A wet but fun tour

tranzowonzo, Dec 2024

Our tour guide Marley was fabulous. She took the time to do a safety check and speech of the bike and its operation. The tour itself was challenged by rain but Marley provided rain ponchos and an umbrella. We lumbered through the poor weather, at times it was miserable but still quite enjoyable. Marley’s knowledge and personality were the ingredients to a perfect tour. I would highly recommend this tour rain 🌧️ or shine ✨.

What treat

William_G, Dec 2024

Even though it rained still had a great time

I had been to palace before but this provided things I have not seen, what a nice day trip

No better way to experience Versailles

Cynthia_B, Dec 2024

We all agree that Ryan made this tour absolutely perfect. His theatrical experience brought this tour to life. His knowledge of the history of France/ Versailles was impressive and he relayed it to our diverse group very well. The whole group was laughing and having an amazing time. Market experience was great and Ryan gave great pointers on food to buy. Riding the bikes around the grounds of Versailles and the picnic by the Grand Canal was so picturesque. There’s no better way to do this experience! It is worth the day trip away from Paris :)!!

Marley was the absolute best! She was so knowledgeable in the history and made it so amazing! Definitely a must do. Favorite excursion in Paris

Really fun day, even with pouring rain!

N2943ZVdavidh, Dec 2024

We had such a fun day with Ryan as our tour guide. We went with our two daughters (10 and 12) and there was another family of 4 plus a solo on our trip. We all had a great time even though it was absolutely pouring rain! We made the best of it with ponchos, umbrellas provided by the tour and as much tree cover as we could find :-). Ryan was very entertaining and knowledgeable, we learned a lot and shared some laughs.
