection of our bikes could not have been easier. We were given plenty of time to explore the farmer’s market and Marley, our fabulous guide, made sure we had all the French picnic staples on our shopping list. Speaking of Marley, she made our tour of the grounds pitch perfect. It’s clear she’s attune to the the needs of each specific group, always asking our preference as we go (Where would you rather sit for lunch, etc.) She was proactive to create water/restroom breaks. She made sure to leave room for questions. Her love for France and it’s history shone through every moment of the tour, and her infectious sense of fun made the day that much more memorable. We ❤️ Marley. Our day to Versailles with Bike About Tours was a highlight of our Paris vacation and worth every cent. Highly, highly recommend.

The Best of the Best (AGAIN!!) by Bike About Tours!!! Rock on and Have FUN!! - This was a most excellent tour, as my other experiences with this company have been! Always FIVE STARS and best of show and best of class! Hats off to Bike About and our "tour guide," Marley! Marley was just wonderful! So knowledgeable about all the relevant history and related it in such a well composed and (OK - It was GOOD) dramatic way! She was so good at attending to all our needs and brought the tour to life! We had a small group and the others in the tour were great people, too! We highly recommend this company and Marley in particular, too! If possible, would give a TEN stars out of FIVE. Will be back again!! Love you guys!! Book with this firm for anything!! They are the best around!!

Not exactly a bike tour - Not exactly a bike tour. It was more a walking tour with a minor biking portion. Ended up walking over 10km with biking an additional 5km. By the time we walked through the train and metro stations to get the train, then walk to the bike storage in Versailles , we were staring to get tired. We had understood the visit through the gardens was on bike but it wasn't. It was a walking tour of the gardens. All that to say by the time we returned to Chateau Versailles at 3:30, We were too tired to walk through the chateau. Guide Jude was great though.
