Crisscrossing the city on a bike with Niki and Stu, as they tell you little anecdotes and history of all of the monuments and buildings, while perfectly timed with the sunset - you couldn’t get a better night out in the city of lights. I highly recommend them! read less

For someone who gets bored easily with tours, his storytelling abilities kept me focused and entertained. As for biking through Versailles, what a vibe! This was the highlight of my entire trip in Paris. Towards the end, we had brunch with wine that was carefully curated to perfection. Highly recommend! read less

Niko was an expert on Versailles and we couldn't wait for him to say the next interesting detail. If you plan on going to Versailles and you don't do this experience... you will be greatly missing out. read less

They are lovely people who are extremely knowledgable and love what they do.
Moreover, biking through Versailles is definitely the way to go. The grounds are huge and there is no way you can cover all of them by foot. Furthermore, Stu, Niki, and Lola are extremely knowledgable and will teach you so much about the history of the palace and France. Finally, Stu took us inside the palace at the end of the day when the crowds had dissipated. Therefore, we had the entire palace to ourselves (unbelievable).
I HIGHLY recommend this experience. Be there (with Stu, Niki, & Lola) or be square. read lessMohammadNiki, Stu and Claira where all outstanding in there hospitality and knowledge all along the way.

They make it feel not like a stuffy museum trip but more like a hometown visit with a good friend where you also just happening to walk around a gorgeous chateau. I fell in love with the town and the grounds of Versailles and feel like I can confidently return feeling a bit like a local. The other bike tours literally could never! If you can, go on the full day tour with the market stop but honestly the half day trip is equally lovely and both are worth every penny and more. read less
