Holland Bikes is a Dutch and French company that rents and sells normal and electric bicycles and accessories and offers repair and maintenance all around France.

We give guided bike tours in Paris, Versailles, Nice, Bordeaux, Lyon, and New York.
For the latter, we are looking for you!

You will give guided bike tours that last 3 hours, including half an hour break. The groups can vary from 2-15 people. Departure is from the Versailles Château Rive Gauche train station. We start in the old village, with time for shopping at its charming farmers' market. We'll then hop on a luxurious Dutch city bike to ride through the estate's magnificent avenues, with breathtaking views of the castle, and along the Grand Canal, we'll explore the Trianon estate and Queen Marie-Antoinette's hamlet.

You don’t need to be experienced in the field: as long as you are excited and full of energy, you will learn along the way. We will train you, so that you will become the best tour guide in Versailles!
Our group of guides all differ in ages (from 18-70 years old), countries of origin, and languages; everyone is welcome here at Holland Bikes.
