    Amazing!
    Lois_D, Apr 2024
    Amazing and fun way to explore Versailles! JB was an excellent guide. This tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended
    Great way to see the palace grounds
    LynetteF_B, Apr 2024
    Great new experience to see so much of the palace grounds - even in a downpour! “JB” was a great instructor/guide! He even provided full weather suits!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thank you for a wonderful experience. I can do a lot for this discovery, but alas for the rain, it's more difficult. :) That's why, when it rains, I offer Kway tops and bottoms to protect your clothes. It's a pity you needed them. Come back when the weather's fine :) Jb, creator of Trip'in Trott §Trip'in Versailles
    Great day outside the castle!
    Judy_V, Apr 2024
    First of all our guide was so kind and patient when I had difficulty adjusting to the two wheeler. The grounds around the palace were spectacular and we learned so much. Love that he took movies of us riding as well!!!!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thank you. The idea of discovering an electric scooter is first and foremost to be comfortable with driving it. If we need to take a little more time during the initiation, we do. And then, if a participant really isn't the help, I lend my scooter, which has a saddle. I also want people to keep a souvenir, which is why I take photos of the films during this discovery. I'm really glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your opinion. It will reassure people who feel uncomfortable. See you soon for other discoveries? JB, creator of Trip'in Trott §Trip In Versailles
    A great way to experience Versailles beyond the palace.
    Ashley_D, Apr 2024
    We had an excellent time on this tour! An exciting and unique way to see Versailles and the vast grounds. Our guide, JB was very knowledgeable and fun. The equipment and gear were well maintained and clean. If you are thinking about this tour - highly recommend!
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Hello, Thank you for this review and I'm glad you had a great time. I always do my best to make this discovery fun, and nice. For the safety of all, I maintain my equipment and always make sure that the electric scooters are clean before departure. With pleasure JB, creator of Trip'in Trott § Trip'in Versailles
    Awesome mix of history & nature :)
    Myanh_M, Apr 2024
    We visited the Versailles palace garden a 2-3 hours before this then went on the bike tour which gave us a different perspective going right around outside the palace/streets (covering a lot of land & saved our feet from aching). We had such a great time with this! Our guide was nice and prepared mini history lessons with laminated pictures at each stop for us to look at. He took awesome pics and videos of us during our ride so we can look back on the moment as well. Walkie talkies for communication & helmet/gloves/bright rain jackets for safety awareness. Just FYI: Stand up electric bikes though, not sitting ones but they are easy to get used to. (Make sure you pee before this cause this cobblestone roads will make your bladder scream and arms feel like jelly)
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Thank you. Yes, the discovery is done by scooter and not by bike. There's no saddle and no pedals. I show a lot of photos of these "machines". As for the paved roads, that's also the charm of this discovery. The Parc du Chateau and these roads are very old. Think of the kings and queens who rode their carriages on these cobblestones :). They would surely have appreciated the scooter's suspension :). Bye JB, creator of Trip'in Trott
    Fun tour around versailles
    simon_h, Apr 2024
    Great tour around versailles. Was very wet, but we still enjoyed the tour. Lots of fun for teens and adults.
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Hello, Thank you for your feedback. Indeed, I can show lots of monuments in the Park, take photos and make sure that everyone enjoys this discovery. Unfortunately, there's not much I can do about humidity or rain :). But I do lend Kway so you don't have to clean your clothes at the end :) Thanks JB, creator of Trip'in Trott
    Great Surprise!
    Xenia_R, Mar 2024
    It has been a very interesting tour! It allows you to discover Versailles and the gardens of the castle differently and the experience of the bikes has been fun! Although the bad weather we had that day (heavy rain) the guide (JB) was very considerate and helped us a lot. I would recommend it 100%. We will book other Viatour tours for sure! BR
    Response from Host, Apr 2024
    Hello Xenia Thank you for your feedback. The discovery is indeed very nice and I can adapt the whole tour to have a good time. The only thing I can't change is the weather :) Looking forward to seeing you again. JB
    Better than we imagined!!
