Very good moment combining pleasure and history
Excellent to do, the team is very nice. Despite my disability, I was able to complete the entire course. Thank you
A big THANK YOU to Florent for his good humor and kindness
Overall great experience. Had a little trouble finding start point but guide was very accommodating to our slight tardiness and also reached out via message and call to make sure we were on the right track. We were a group of 4 first time riders, ages 17-55, were paired with another group of 3 so total group size was very functional. Gave easy to follow instructions on Segway use and chance to practice for a few minutes before starting tour. Rain was not in forecast but when it happened anyway guide was prepared with ponchos--who could ask for more? Provided tour of gardens with stops to take photos and hear commentary, also sent photos after the tour that he took. Lots of tours try to charge for any extras and it was refreshing not to be! We would 10/10 recommend this experience and thanked the friend who recommended it to us!
We loved our getaway this morning in the park of Versailles... Florian, our guide combines pedagogy, humor and knowledge. Serious work; you can go with confidence. Regarding the Segway, honestly it's really accessible to everyone. We had some apprehensions that Florian was able to dispel by accompanying us attentively. Really sincerely on top!

This experience was so much fun. We are so happy we did it… it was the highlight of our trip to France. We got a broad view of the estate and were away from large groups of tourists. Beautiful! Our tour guide was amazing! Definitely recommend it!
It was great! Wonderful tour, guide and wonderful place. Won’t take you inside the palace, but you can see it from a distance. Won’t take you inside the gardens, but you get the feel for them. Maybe do the palace first thing in the morning and then the Segway Tours and then the gardens if you want to do it all. Went all around the waterway and had great explanations. Really felt like a VIP. The Segways are fun and the tour guide was great. Highly recommended.
Our family did a private Segway tour of the Versailles gardens with Florian. Florian was a great guide, he is friendly and enthusiastic, and gave us the historical background to the grounds and the structures within it inflected with his trademark wit and humour. To top it all off, the weather was marvelous on the day of our tour, which made it a perfect half-day for us in Versailles.
Wow - the tour was so fun! The Segway was easy to get the hang of and really fun to ride. It was a great way to cover the distances, and Florian did a great job as a tour guide and instructor.
Why did I not get my picture? You said you would send but I never received it? Please respond. Had a great tour experience but the follow up was very disappointing
Hi Tracy Sorry that your photos couldn't find you. 🙏🏻 As always after our Tours we send photos to our clients by WhatsApp or WeTranfer. The WeTransfer that I sent you the evening of your Tour was perhaps lost in your spam? I'll send it back to you right away! If you do not receive it within the day, it is because the email address I have is not the correct one. In this case, can you confirm it to me by message. Sorry again that your photos couldn't find you. 🙏🏻 Warmly, Florian
