Meet near Gare Saint-Lazare, take the train to Versailles, and spend a full day cycling the royal grounds with a small group. Your guide leads you through the market, Marie-Antoinette’s hamlet, both Trianons, the forests, and the Grand Canal before timed palace entry. Arnaud, Lena, Guillaume, and GiGi are among the praised guides.

“This was such a great way to see Versailles. As a solo traveler, it was nice to be in a small group of 10-11 ppl. The tour was on time and largely stuck to the schedule. There was more than enough time at most stops and we really got to do a lot of different things. From walking around the market to biking around the grounds and having a picnic along the water, it truly was a great day. A great time and I’d say well worth the money! Also, our tour guide Theo was awesome, fun, and engaging!”
