My family and I had the best time on our IMPERIAL HERITAGE RIDE. Rita was great, it was nice not having to worry about any details. Rita took care of everything. We had a great horseback ride, followed by a really nice lunch and a guided tour of the château, we will be doing more rides with her on future trips around the world!

Decided to surprise my wife with something different this Valentine's Day, and I found this ride in Fontainebleau. I thought it would be the perfect gift as it combines horse-riding - one of her passions with visiting the countryside, and we were actually so happy to escape Paris’ crowds for a day. The team was very welcoming and the whole day was just perfectly organized - from picking us up at our hotel to visiting the castle with a great guide. Cheers to the Fontainebleau team for such a fantastic experience. We’re definitely planning a rerun!

My friends and I went on holiday to France, and this ride was the highlight of our week in Paris! From making the reservation to being picked up at our hotel, to the ride, the lunch and the visit of the chateau after, we felt very well cared for. Alice gives one the confidence to ride and gallop through the forest like it is easy as pie. Even some of my friends who do not usually ride or care for horses had a lovely time in the saddle. We will absolutely come to ride again with Nomad Riders, thank you! »

I could not rate this experience any higher. It totally exceeded all my expectations. The forest was breathtaking, the horses well trained and gentle, the food was delicious. Alice, our riding guide was simply awesome. Arusyak, our Castle guide was also fantastic, she knew everything about French History, Architecture and Royalty, down to the smallest detail. Undoubtedly the best experience of our trip to Paris.

Excellent experience horse riding as a first timer. Everyone was friendly and kind. The whole experience was enjoyable and unforgettable, would definitely recommend.

The cobbled trail through the forest made for carriages that Napoleon used to bring women along on hunts.

Everything was wonderful on this day-long excursion. I, my spouse, and my two tween daughters enjoyed every aspect of the day:from the horseback riding, to the delicious lunch in a quaint nearby town, to the great privately-guided tour of Fountainebleau. A great investment in your Paris experience and highly recommended!
