Nikki, Stu and George were awesome guides. Paris can be alot to swallow. they really do make it easy and fun to learn the in and outs.

over all they are the dream team through all of what they do. I would extremely reccomend!!!!!! read less

Stu and Niki are so great from the beginning. Very kind, excited and happy to have us, they summarized our tour and got us prepared for our great evening. We were given choice of bikes, assisted in adjusting for proper and safe fit, as well as offered safety gear and bike attachments to help us carry our bags. These guys are experts, with the studies, degrees and expertise to back it up. They have had loads of experience and Stu was raised in Paris so knows everything. They made the tour relaxed and personalized, small groups where everyone felt like friends and didn’t waste time but allowed all the time we wanted for photos and questions at any spot along the way. We were able to see the most popular tourist destinations without feeling much like we were in a tour at all. Biking makes getting around so quick and easy I would prefer it to walking any city now that I have experienced it. It was also v eu safe. They took the time to set up routes that minimize interactions with traffic and vehicles and know when to be extra cautious. We ended the evening on a beautiful boat tour and they even brought wine for us to enjoy. We felt like we spent the evening with old friends showing us their hometown, we can’t recommend enough! read less

Please ignore that one person who ridiculously gave the only four-star review out of almost 800 people - we all know people like that. If you are even considering a visit to Versailles, for the first time or not, you simply must book a tour with BBT. You will experience the property like never before, develop friendships with your small group, shop at the local market for your own picnic lunch by the canal, and make lifelong memories that bring a smile to your face every time you think back to that magical day. We feel lucky to have experienced what clearly is a passion for every BBT guide, who all are utterly positive, talented, funny and kind. I am proud to recommend them 100% and booking another tour next time we visit is at the very top of our list. read less

We really enjoyed the whole day, which was well organised and informative. We managed to arrive at the meeting point a few minutes late (got lost on the way) but luckily were able to join our group before the train departed. read less

Stu knows the ins and the outs of Versailles, brought to life each character/member of the royal family, and made absolutely certain our family had such an incredible experience. I would implore anyone looking for a similarly terrific tour, to book today! read less

 Great balance of touring the Palace, history, humor, nature, picnic and bike riding. Highly recommended.

We were truly treated to the insights and experiences of an insider and innovator. Stu was our guide but we did get to spend some time with Nicki too! She introduced us to the market and coordinated the wine and cheese tasting. The kids loved picking out items at the market for our picnic later that day while the parents loved picking out an amazing red burgundy after the wine tasting. 🙂 Stu was incredibly knowledgeable and even though I had been to Versailles before - I experienced and saw more than I knew was even possible! These are incredibly well-educated - plus they are both lawyers! Every aspect of this tour was incredibly enjoyable. The (British) bikes are classic. The rides are easy and beautiful (countryside around Versailles). The market was fresh and fun. Starting with the gardens is brilliant! The picnic on the grounds delightful. The history and background comprehensive. Oh - and the skipping lines part?! Yes!! You do NOT want to wait in a line at Versailles FOR SURE! Seriously, this was our favorite part of our trip and has left us with outstanding memories and a desire to return quickly and explore the other tours offered by Boutique Bike Tours with Stu and Nicki! read less

Stu was great! He has a way of telling the history in an interesting way as a story. We learned so much. This was my 3rd visit to Versailles. I hardly got anything out of my previous tours in comparison. We saw behind the scenes, places where you couldn't normally go. Plus all the essentials. We stayed away from the crowds and lines. Other bike tours were jealous of us with their large groups. Stu knows his stuff! He is very interested in history and it shows. Not your average tour guide. This is hands down THE best Versailles tour! You will not regret booking with Boutique Bike Tours! 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
