OJ was an amazing and fun guide! We had a great time on this tour - two moms, and three teenagers. We are travelers who normally do everything on our own, and once or twice each trip treat ourselves to a guided tour. Last year we did Fat Tire's tour in Munich, and so wanted to use them again in France. Highly Recommend! Versailles at sunset with all the fountains and gardens was the highlight of our time in France! They made everything so easy and it was a great value even though it is a little costly!
Enjoyable

Well organised tour. The tour guides are friendly and helpful. The bike ride is enjoyable, you ride along the old laneways of Versailles.
The picnic opportunity is a nice touch and a chance to meet the others on the tour and see the palace from a different perspective.
You will still require some level of fitness to walk around the formal gardens within the palace as they are very extensive with a lot of walking required
If you do the sunset tour plan on a very late night as the fireworks do not commence until around 11.15pm, and the last train leaves around midnight.
My advice is to find a spot on the stairs to sit where you can look over the gardens and fountains and watch the fireworks, otherwise you are standing for a very long time. The palace is well worth the visit, absolutely amazing and very beautiful at night.
A long day well spent!

Fat Tyre Tours communicated very well and the tour took place in spite of protests going on disrupting many other events at the time. Everything was on time. Matt(hew), our guide, was relaxed, informative and fun to be with. He very professionally handled the situation when it turned out that one of our group members couldn't really cycle! The market in Versailles was somewhat disappointing; perhaps because I was expecting a more traditional, farm-style market with lots of fresh products for the picnic. The cycling, sights in the gardens, picnic, tour of the chateau and performances inside the chateau, as well as fountains - and fireworks shows afterwards, were all very special and definitely a more rewarding way of experiencing Versailles than usual. It is a long day, ending back in Paris at 2 am and thus not for the faint-hearted, but for us South Africans a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed!
Wonderful way to explore Versailles.
