Read full reviewSuch a unique and fabulous 9-hour day! We felt like locals as we cycled 25 miles round trip on back roads, bike paths, and forested trails from Paris to Versailles; shopped at the open air market (so many wonderful food choices!) & stuffed our bike bags with food and drinks, then picnicked beside the Grand Canal. Be prepared - the focus is the bike ride, no time to dilly dally as you follow Renaud and enjoy the scenery. The Palace of Versailles audio guide mobile app is provided ahead of time so you tour the palace and gardens on your own (with times set to meet back at the bikes) and can listen to the app before, during, or afterwards. Truly one of the best action-packed Paris adventures I could ever have imagined!
Great way to see Paris and get to Versailles! Lovely ride, picnic and market visit was fun. Versailles was very busy/touristy and hot but interesting nonetheless.

Read full reviewA great experience. I loved riding the bikes through the trails and woods to the palace and back from the palace. Stopping at the market for lunch was a ton of fun. I’ll go back to the market for a full day. The bikes came with handy saddle bags for all your stuff. It is a full 9 hours … by the end of the day, you realize how much you covered. Would highly recommend this tour. (Make sure you know how to ride a bike!)

The bike ride itself was as good as visiting Versaille itself…Renaud was an excellent guide and was very safety concious and caters for a broad range of people, the electric bikes make it so easy to get up hills…I would definetly recommend to friends and family.

Read full reviewThe bike ride was fun! The stop in town at Versailles was super cool to shop for your lunch in the market and then transport to the palace for a picnic. It is worth noting that this is a mountain bike experience as large part of it is through the Forrest and zipping through busy streets. It would not work if you have anxiety or even if you aren’t good on a bike. It is also worth mentioning that the e-bike is pedal assist and not throttle support. That may make a difference depending on your comfort level. All in all, it was a good time.

Read full reviewWe had such a good time. The best way to get to versailles. Our guide was exceptional with all our questions and his knowledge of the history on the way. Could have stayed all day. You will need an Aperitif once you are done. Would recommend to all abilities. A couple of small hills but with E bikes it's a breeze .
Renaud was a great guide, with lots of history to share about three things we were passing by on our toffee. He was lovely and kept us safe through the streets of Paris. Great day!

Read full reviewWonderful bike ride!! Probably the best thing I’ve ever done on vacation! The guide was very knowledgeable and super friendly. You get to see so much more of Paris then if you just stay in the city. The market stop with amazing fresh food and the picnic by Versailles all breathtaking. Oh and we biked through the most beautiful little village…I would move there right now if I could!! I did this bike ride with my two daughters 14 & 15 years old and they enjoyed it so much. I would definitely recommend this bike tour to anyone who wants to explore more than the city!!

Read full reviewI did this e-bike tour to Versailles on my own (daughter stayed in Paris for some shopping time). I had a great time on this tour. The cycling was easy - rarely needed to use the electric motor but when I did use it was mainly for fun! Our tour guide, Reno (apologies if that’s mis-spelled) was very informative and always cheerful. He was especially good at keeping a close eye on 12 people of varying degrees of cycling ability. I estimate more than half the trip was through two national parks which made for a very quiet and serene ride. The stop at Versailles market and then lunch in the palace grounds was delightful. Forty years since I last visited Versailles so this was more a memory jogger. Handy hint: this is a real 8.5-9 hour tour so don’t make plans for the evening. I highly recommend tour. Thanks, Reno.

Read full reviewTLDR: If you want to see Versaille, this is the best way to do it. Fun, memorable, interesting sights, and as long as you are even a little fit, you can easily manage the biking part. I was a little nervous about 1) being able to keep up the with the group and 2) traffic, but both turned out to be non-issues. I am not a regular biker -- I walk/hike around 4 or 5 miles a couple times a month, and that's it. Hadn't been on a bike since before COVID. And this trip was just fine. The electric bike helps you up the few hills and you can change the settings to put in more or less effort.

If you want to see Versailles and want a little adventure too, book this tour. The electric bikes are super easy to use and make the bike ride very enjoyable. You’ll go through a few city streets, beautiful bike trails, picturesque towns, and stop at a lovely market to gather a picnic lunch you will eat on the lawns of Versailles. I would highly recommend!
Great bikingtrip through woods and parks to Versailles village and castle. Bikes are really good and Arnaud is an easy going nice guy.

Read full reviewBest way to go to Versailles!!! Wonderful sunny day. Bikes worked like a charm. 12 people and 1 guide - layed back, relaxed. Lovely strawberries we bought in the market. Beautiful picnic in the gardens of Versailles. Versailles itself is majestically beautiful. No waiting with tickets in hand. Great views. The only problem was that everything was packed with tourists! Can't escape them ??

Read full reviewThe tour was a unique way to experience Versailles and so much more. It is great for active people that do not want to spend the entire day at Versailles. I was pleasantly surprised that much of our ride was on paths in a peaceful forest. The stops along the way were interesting. The market and lunch in front of the palace was a great way to spend a few hours. The guide, Renaud, made sure the group stayed together on the ride. He is knowledgeable and well-organized. The ride was close to 30 e-bike miles and we walked about 5 miles. You should be able to handle a bike in an urban environment and on wide gravel paths in the forest. It was nice to be in the fresh air and see sights we would have never seen had we taken a more traditional tour to Versailles. I highly recommended this tour.
Reynaud was excellent. We would recommend this ride to families with teenage children. Great way to see otherwise hard to get to places like public park lands and forests.
What an amazing day! We got to see so many things riding through Paris and on the way to Versailles. If you have the time while visiting Paris do not miss this one.
