    Every part of this experience was fabulous. Man on was the main guide and coordinator, and she was great! Lunch at the Michelin-starred restaurant with views of the Gardens was relaxing and delicious. The tour of the castle was very informative and not too long. Francesca was our guide, and she was great at telling the stories about the kings and queens who lived there. Horseback riding in the Gardens was breathtaking. This was worth every Euro!

    Our experience with Nomad Riders was exceptional. From the first email communication to the return at our hotel lobby in Paris at the end of our tour, we were met with nothing but stellar professionalism and top tier hospitality services. I felt that from the start of the day, I had nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the experience unfolding for us. (As the logistics coordinator for the family- this in itself is worth it's weight in gold!) Everything was thought of and taken care of. We were met in the lobby of our hotel in Paris right on time, and had a smooth and comfortable ride to Versailles. We went directly to a spot amongst the gardens that had a trailer and horses tacked up and ready to go. Within a few minutes of arriving, we were already on horseback. Our guide was so lovely as we spent 2 hours in what felt like traveling back in time and being in a movie and just having the most surreal experience all at the same time. We cantered through fairways and walked through knee high flowers, and explored a huge area that turned out to be just a tiny fraction of the grounds. Immediately upon on return to the trailer area, our driver was waiting to whisk us off to an unforgettable modern 18th century brunch at the Michelin- starred Arielles Château de Versailles by Chef Alain Ducasse. Our dietary preferences of gluten-free and plant-based were not a problem in the slightest. We missed out on "the cheese course", but every other course was served with delightful options that were not only delicious, but served so incredibly beautifully and with such care- the experience around the food itself was just as magnificent. As soon as we were finished with our meal, our car as waiting at the front to bring us to the front entrance of the château, where someone was already standing the line with our tickets for the tour. There was no waiting or wondering where to go, and amongst the long lines and swaths of people there, this was one of those little touches that was really appreciated. Obviously, the Château and surrounding area is beyond describable words- and that part of the experience was wonderful. (So much so, that my next trip to the Paris area will include a few days in Versailles.) As soon as our tour of the château ended, our car was ready for us front and center- again , no walking, no lines, door to door service throughout. I truly felt so taken care of throughout this experience and all it's activities. I didn't have to think about anything- I just got to enjoy. I would HIGHLY recommend Nomad Riders to anyone and everyone that values incredible equestrian experiences. I've been inspired to take on more adventures with Rita and her fantastic team. Thank you Rita and Co. at Nomad Riders for one of the most unforgettable days I've ever had.

    It was an extremely well curated experience. It was worth every penny. The host is extremely professional. The horse tour was very pleasant; my friend who was a complete beginner did just fine. The entire experience was everything we anticipated and more.

    What a day at Versailles! My spouse and I, along with our two daughters, had an amazing time from start to finish. Our kids, who ride horses from time to time back home, were so happy when they realize we could actually ride in Versailles. Thank you to the whole team for making this moment as magical as possible for us. From the horseback riding to the delicious lunch and the privately-guided tour of the palace, every moment was special. Special thanks to the guide made the visit not only insightful but also tailored her discourse to be engaging and fun for the kids, they loved it!

    I have ridden in many places around the world and this ride was truly something unique! When planning my trip to France, I did not think about booking a horse ride in Paris, since I was staying in the city. When I found out I could ride in the Gardens of Versailles, I immediately booked and I could not be happier that I did! Cantering through the alleys of Versailles, with the palace in the background was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I am not ready to forget. I highly recommend to anyone looking for an all-inclusive experience- it's followed by a delightful gastronomic lunch and the visit of the Palace of Versailles. Thanks so much!

    My wife and I wanted to try horseback riding for our honey moon in Paris. Perhaps the best decision we made: This trip far exceeded our expectations. It was such a fun and beautiful experience riding through the gardens of Versailles. My wife is an experienced rider - but I am not - and our guide made me feel very comfortable and confident on the saddle wandering along the canal of Versailles!! The ride was followed by a delicious lunch in Alain Ducasse’s restaurant. We had previously heard of this chef - Michelin stars’ restaurant but never had the opportunity to try and the cuisine does not disappoint. Probably the best of our life and definitely the most delicious of our vacations in Paris. The day ended on a visit of the Palace - as expected - grandiose…with a guide who transported us back to the time of Kings and Queens with her funny anecdotes about French aristocracy and knowledge of the Palace’s architecture. Thank you for this unforgettable experience! The day was perfectly planned that we only had to think about enjoying each moment. Life-long memories to add in celebrating our wedding.
