Stu, Niki and Lola were friendly, knowledgeable, patient and eager to share their deep knowledge of Versailles, the monarchy and the French Revolution with us. The day was fun, informative and engaging. If you're thinking about visiting Versailles, please consider skipping the (atrociously-long) lines and taking Stu & Niki's tour instead. read less

By far the best way to enjoy Versailles! The hosts are fantastic, the food is great, and the bikes are much better than any other bike tour!

They are so knowledgeable and really gave our group a thorough understanding of the Palace of Versailles from King Louis XIV’s building of the chateaux to the revolution during King Louis XVI’s reign. They were pros at getting us into the chateaux before the majority of the people (there were SO many people lined up) and functioned like a well-oiled machine. The picnic by the canal was delicious, and the bike riding was pleasant and easy. Highly recommend! read less

Nico was our guide, and he did a fantastic job coordinating the entire day and making sure everything went smoothly. He is very knowledgeable in French history and entertains you with stories of kings and queens. We thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience.

Great communication prior, during and all the way back to our final destination. Bikes are in excellent condition and we felt very safe the entire tour. My fiancé and I searched several tours until we settled on this one and we have zero regrets! Book immediately if you want to feel the breeze in your hair, marvel at the beauty of Versailles, skip the wait and focus on the highlights, enjoy a picnic with food you handpicked yourself at one of the oldest markets in France, and if you are happy to meet other travelers who are just as excited as you! Thank you for such a lovely tour! read less

The tour was well paced, with adequate breaks, although be forewarned there are not too many toilets available throughout the day (seriously, but it’s not their fault, that’s just how it is in Paris). The market is bustling and delicious, eat all the food!

The tour of the Chateau itself was led by Stu (although your group may be different). You could tell he was an expert in its history and he encouraged you to ask questions (which I definitely did), even providing personal anecdotes along the way. He was also able to navigate us through large crowds, so although you were surrounded by other people who try to run you over, you still felt like you were getting your own private tour. Not to mention both Stu and Pasquale were quite humorous, which just added more life to the tour. Also, the tour is all done in English, but they both speak fluent French.

Prepare yourself for a long day of walking and biking. Wear appropriate clothing - sneakers, comfy pants/shorts, and a jacket, as the wind/rain can get cold depending on the time of year. Stu and Niki are so prepared that they had ponchos/raincoats for those who didn’t have any, and Niki even loaned a pair of sneakers to someone in my group who was wearing pretty nice shoes that would have been ruined by the rain!

I definitely recommend this tour, especially for your first visit to Versailles. You don’t have to wait in the crazy long entrance line, it’s a unique experience, you get to see all the highlights plus a few secrets while learning about the dramatic, saucy, and sometimes disgusting history of the 18th century French monarchy and nobility (parents beware, it’s done tastefully but it’s the truth, and they don’t hold back on the stories). Vive la France! read less

Its incredible the knowledge and detail they impart with guests in a fun and interactive way. The palace was stunning and incredible. Stu is very passionate and incredibly knowledgable - he also appreciates getting in and out and away from tourists as quickly as possible so this is a great tour for those that want to get away from other tourists and have the best opportunity to see it all. The biking around and brunch is incredible and as much of the highlight as the palace, really unique and incredible experience! Will look out for Niki and Stu and what they do next - they are true professionals and really look after their guests. You have to do this tour if you go to the Palace - it is truly amazing! read less

This is truly the VIP Way to see Versailles! Skipping the line was worth the price but the best was having easy bicycle access to the massive and beautiful gardens.
