Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! She is highly educated in French history and has a great deal of experience as a guide.
The tour company made sure that the bikes were an appropriate height for safety purposes and explained the gears, brakes, etc. for novices. As well, the process of riding through the streets and gardens were well explained regarding safety and route. The bikes were comfy and came with panniers that held blankets and rain ponchos. Those pochos came in handy throughout the day.
We visited the palace, saw the exterior of the Grand and Petite Trianon, saw some of the gardens (although it was winter it was still pretty), the hamleau of Marie Antoinette, the grand canal and the Temple of Love. Mid Day, we stopped at a local market to pick up items for a picnic. Our guide, Noema, had all of the cutlery, serviettes, wine openers etc. We were able to enjoy lunch on the banks of the grand canal with in view of the Château.
Noema was so knowledgeable about the royal family and the history of the time that we had a highly educational experience as well as a feast for the eyes. This was an excellent choice of tour as we saw some of the town of Versailles and as a group were able to enter without waiting in the long lines.
