Our guide, Nicolai, was charming, funny, extremely knowledgeable, excited to share with us, efficient, and just an all around wonderful guy. It was like meeting an old friend (that thankfully put up with all my silly jokes). He made everyone in the group feel like they were necessary to the experience, and had a deep knowledge of all things Versailles. Biking was a dream, and was made accessible to everyone on our tour (with differing ages and abilities). I will never forget riding my bike through the Petit Parc on a tree-lined lane, with sheep and fields on either side. The day was overcast and a bit drizzly, but it didn't dampen how absolutely magical the whole experience was. There was so much laughter and discussion, and the picnic was delightful in the simple, delicious approach that the French have to meals. Versailles is crazy busy, full of people that wait in line for hours and never learn a tenth of what we did. It was truly a VIP experience, and one that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Thank you for providing something so special!! -Gina read less

His historical knowledge was so great and his storytelling clearly conveyed his passion. We learned so much and it really made Versailles come alive for us. Getting to picnic on the grounds and see so much of the property that we wouldn't have otherwise had time for was such a treat. Our group of fellow travelers was lovely and the size felt just right. We wanted to bring Nico with us on the rest of our trip to teach us more French history! read less

Iryna and Nicolas were so wonderful to be around, it felt like we were immediately old friends. Nico kept us engaged all day with his incredible retelling of French history, we couldn't stop laughing or smiling all day! The market was an absolute gem and we loved discovering the local fare as we loaded up for our picnic. Walking through the gardens and fountains gave us such a sense of awe. Biking along the grand canal was spectacular, and we quickly got the sense that we would never have been able to experience Versailles like we did had we not taken this tour. Stu and Niki have perfected a wonderful hassle-free experience with a team of people who are 100% on point and clearly love what they do. We can't say enough great things about this experience, do NOT hesitate to book with Stu and Niki!! read less

Because we did this in September, the grounds were practically empty. Biking around the gardens was definitely the highlight, but there was also a fantastic picnic and it was cool to see the inside as well. Niki was the best host: engaging, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! I was so impressed with how thoughtfully the entire tour was constructed. If you are thinking about going to Versailles, book this tour! read less

This was a great experience for our whole family (including our 12 and 14 year olds). Definitely a highlight of our trip and the only way to see Versailles!

You get a lovely guided tour of the Palace of Versailles, the garden, and then a fantastic bike ride through the most beautiful grounds, followed by a picnic in the grass. How many people can say they’ve eaten cheese studded with truffles and drank crisp, cold rosé on the lawn of the gardens of the Palace Versailles? Also, worth mentioning, I’m a vegetarian and am stuffed from this tour! read less

Being able to skip the line saved us a lot of time and the experience Stu & Niki created was exceptional. Biking around the city and in the countryside of the palace grounds was exciting and special. The picnic lunch was the icing on the cake and a truly memorable experience. I cannot recommend this experience enough, especially if you're tight on time trying to see all the wonderful sites in Paris. If you're even thinking about it... book it! read less

It was fun biking around Versailles, but the best part was learning about the history / the kings and their extravagance through story telling by Niki. She is an amazing story teller.
I would recommend to other families and visitors to experience this amazing tour when in Paris. read less
