“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.”
