“This was a PERFECT day! We visited the market in Versailles to prepare for our picnic. The bikes came with water-proof saddlebags and protected our provisions from the rain quite well. Our tour guide, Arnold, took us all around the grounds and shared stories and history with us all along the way. He was friendly and funny, and whether with the group extremely well. We absolutely loved riding our bikes through the property, enjoyed a picnic of bread, fruit, and wine outside of the summer palace, and were amazed by the grandeur of the palace! Truly a wonderful experience.”

“The guide was nice and fun but the entire "tour" consisted of standing at ONE point, pointing from afar and explaining some things. Apparently that's what is meant by "exterior tour". We didn't think this was worthwhile when for the same price you can actually visit the sites. No walking around, no visiting sites, just standing where you have a nice view and talking.”
