“If you're considering a bike tour of the Palace of Versailles and its expansive grounds, stop thinking and just go for it. This tour was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve had in France — and a big reason why was our outstanding guide. From the very beginning, the experience was seamless. We met near the train station in Paris, got our bikes, and were whisked off to the picturesque town of Versailles. But this wasn’t just any tourist loop — we covered ground and got depth. The biking itself was relaxed and scenic, taking us through lush tree-lined paths, quiet lakeside views, and the grand avenues that…”

Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch

12.Versailles Palace and Giverny Monet House Visit with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,948 reviews · 9 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $242

Travel by air-conditioned coach from Paris to Monet’s home and gardens in Giverny, then enjoy a three-course lunch at the Moulin de Fourges before touring Versailles. A guide leads the main visits, with free time in the gardens. The day lasts about 9.5 hours and suits active visitors short on time.

“We have a great tour, albeit a long day. There was an accident on the highway that caused a delay in the morning, but we rushed through the Monet tour to make it up. I will say it’s a lot to see in one day and it would be great to do Versailles by itself one day. Steve was a great tour guide. He was informed and funny. We did move quickly so it’s not for anyone who has a difficult time walking or who might be a slow walker. Overall it’s a good tour!”

It rained all day, appreciate the earlier access to the bus, not everyone wanted to tour the gardens and there is nowhere really to wait that is covered. Bus was comfortable, appreciate the host telling us about Paris. We went on a Sunday, guide said that was usually busier at palace, it was crowded. But overall a great time.”
