A relaxing outdoor experience around Versailles with fellow tourists - If you're into a more engaged experience with a lot of movement and a calm wind in your face, get a bike tour. Our tour guide was kind and generous about the directions we wanted to go in, but ultimately we kept to a specific path that led us to some fascinating locations around the famous palace. This is NOT a tour if you want to see the palace interior or gardens, however. I also would not recommend doing both this bike tour or an inside palace tour because you'll get a lot of the same information and twice the fatigue. For my personal needs, a bike tour is the best kind of engagement.

Two hour tour with kids - Great two hour ride around the grounds with Alex. Very welcoming guide, trip had a nice cadence that was enjoyable for our whole family. Family included eight year old, twelve year old, and fourteen year old children. Biking was pretty easy, even for the short section through town.

Great, relaxed bike tour with informative guide. - Great, relaxed bike tour with Alex, cruising around the Versailles estate and finding out about the history en route. It was a lovely way to spend the first part of the afternoon, before then heading into the palace itself.

Beauty on a bike - This is so fun! You get to see the entire property on the comfort of a beach cruiser bike. Shaded trails and beauty everywhere you go. I clocked the trip at 7.5 mi from the bike shop round trip. Trails are mostly flat. Alex was a gem, had tons of interesting information, and just takes pride in what he does. 10/10 would recommend.

Versailles Biking - The Versailles bike trip was one of the highlights of our visit to France. Starting with a quick train ride from Paris, we explored the vast palace gardens by bike Stopping at the local market for picnic supplies added to the fun, enjoying the lunch on palace grounds was also a treat. Our guide (Alex) was knowledgeable and made the history come alive without it ever feeling like a lecture. Riding through the gardens, visiting the Trianons, and finally touring the palace made for a perfect mix of activity and culture. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Versailles beyond the usual tourist path! You should give it a try.

MUST DO THIS ONE/and Bike Company - This 3 hour E-Bike Tour with Holland Bikes was absolutely fantastic! "Alex" was a fabulous and intellectual French history buff that made it so enjoyable. The bikes were great and easy to ride. Gorgeous gardens and grounds that we biked along. This is a MUST DO with this company.

Historic and healthy - It’s a great way to learn about Versailles and Louis XIV. You really appreciate the size of the estate when you cycle around it. The guide, Alex, was very friendly and knowledgeable. My only regret was I would have liked to have seen more of the gardens
