Bike Tour with my age in mind.
I am a 68 yr old, out of shape and haven’t been on a bike for many, many years.
I am not saying it wasn’t hard and I had to walk up some slopes, but I would do it again.
Our guide was lovely and very informative.
We visited areas of the grounds you can only cover with a bike. Highly recommend!

A breezy bike ride through the environs of Versailles
Breezy, beautiful, relaxing, fun. A wonderful bike ride through the gardens and streets of Versailles. Phoebe are tour guide was friendly and took good care of us. I was expecting to go closer to the chateau — the gardens and such. But ultimately, I was happy with the trip.

Great tour for families and kids
Easy, informative and fun tour. We saw so much of the gardens that we otherwise would not have. The educated tour guide help us understand the history which was great before going into the palace because we did not have to stop and read everything. Highly recommend the tour before going inside the palace.

Versailles bike tour
Easy going bike around the lake and woods at Versailles. Alex was an excellent guide! Would have liked the tour to be longer, 3-4 hours instead of 2 since the grounds are so big.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Karen🚴♀️ We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed exploring Versailles with Alex. We completely understand your wish for a longer ride; the grounds are so vast and beautiful! For guests who’d like to spend even more time discovering the park at their own pace, we also offer bike rentals. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

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.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your experience on our Versailles Bike Tour! We’re delighted you enjoyed the relaxed ride, the fresh air, and the fascinating stops around the palace with your guide.
Our tour is designed to be about two hours long, which makes it active and engaging while still comfortable and suitable for everyone! As you mentioned, this experience is focused on the outdoors, so it does not include entry to the Palace interiors, the Trianon Estate, or the formal French Gardens. We keep it this way so guests have the freedom to explore those areas on their own if they want, either before or after the ride, at their own pace.
We love offering this experience with the flexibility to enjoy Versailles however you like, all with the best value for your money. Thank you again for your thoughtful review, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back for another adventure! 🚴♀️✨
