Our Story

We are a tour company that seeks to be different. As travellers and adventurers ourselves, we founded Boutique Bike Tours with the sole purpose of sharing Paris & Versailles with you, as friends, rather than guides. We believe the greatest travel memories are filled with connection, laughter and meaningful interaction - this is certainly how our best memories have been created. Paris & Versailles has been home for over 20 years, Stu practically grew up in the Versailles grounds! We are deeply passionate about human connection, France, travel, history, food & cycling. At Boutique Bike Tours we offer fun, bespoke, off the beaten path experiences ideal for foodies, inquisitive adventurers & story lovers. We escape the crowds, skip the long lines & show off both the must-see sites & very best hidden gems. We started with a simple goal – to work with not only the very best certified guides but great people. Today our team is comprised of fun PhD, MA-level scholars & specialists of their fields, all-natural teachers and storytellers excited to share the very best of France, their knowledge & local recommendations. Paris & Versailles have a way of capturing the hearts of all who visit & we hope you’ll love it too! Bon Voyage!
