This is an amazing day journey if you would like a beautiful ride through the green spaces and charm between Paris and Versailles. The tour operator takes a creative route that you could never figure out in your own. We are very glad we went. The weakness of the tour was that our guide was quiet and offered little information along the way, and you tour Versailles on your own. Other bike tours that offer less cycling (take the train to Versailles and then get on your bike) appeared to offer more of an information tour. Also, an older woman on our ride fell twice and got many bloody contusions. (It’s not a dangerous ride, but there are cobble stones and various terrain issues that make it so that you should be comfortable and competent on an e-bike.) Our guide had a modest first aid kit, but offered no care or leadership. I stepped in to bandage the woman and take care of her. Also, no water is provided, so be sure to bring your own. Overall, I would say that it’s a great experience to be able to take this ride and I recommend it. You will see beautiful green space and charm that no other tourist sees, it’s just that there were aspects that could have been better.

The full day e bike cycling trip to Versailles was wonderful. The guide Nicolas was nice, friendly and informative and made the long trip quite enjoyable. The crowds at the palace were unbelievable. Thankfully the cycling along the countryside, villages , forest and suburbs of Paris made the trip very special. I feel this is a must do trip if you are fond of cycling and enjoy the outdoors !!

On the bike it was stunning to see the contrast between the parkland nature, the relaxed and modern outer Parisian suburbs and the ornate historical Versailles. The palace itself was breathtaking, and visits around the grounds enriched the whole experience. Renaud’s enthusiasm and organisation were relaxing, the bikes were super simple to use and we got plenty of time on our own to explore at each stop. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this tour – a fun, good value and entertaining day.

Cycling through the forest was incredible! Unfortunately to get there one of the cyclists had an accident which delayed us over an hr, and the guide was amazing in looking after her while the rest of the group waited, which was ok. He was quick in response and refiguring the end of the day, which we all had to take the train back to the bike shop. I liked how he was already making some decisions about how to assess potential riders abilities in advance of ride day, as this girl was a very inexperienced in cycling

Hi, thank you to take time to write a review.
I remembered very well that day. The girl who fell didn't know how to brake on a bike. She was very lucky because the first little downhill was on a park. And she fell in the brush.
If she had make a Paris bike tour inside the city, it could be much more dangerous with cars.
She was not injured. Good bless.
Your review is an occasion to say anybody : don't do a bike tour if you don't know how to brake or if you have balance issue on a bike.

If you have teens, definitely do this. Our guide was excellent. Our Paris to Versailles tour was scheduled on a day that rain was trying mess up our plans, but our guide watched the weather closely- he rearranged our schedule enough that we managed to be inside the Palace or at the local market each time it rained. It is a short visit to the palace and gardens, but a longer visit would not have been truly appreciated by my 3 teen boys. This was exactly what we needed to experience Versailles and not have “bored” teenagers. I’m already planning to do the other tour of Paris next time we go. Great experience- and none of us are e-bike owners (or even regular bike people)- we have been on e-bikes one other time, but these bikes were easy to use and made the trip to Versailles easy.

I booked this tour with my 12 year old daughter on the recommendation from a friend. We had an amazing time and it was the highlight of our trip to Paris! I was a little nervous about riding e-bikes with my daughter, however, the bikes were the perfect size for us and easy to use. We had light rain that day, however, it was still comfortable to ride. It was somewhat of a blessing as it kept us nice and cool that day, especially since we were riding for quite awhile. Anyone that takes this tour should be physically fit enough to be on a bike for a couple hours at a time. Although we took a few breaks, I was glad that everyone in our group kept up with each other. They also provided the appropriate helmets and rain gear that was clean and kept us dry. Renaud, our tour guide, was very pleasant and friendly and was quite knowledgeable of the various sites we visited and all about Marie Antoniette's life. We enjoyed learning from him!
Since it was rainy, instead of a picnic, we stopped for lunch at a beautiful market that had all kinds of special goodies to choose from. When we finally arrived at the palace, we were blown away by the intricacies of the architecture, the gardens, the art work, the furniture, it was the epitome of what you would hope to see it a beautiful palace in France! After our tour, my daughter shared that this was one of the highlights of our trip to Europe. That's a pretty special statement coming from a 12 year old, especially when we visited with several friends throughout our 3 week tour. We are grateful for the "once in a life time" experience and will highly recommend this tour to our friends!

