We had an absolutely wonderful trip! Our guides were both great storytellers and friendly! The communication of this company is perfect with very clear directions. It was so easy to find them and get to Versailles. The bikes were lovely and adjusted to us by a very friendly team. The tour was entertaining and full and the biking was easy and beautiful! We were able to see so much of the grounds and the town as well and the cherry on top was getting to shop in the market and picnicking after a lovely bike ride through the grounds of Versailles. Even our 16-year-old son enjoyed the tour!
I read the reviews before booking so expectations were high & happy to report that the tour exceeded all our expectations. The transfer from Paris are super easy, the bikes are high quality & the tour is excellent. What sets the tour apart however is the team from Boutique Bike Tours. From the outset they were attentive, friendly & very conscious of making sure everyone had the right size bike & could ride safely. We spent weeks in London & Paris doing wonderful activities every day however our children (aged 9 & 12) chose this as their standout, number one activity for the vacation. Don't think about this one & just book it. You won't regret !!
Such a great day! Shortest 9 hours of my life! We met at the train station in Paris, received our bikes in Versailles and headed straight to the palace. We were so lucky to have a guided tour through the palace; you could learn the stories behind what you were seeing. Absolutely necessary when walking through the beautiful halls and apartments of the King and Queen. I would not trade this for anything, it was absolutely the best tour I have ever been on.

Our family of 4 (including two teenage girls) thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The tour was outstanding! We were provided a great overview of the day, the bike operation, and made to feel comfortable with the entire process. Our rides in and around Versailles were easy and safe. We absolutely loved the Versailles palace tour, but we were especially grateful for the picnic lunch by the canal with the palace in the background. The queen's hamlet was amazing, and our guide was great about answering our questions and taking many pictures of us. The entire day was fantastic.
The bike tour was 5++ stars! The customer service was fantastic. I had hurt my back a few days before and was able to reschedule for a different day. The communication was excellent. This company is very organized, they had all of our tickets ready to go at all times. Everything ran like a well oiled machine along with the best personal touches! The bike were very good. The tour guides were exceptional, they were very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. This was the best tour we did on our 2 week vacation to London and Paris. Versaille is beautiful. I would highly recommend this tour. Thank you Boutique Tours!
If you really want to experience Versailles then this is the way to do it. We had such a great time taking in the beauty of the palace, biking around the grounds and having lunch at the grand canal. Special mention must go to our tour guide Clara. She was so much fun and engaging, you could tell how passionate she was. It was truly awesome.
