Overview

Take a tour of Versailles with a difference - by bicycle! It's the only way to see Versailles' expansive gardens plus you'll get to see highlights of Versailles that most visitors miss, including Marie Antoinette's country-style Hameau, the Petit Trianon and the Grand Trianon. You'll also enjoy a picnic by the Grand Canal then take a tour of the Palace of Versailles. Versailles is located just 16 kilometers/12 miles from Paris, so we’ll meet near a metro station within Paris before beginning our journey. From there, we’ll take the suburban rail (about 30 minutes) and then pick up our bikes just across from the train station.

Great fun biking around the wonderful Versailles palace grounds and its many unique spots. The guided tour with Martin was exceptional. Memorable experience for the entire family, including packing a picnic at the local marketplace.

We thoroughly enjoyed out bike adventure through Versailles. We were able to see so much more than if we would have just walked. Our guide Rory was excellent! He met us in Paris at the train station and was a wealth of knowledge giving us tons of information along the way.

I had visited Versailles years ago and found that this tour was a unique way to experience the grounds. The tour group conveniently met at Javel station in Paris where we met our tour guide, Rory. Rory was fantastic and had a high school history teacher vibe (though we confirmed he is not a teacher) of telling stories about the history of France in a way that was humorous, easy to follow, and relatable. He was truly a highlight of the experience! Rory kept the group together and guided us every step of the way about what to do and what to expect. When we got to Versailles, we walked a short way to pick up our bikes and then we headed over to a local market where he pointed out places we could go to get the best assortment for our picnic later in the day. Then we met back and starting cycling through the streets to enter the palace grounds. We spent the next several hours riding around together, making stops along the way for photos, stories, and visits to the Petit Trianon (the Queen's house) and the Queen's Hamlet (peasant village commissioned by Marie Antoinette). Somewhere in there we also stopped to enjoy our picnic lunch! This was a different way of experiencing the grounds at Versailles, which are extensive! If we were coming on our own to visit the palace, we would never have seen this part because it is simply too far and too exhausting to explore on foot. The only drawback of this tour is that we spent so much time out on the palace grounds that we only ended up having about an hour to explore the palace at the end of the day before closing. We felt rushed as we tried to first get oriented inside (the palace is vast!) and then hit the high points before we heard announcement that the palace was closing. If we could change one thing about the tour it would be to get us back to the palace with at least 2 hours to explore. My wife, who was a first time visitor, felt a little disappointed that we did not get more time inside (hence the 4/5 stars). Overall, I would highly recommend this sort of tour to explore parts of the grounds you would typically not easily get to visit and to have the unique experience of a picnic and a bike ride.
