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.
