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

Then we spent time at a local marketplace to purchase fresh bread, cheese, fruits and veggies, pastries, etc. to take for our lunch on the Grand Canal in Versailles. Biking everywhere was a great way to see the area and was very low key. We were taken to areas that most people miss, and were some of our favorites. Our tour guide Nichola was a pleasure to be with and very knowledgeable and friendly. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. We don’t drink alcohol so they provided fruit juice for us during the wine and cheese tasting. It was a Fantastic tour and could not recommend highly enough. 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!

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 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

There is so much to see in Versailles and this bike tour allows you to see all the most important points and experience everything there is! The whole 9 hours were jam packed with sights. You never have to wait in the ridiculously long lines like all the people touring the sites without a tour... which is worth the money alone! Skipping the line improves the entire experience, you never want to wait 6 hours to view the chateau. We waiting probably 10 minutes! When we visited, the weather was 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I could not wait in those conditions. To top it all off, our tour guide was a master at her craft. She gave the best historical insight and made it really fun! (I don’t like history) Becoming educated on the history of Paris makes me love it so much more. Thank you Boutique bike tours!! 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

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
