Full description

Explore the miraculous Palace of Versailles on a full-day sightseeing tour by bike. Meet your guide at a central location near the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and then go to the nearest RER station for the quick train trip to Versailles. Once at Versailles, visit the village market to buy baguettes, cheese, ham, wine, or whatever you desire for a picnic lunch, to be held later in the Chateau's gardens. Spend most of the day riding in a relaxed fashion through the tree-lined gardens and near the Grand Canal. The average Versailles tourist often doesn't realize that they will only visit a small fraction of the gardens if they go by foot. But on this 8-hour tour, see it all.  The tour includes round-trip train tickets from Paris to Versailles and back, and all necessary bike equipment, including children's seats, if you need them.

  • Round-trip train tickets, Paris-Versailles
  • Guide
  • Bicycle
  • Timed entrance to the chateau
  • Entrance to the Petit Trianon and Marie Antoinette's Domaine

Fun way to explore Versailles and see most of the grand canal and the park grounds. We loved how we could stay and explore Versailles at our leisure afterwards. The picnic lunch was fun and unique experience. Our guide, Maddy, was very friendly, enthusiastic and good guide. You do so see and do a lot in a day, so keep in mind to stay energized. While it is a taste of what Versailles can offer and you might not have the most time to explore everything in depth since the grounds and palace are extensive, you can have an idea of what you would like to do if you want to return back in the future.

Apart from our picnic getting rained out! it was a great day. Everything from meeting to getting on the train, getting our bikes, getting our food was smooth and efficient. Nick was a veritable encyclopedia of information. He was animated and enthusiastic despite the rain and made sure that we got to see everything promised. A good day despite the weather.

Passeio diferente. A experiência de pedalar ao redor do grande canal dos jardins de Versalhes e fazer um piquenique às suas margens foi única. Acessamos também as imediações do palácio, lugares incríveis. Não recomendo para quem tem a expectativa de explorar o interior do palácio pois o tempo foi curtíssimo para isso. Apesar do percurso plano em praticamente toda sua totalidade e da bicicleta ser bastante leve, o passeio é um tanto cansativo devido às grandes distâncias a serem percorridas pedalando e andando e ao calor que fazia no dia (viajamos em julho).