It was a great experience! For me (just a recreational part time cyclist) it was a long (26 miles rode and 9 hour day) day. The ebike was a big help for me in not getting too fatigued. The bikes themselves were very good quality and condition and after a few miles of riding were easy to use efficiently. The tour traveled over all kinds of terrain from busy bike lanes in the city, to designated bike paths along the Seine, to dirt, gravel, cobblestone through the forest and city streets of Versailles and the grounds of the Palace. I would not recommend this tour to an inexperienced or beginner cyclist. I thought the different terrains and conditions and speed of our group was intermediate to advanced difficulty. Our guide did a good job of keeping everyone together and safe while maintaining a fast pace. Besides the bike ride, we toured several areas of the Palace on foot. We shopped in Versailles for lunch supplies and had a lovely picnic. The tour company even supplied picnic blankets to all the riders (Nice touch). There were also some gloves provided to keep your hands warm as it was a chilly day. Obviously, bike helmets and bike locks were provided to each rider. A real plus for me was the large saddlebags each bike was equipped with that could hold your backpack, water, jacket etc. Our group was small (just 10 of us) and all older adults...no kids. All in all it was a great experience for me!

Beautiful e-bike tour with a wonderful guide, Nikolas. The views were stunning and the bikes in wonderful shape. Versailles, once there, was self-guided however. I thought for some reason that we’d have a personal guide for the entire tour, even in the grounds. But we managed and I have to say that I would definitely do this again. Don’t underestimate the water needed! You will want to stay hydrated and feeling tiptop. Shopping at the market prior to the group picnic was another highlight of this experience. It was so fun! The cities and forest driven through on the way aren’t to be missed, and the Palace itself is incredible. Highly recommend for anyone adventurous and who can ride a bicycle. The e-bike made this a breeze

Thoroughly entertaining and informative guide David escorted us on the bike tour while imparting his depth of knowledge of the histories of Versailles. David adapted our schedule to factor changing weather. We enjoyed his humour and anecdotes relating to the reigning Kings - and his general organisation and professionalism.

Our guide, Renaud, was extremely friendly and easy to speak with. He emanates warmth and we were happy to be on his tour. Unfortunately, due to our own personal extenuating circumstances, we were unable to finish the tour, but it was not Renaud's fault at all. FYI to all future bikers, you need to be a proficient rider.

Renaud responded right away and was very accommodating when we needed to reschedule our bike tour. The tour itself was good, but a bit treacherous. We were riding on city streets our guide Nicoli would go through green lights but after crossing did not wait to make sure everyone got through the light. Being in the back of the group, we got stopped on several lights, and a couple of times the group was out of sight (one time we started going the wrong way because we couldn't see where the group went). It was a bit stressful trying to stay with the group while trying to be safe riding Paris streets on a bike. The off road trails were very scenic, but rough—cobblestone or many tree roots required close attention to not get a tire caught up. (There were 2 people who fell during the tour.) We were up for this adventure, but it was more stressful than we anticipated.

Dear Wesley, thank you for taking the time to write this review. I find it a bit harsh, but it has the merit of allowing us to improve. I'd like to reassure you. At no time has Nicolas lost sight of you. The traffic-light crossings to which you refer are positioned on a long cycle path where the group goes straight ahead for 30 min, skirting the river.
Traffic lights change from green to red quite quickly in Paris. It's logical that when a group of 8 people cross streets on their bikes, the people at the back sometimes have to stop. They wait for the next green light.
In this case, the guide stops the group 50 meters after the intersection so as not to block it. This situation may have made you feel stressed in an urban environment. But if the guide hadn't waited for you, you wouldn't have been able to catch up with the group. You wouldn't even know that at some point you were heading in the wrong direction.
As for the 2 falls, they involved people who slipped almost at a standstill. In front of the Château de Versailles, climbing a sidewalk, and at the entrance to the forest, passing a barrier. Fortunately, no bandages were required. We exchanged ideas internally and decided to mark more pronounced points of attention in these areas to avoid slipping.
