One of our most memorable days in France! We had a wonderful tour led by Jen. From buying lunch at the market to picnicking by the Grand Canal, it was an experience we'll never forget. Jen's stories about the property really brought it to life. She was entertaining, friendly and informative. We learned so much about French history - fascinating stories. The pace of bike riding was perfect and the length of the tour was just right. It was the perfect combination of riding and learning, then the tour of Versailles (self-led) was spectacular. Highly recommend this experience!
We had an awesome experience on the half day tour! The weather was wonderful and the tour gave you a ton of time to bike around the grounds and make stops along the way. Rory was so fun, super knowledgeable about the chateau and the surrounding area and also kept it moving without us feeling rushed at all. He also gave us some great tips for the rest of our travel in Paris. We were sad when it was over! Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely LOVED this day in Versailles!! Jen was so welcoming and fun with great enthusiasm, knowledge base and entertaining delivery! I felt really safe with her as our guide even though I hadn’t ridden a bike in about 25 years!! Was really glad we did this tour and experienced Versailles in a unique and alternative way. Plus you have a picnic!! Tour price includes guided train ride and ticket, bike rental, entrance to the grounds, Marie Antoinette’s residence, peasant village, and palace. Great value for a full day of beauty, history and fun. :)
This is definitely the best way to see Versailles! Our tour guide, Rory, made it as fun and informative as it could have possibly been. He was phenomenal! He had great stories. He was funny, patient, helpful, and he had an answer for every question anyone asked. The grounds of Versailles are vast and being able to tour them on a bike helped you see and learn about way more than you ever could on foot on your own. Once inside the palace, we did the very cool VIP tour of the king’s private quarters, which included headsets so you could easily hear the tour guide named at all times.
My husband and I booked the all-day Versailles bike tour, and it was fantastic! First, I had to upgrade our bikes to e-bikes due to concerns over a recent injury and whether I would be able to ride a bike all day. They were very accommodating and great with communication. The day of the trip, I had been having some pain and spoke with our tour guide, Dave. He reassured me that if I wasn’t able to continue riding, he would take my bike and allow me to leave the tour group. Fortunately, I was able to stay with the group the entire day. Next, our tour guide made our tour one of the highlights of our vacation. He was kind, flexible, informative, funny, and extremely engaging. We really enjoyed learning all about the history of Versailles while riding through the scenic grounds. Dave explained everything in a way that brought the historical facts and people to life. We both agreed that we were so glad we decided to book the all-day tour instead of visiting on our own. We would have missed so much rich history, and it would have just ended up feeling like a trip to a museum. I highly recommend Fat Tire Tours and will be looking forward to other tours with them in the future!
