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!

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
Florian was a great guide, he made all of us feel comfortable on the segways and expertly guided us through the park. It would have taken us a full day to see everything we saw in a couple of hours. It was awesome fun for our whole family
Florian was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable about the history of the grounds, and his enthusiasm made the tour even more engaging. The safety demonstration was thorough, which made us feel confident and secure throughout our adventure on the Segways. Riding around the stunning gardens and grounds on a Segway was not only fun but also a unique way to explore this historic site. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun and informative way to explore.
Fantastic, fun and informative experience. Flauren was the best. The highlight of my trip. It saved my legs for the Palace!
Fantastic fun and informative experience. Essential given how vast the grounds are. Florian was a star and very easy to talk to. Had such a wonderful time. Best experience of my trip to Versailles
Being first time users, the Safe operation and use of a segway was first and foremost. The patient and clear instructions allowed us to be on our way in less than 20 minutes. Florians knowledge of the Versailles Park, its history and structures allowed for a more wholistic understanding of the entire Versailles Chateau. Traversing the vast area on a Segway made that tour possible, it would be challenging for many people to go on foot not to mention time consuming. Highly recommended for the reasons above, plus Florian is a wonderful guide, ensures your safety at the same time making the tour interesting and enjoyable. Keep your selfie stick, Florian is happy to take your photos as well.
Thanks to Florian for this superb tour and for his great sense of humor! I would come back with great pleasure
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
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!

Very good walk with a very good view to do again and especially a very good instructor who knows how to animate the walk frankly 10/10
Super walk that allows you to discover safely the huge park of the Palace of Versailles. By turns cheerful, experienced, joker, Guide at the top, our friendly companion was perfect, to the point of feeling part of our family!
Delighted with this experience in the beautiful gardens of the Palace of Versailles, with the outstanding Florian accompanist, full of humor combining sympathy, pedagogy and culture. You can go there with your eyes closed you will not be disappointed and you will have an unforgettable time 👍

A great fun activity to do with family or friends. We visited Versailles, a pleasant walk with the comments of the Florian Guide! Organization, conviviality and discovery on the program! I highly recommend
A great activity to try absolutely and the icing on the cake with a great educational facilitator, trainer, secure, kind and above all a simple historical visit, with anecdotes, sufficient and sprinkled with a touch of humor we love it. Thank you Florian. #I'll be back #for another circuit. thank you and with pleasure
Large tour of the park which allows you to discover the grand canal and the 2 Trianons in a fun way. Friendly guide offering original historical anecdotes.
A great experience with Florian, an extremely kind and friendly guide! I learned lots of interesting things. I highly recommend !!!
Unforgettable tour with Florian, a very friendly guide, full of humor and culture, in the wet park of the Palace of Versailles. Even in the pouring rain it was great, so imagine in good weather! An ideal way to be able to cover the impressive distances that the park offers, discover its smallest nooks and crannies, learn lots of interesting and amusing anecdotes, and learn about a rather fun means of transport, it must be admitted. Thanks to the simple but excellent instructions received, mastering the machine was child's play! I highly recommend.
