This thing was ridiculously worth the price. Like, the amount of money you pay for these guides to hang out with you for 8-10 hours doesn't seem like enough. You'll be lucky if you can book tickets a few months out as I hear it's booking up fast. I can't imagine anyone being dissatisfied with one of their tours. Book now!! read less

The tour started early with the back entrance to Versailles We avoided the crowds and left enough time to see the rest of the palace with a lunch trip to the local market to shop for our own food before settling at a picturesque spot just like to the picture for the tour. There is no question that a bike is needed to get a proper perspective of Versailles. All the highlighted spots were included on the tour. An added benefit was a slight workout for me. Unfortunately, one lady had to drop out of the tour because she hasn't been on a bike for years and was not comfortable in riding one even though the physical demand was very modest at best.

At the end of the day, I gained an appreciation of the magnitude of this historical site and a better understanding of French history. The tour guide, Nicholas, was very patient in answering all the questions and describing significant items of interest. Overall, this was one of the highlights of my Paris trip. read less

Riding our bikes through town, getting food at the market and having a picnic on the Versailles grounds was the best! Stu was an EXTREMELY knowledgeable tour guide who was very well informed about the palace and gardens. Both Niki and Stu made us feel so comfortable. This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. read less

Highlight of our time here in Paris. Niki and Stu are phenomenal. We loved it so
much we booked their Paris at night for tomorrow!

Our absolute highlight!! 10/10!! I’d painstakingly researched- thoroughly (for years) - for family/children friendly tours of Paris and Versailles.

Boutique Bike Tours was a definite stand out for me.

All the reviews stated knowledgeable, friendly tour guides, promising small groups, exclusivity in the grounds/gardens/palace, and extra cultural experiences with the Versailles markets and amazing local produce inclusive etc.

Oh my goodness!

Nicky was our main group tour guide (we also were very fortunate to meet and deal with her lovely partner Stu too).

My 9 year old, introverted son still talks about Nicky and all she taught him throughout the Versailles gardens.

She absolutely engaged my 4 children (ranging from 16-9). They learned more about French royal history in that tour than they will likely ever learn in their lives. And they literally loved every minute of when Nicky spoke! As did we all.

The bike ride through Versailles was such a dream. It met my ridiculously high expectations- and then easily exceeded them. Purely because of the impeccably fine-tuned, attention to detail and intimate set up that Boutique bike tours has carefully created.

The way the guys customised the bikes/equipment and historical stories to suit and engage my children was so very professional. I take my hat off to them.

It’s still my absolute stand out experience of all of my European adventures to date (I’m a 40yr old Australian).

Nicky, Stu and co- we absolutely sing the highest praises for your amazing business!

We will come back to France just to take another tour with you.

Thank you again x read less

The night tour of Paris and the full day at Versailles… and they were both spectacular! I cant even put into words how perfect these tours were, but I’m going to try!

Firstly you would NEVER see so much of Paris or Versailles if you were walking for days, as you can on a bicycle in a few hours. Secondly, there isn’t an audioguide or group tour that could match the feeling of being on a personal small group trip with these guys. Their knowledge and passion for Paris and surrounds makes you feel like you’re hanging out with friends, not walking around like a tourist. The experience is intimate, warm and inspiring.

Paris and Versailles are spectacular places- treat yourself to see them in style. Stu and Nikki... we loved you guys and we cant wait to be back next year and do these two tours again with our family. You should be so proud of yourselves, you’ve got something magical going on.

I never write reviews, but seriously DO this tour. We were so damn glad we did. read less

It was the perfect way to finish off our visit to this special place. I have been to Paris many times, but I saw a new - and stunning - perspective to the city and learned a great deal of history that I didn't know. I enthusiastically recommend Stu, Nikki and team for those interested in having a fun-filled night seeing all the popular spots without the crowds and chaos. It was a perfect night! read less

Great communication prior, during and all the way back to our final destination. Bikes are in excellent condition and we felt very safe the entire tour. My fiancé and I searched several tours until we settled on this one and we have zero regrets! Book immediately if you want to feel the breeze in your hair, marvel at the beauty of Versailles, skip the wait and focus on the highlights, enjoy a picnic with food you handpicked yourself at one of the oldest markets in France, and if you are happy to meet other travelers who are just as excited as you! Thank you for such a lovely tour! read less
