What our riders say
Nomad Riders created the most wonderfully curated experience for myself and my 30 year old daughter. From the private car pick up in Paris to the riding in Versailles, the amazing Michelin rated brunch…and then a fully custom ride for us in the Loire Valley! Rita and her guides (and horses) have delivered on exceeding our expectations! Thank you for creating such special memories that we’ll treasure forever.
My Dear friend and I booked our bucket list adventure with Rita from Nomad riders for early September for the Loire Valley Castles Tour. To say that Rita and the team fulfilled our dream adventure is an understatement. Dinners and lunches were an authentic experience in the culinary delights of French cuisine. Meeting our trusty steads, we were absolutely delighted with how well we were matched up, stunning well-trained horses suited for this wonderful adventure. We felt comfortable and safe and supported by our riding guide Raphael and the support of Jerry. Riding though the royal forests, vineyards, orchards and small villages you felt immersed in the countryside. Our visits to Chambord Castle and the Chateau De Beauregard were filled with wonderful stories by our amazing guide Veronique, who brought the history to life. Such a wonderful riding experience and exceptional way to experience the history and gastronomic delights of France. Cannot recommend this adventure highly enough. Rita and her team looked after us so well, we felt very special indeed.
This was an awesome luxury experience from beginning to end! It starts with arriving via private car to Versailles where you mount your equine partner and ride through the chateau grounds. I could almost imagine riding here when the King lived here. Lunch was equally amazing from the time you stepped out of your car to the last bite of desert. Then a quick 2 minute drive to the Chateau for a private tour customized to your requests. Though I had been to the Chateau before this was by far the best tour.
Our day at Versailles with Nomad Riders was nothing short of magical. The entire day was a luxurious adventure with nothing not thought of! The experience is something I will NEVER forget, and hopefully I will be booking future rides with them. Rita and her team created an eventful day that feels like living in a dream. The only work you have to do is show up in your hotel lobby. They thought of, and took care of, all the details from Paris to Versailles and back again. 5 Star Service. 5 Star Adventure.
