Loved everything about this tour - great mix of biking, walking, history and sights! But by far the best part was our guide, Clara - smart, funny, caring, and a brlliant historian/actress! Loved every part of this day!

I've been to Versailles several times before, but this was a much better way to experience it. Our guide Marijke was wonderful! She was personable, knowledgeable, and concerned with everyone's safety along the way. Arriving at the palace early and having an early entrance time was a big advantage, helping to get through that part of the tour before the crowds built to their maximum. Riding through the town, experiencing the food market, and picking out and purchasing our lunch was fun. The opportunity to then ride back to Versailles and have a picnic lunch in the park at the foot of the lake looking back toward the palace on a beautiful fall day was magical. Visiting the Queen's Hamlet was a bonus experience. This is the way to see Versailles!

Wow ! From beginning to end this trip was fantastic! Claudio our guide made this trip memorable. Making sure we were comfortable on our bikes, making sure we had the best secrets of the food market and he hit all the beautiful spots we would have missed if we tried to do this trip on foot! The best part of this trip was this magical bike ride as the fall leaves were gently coating the ground through the open parks of Versailles. I can’t tell you how magical it was. In a grand finale Claudio told the tragic history of the fate of the royal family and our group got goosebumps and teary eyed and Applauded his story with claps! It’s will be an adventure I will always cherish!

Boutique Bike Tours was a perfect experience from start to finish. I booked a few weeks in advance for our honeymoon in Paris, and they were very prompt and helpful over email, with great directions to their meeting spot.
Overall: fantastic tour, fabulously fun day, great history and tons of fun! Don’t stress if you aren’t athletic, my wife was 4 months pregnant and had no problem! Our guide, Eleanor, was professional, smart, and hilarious, she made for an awesome day. ***Book on the weekend!!! The farmers market is open, and the fountains are all running!!!***
Meeting at Gare du Montparnasse is easy, they even had pictures in the email to help guide us around the station. We took the fast train to Versailles with our guide and picked up our bikes, cruiser style, some with baskets and panniers. Easy ride to the amazing farmers market for cheese tasting and some time to buy lunch, we spent about 50€ and had plenty of food and drink **Bring cash, easier than card** we then toured the gardens, with ~10 minute east rides on the bike broken up by short walks to see beautiful sights and hear the stories of Versailles. We had lunch on the grand canal, picnic blankets and cutlery all supplied by our fantastic host, Eleanor!
Then we headed to the palace for a quick espresso and then skipped the line for a tour of the palace. Even if you have been before, having a guide and combining it with the tour of the grounds really made it a unique experience. We finished up about 5, rode our bikes back to the train station to bid au revoir to Versailles… amazing experience, 6/5 stars!!!
Tips:
Bring cash for tips and the market
If you can ride a bike at all, you’ll do great on the tour
We were pretty tired out at the end of the day, so don’t plan a anything big that evening
By far the best way to see Versailles!!!

This tour was the highlight of our trip! It is very long, from 8am-6pm, but really a good deal for the price. We explored the entire grounds via bike and our guide was so knowledgeable about every stop. The inside of the palace was beautiful and I appreciated it a lot more since we learned so much from our guide, Claudio. 10/10!

First up, Eleanor (tour guide) was most pleasant and very knowledgeable. She made the tour an entire success. Everything ran to time and was entirely smooth. All instructions were clear and easy to understand. We chose the biking tour for an alternative and fun experience. This tour went above and beyond our expectations and was the highlight of our trip. Lots of fun things to do and experiences (don't want to spoil surprises). We were also able to garner prespective and historical knowledge about many of the sites.... Also makes a wonderful tour to propose to that special loved one ;)

Outstanding experience with Boutique bikes and Fiona. Boutique has a smaller group (8-9) people with the addition of biking to the Versailles market and cheese tasting. ( not just solely staying on the estate of verseilles). Fiona was one of the best tour guides we have had in decades of traveling! Perfect English, enthusiastic, funny, and extremely knowledgeable about history and Versailles. Would highly recommend and Try to get in Fiona’s group 😉

What a fantastic tour. My group was only 7, so it was practically private, and we had the wonderful Dina as our guide. She showed a true passion for the history of Versailles and even though I consider myself very well-real on history, I still learned quite a lot!
Exploring by bike allowed us to see so much more of the palace and grounds as opposed to simply walking around. It is truly the best way to get around.
We began our day meeting with Dina and getting our bikes, and then we were off to the palace to tour the inside. The palace cannot be described in words, such opulence, such beauty! I truly wish we could have spent more time exploring the less-traveled rooms of the palace. It may have added time to the journey, but I would have had no problem with that!
From the palace we explored some of the inner gardens down to the Latona fountain. The fountains were running since it was a weekend so it was quite a treat to see them in their full splendor. Again, I wish we had time to delve deeper into the groves and hidden nooks and crannies of the inner gardens, but alas, we had to forge on to make it to the market in time.
After a pitstop at the gift shop, we rode through picturesque Versailles town to the market, which was like my weekend farmer's market back home times 1000. I was simply overwhelmed at all the options, but managed to put together a diverse array of delicacies to try at our picnic lunch.
After this, we rode back through the park of Versailles down beautiful tree-lined lanes by verdant fields, the palace shimmering in the distance. We arrived for our picnic along the Grand Canal, and had a wonderful time chatting and enjoying our lunches.
From there, we went on to the Grand and Petit Trianon's (exterior only- the interiors have nothing left of the decorations of the ancien regime, they were all overhauled by Napoleon and his successors, so not too much to see in there). Following this, we strolled through the English Garden and onto the Queen's Hamlet. What a treasure! You can truly feel Marie Antoinette's passion for the natural world, and her desire to escape the gilded cage of the palace. It is like a fairy-tale village you would find in Disney World's Fantasyland. Unfortunately, the interiors are closed to the public as a result of some people not being respectful in the past, but again, the interiors here are all from Napoleon's time and the following decades, so not much of Marie left in there anyway.
We rode back through town to the train station from there and made our way back to Paris!
This was an incredible experience. My ONLY disappointment was that it wasn't longer! I would have happily stayed into the night if it meant exploring every inch of the treasure trove that is Versailles... But alas, does that not give me an excuse to return once again? :)

I loved this bike tour of Paris. The bikes were sturdy and well maintained and the pace was leisurely. Our guide, Maria, was so knowledgeable and clearly loves the city of her birth! She is funny and kind and is an excellent guide through the chaotic streets of Paris. Our small group rode through parks and on the designated bike lanes and did not feel uncomfortable. We stopped at so many of the iconic sights of the city and Maria shared some interesting information about each sight. As the ride progressed through the late afternoon into evening, Paris, the city of lights, was breathtaking and more beautiful than you can imagine. The evening ended with a lovely cruise down the Seine and a short ride back to where we began.
If you would like a unique way to see and feel the vibrancy of Paris, take this tour!

Hi We’ll be in Paris the beginning of August and would love to do the Versailles bike tour, would the summer heat be unbearable though?
StuBoutiqueBikeTours
باريس, فرنسا
Bonjour Jenny, thank you for your message & interest in riding with us in Versailles. If the weather were to impact on our day we do make adjustments. For instance if it were to rain, as our Guides are licensed & able to guide inside the Château, we would spend more time inside. If it is too hot, we would adapt the riding section of the tour, stop in the shade, provide lots of water & options for the group on the day. This has never been a problem. As we are always in small groups and well staffed it is very easy for us to make these adjustments on the day. We always ask our guests to keep us posted on how they are doing. In the meantime if you require any assistance during your time in Paris please do not hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,
Stu & Niki
