Great in all weather - Very positive, the weather was rainy and the team provided rain coats for everyone. The bikes were nice. I liked how we were taken to markets to sample local produce.

The perfect day in Versailles - This tour is a must do while in Paris! First we toured the palace with our very informative guide. Then we biked to a market where we shopped for our picnic lunch. The biking through Versailles was so beautiful and the picnic in the garden was amazing! After lunch we rode our bikes to tour Marie Antoinette’s hamlet. This tour was our favorite day in Paris. Highly recommend!

Tres Bon by bike! - Such a great tour with Nicolas! Great way to see Versailles and being a leisurely bike rider (I typically only ride bikes once a year when we go on vacation and take some sort of bike tour) this was very doable! The stops were great and Nicolas was amazing!

Tres Bon! - We had the best time with Nicolas on our bike tour! He was super knowledgeable and friendly and answered all our questions. From the train ride to the market to just biking around Versailles, everything was perfect! I would highly recommend, just be mindful of the weather, luckily for us the rain held off for our picnic lunch but it was rather chilly so bring layers and GLOVES! Overall such a great tour, a great way to see Versailles and some of the town itself, I'm not an avid biker but if I could handle it, so can you! :)

I loved the tour - Stopping to enjoy each site, the only thing was it was a little more difficult than I expected. I hadn't biked in years and my legs were not ready to ride that long. It was so beautiful though and worth it.
