Versailles Palace Bike Tour with Market & Marie-Antoinette hamlet

Andrea_A, Jul 2026

Fantastic tour for all ages

This was the best way possible to tour the outside of the palace of Versailles. A short portion of the bike tour is spent in city on the way to/from the palace which was really fun as we got to see a glimpse of the city. The walk through the market and options for lunch provided by Aaron our guide were spot on. Aaron was amazing, as was our group and everything ran on time.
