Enjoyed a wonderful and full day walking, biking, and picnicking in the Versailles area. The tour guide was helpful and clear with getting us on and off the train from Paris to Versailles. The bike shop was standing by with our bikes ready upon our arrival. Adjustments required were quickly made then and later. Bike ride to the palace was nice. The ear pieces provided so we could hear the tour guide while touring Versailles were very helpful. The visit to the market provided plentiful varieties of foods and drinks for the picnic. We were lucky with a beautiful sunny day for the picnic on the Versailles lawn. Overall a fun and relaxing day and experience.
Maya was amazing and full of great information! She explained what we were doing and where we were headed next throughout the day. I loved how she would check to make sure we all stayed together and did make us slower riders feel rushed. Great day and experience overall!!
