We went on Sunday, met up with the tour group, and took an express train to Versailles saving us quite a bit of time. Bikes are beautifully made and comfortable. Going on Sunday meant the Versailles farmer's market was open which was a highlight! I purchased wonderful herbs, salt, and food for our picnic. Versailles itself is magnificent and am so glad we took the day to experience the history. The fountains are operational on Sunday but not every day. Our guide Stu was incredibly knowledgeable and has an interesting professional background that I felt added to his credibility as an experienced guide. I learned so much and was entertained by the stories he shared about King Louis' reign. Stu handed us off to his fiance Niki who took us to a picnic lunch on the grounds by the water. Afterwards we toured Marie Antoinette's Hamlet with Niki which was a delightful comparison to the palace. Niki did a great job painting a picture of Marie's life and experiences. Afterwards we returned to Versailles to tour and watch the fountains and then headed back home. The tour is moderately strenuous. I was tired by the end of the day (was also 10 weeks pregnant) and I'm mid-30 and in reasonably good shape. If you're in poor physical health or have any injuries, you might want to reconsider your tour options. I've been on many tours but this is my first bike tour and I thoroughly enjoyed it. HIGHLY recommend this experience. Boutique Bike Tours created a fun and stress-free experience that is worth the value. read less

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

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

The Boutique Bikes tour of Versailles palace and gardens was the unanimous best experience we had by a long shot. Stu and Nicki are tremendous guides with amazing knowledge, humor and showmanship. If you have a free day in Paris, you would be doing yourself a disservice not spending the day with either of them. If and when I am able to return to Paris I will be doing the Paris by night tour and will purposely schedule my trip around their schedule. First class company! read less

We had a wonderful time on this bike tour and are definitely going to do it again when we return.