    Erica_W, Jan 2024
    Great tour! We had lots of fun (our teens loved it!!) - JB was a wonderful guide sharing interesting bits of history, making us laugh, snd capturing video memories for us. We highly recommend!
    Response from Host, Jan 2024
    Thank you Ericka. It was a very nice walk for me too. I always try to show my trotters a good time. The photos and videos are always a great souvenir. By the way, happy new year!
    Absolutely amazing tour in Versailles
    Olivia_A, Nov 2023
    We were welcomed by our friendly guide who made me and my partner feel so welcome! He was detailed and enthusiastic which made our experience unbelievable and a highlight of our trip.He put lots of effort into the tour by providing us with a plethora of information and even came with photos and qr codes containing further information about the sites we passed. A great bonus was the abundance of photos he took of us along the way. We are so grateful to have stumbled across this amazing tour. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of coming to Versailles :)
    Response from Host, Dec 2023
    Hello, Thank you for your opinion. My pleasure is obviously to make discover the park and its monuments with the electric scooters, but also thanks to videos, photos to show some places today disappeared. From culture to fun, it's a great way to discover Versailles. JB
    Do it! One of the best excursions we’ve ever done!
    Amy_B, Nov 2023
    So glad we made time for this tour while in Versailles. The electric scooters gave us such an appreciation for the vastness of the Versailles park, and JB was a great guide. Even though it was just my husband and me (no other guests signed up on the rainy November afternoon), JB still made the time to take us out and give us a fabulous tour experience. We generally take bike tours while on vacation, but glad we did this instead. We’ve ridden scooters in the city, but these are bigger, tougher, and faster, so very fun!
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Hello, Thank you for your review and I'm glad you liked this discovery and the electric scooters. Yes, it's a nice change from electric bikes. It's less tiring and more fun.
    A must do when visiting Versailles
    ALISON_T, Oct 2023
    Absolutely fantastic experience! Our guide was lovely- so patient until we got the hang of the scooter bikes and was so informative sharing interesting facts about the places we explored. My partner and two teenage boys highlight this tour as 100% the highlight of their trip to Paris (we did a lot of tours/excursions). The whole experience of visiting Versailles was made perfect by incorporating thus trip into our day, I will certainly remember the experience as one of the best I have ever had. Cannot recommend this enough and such great value for money, I would have paid double for the experience!
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Thank you, and I'm delighted that this discovery was the most enjoyable visit of your trip to Paris and Versailles. Thank you for the recommendation. Paying double the price is very kind :) but I will continue to offer the same price. Thanks
    A treasure of an experience
    Christine_P, Oct 2023
    The guide was friendly and easy to find and communicate with and the tour itself was delightful, beautiful and enchanting. We couldn't have loved it more. We saw parts of the park that we couldn't have otherwise experienced. We both loved it. Thank you so much!!
    Response from Host, Nov 2023
    Thank you very much for this review. With electric scooters, you can see a lot in 2 hours. Glad to have welcomed you.
    A lot of fun
    Patric_B, Oct 2023
    JB was great. The tour around the grounds of the castle was a lot of fun. If you are looking to go into the castle you will need to purchase tickets.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Hello Patrick, thank you. Yes, the discovery I'm proposing is obviously not in the chateau de Versailles, or the gardens, but in the park. With 600 hectares, monuments like the Grand Trianon, Petit Trianon, the Grand Canal harbor, it's really another way to discover Versailles.
    Perfect ending to a full day at Versailles
    JERRY_M, Oct 2023
    My wife and I did this tour and loved it. JB shared a lot of history and the future Olympic plans. The e-bikes are easier to use then segways and are faster. We spent the day at Versailles and recommend the 3:30 tour so that you can get familiar the palace and gardens before the tour. JB was very accommodating for our requested extra stops to get the perfect picture.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    thank you Jerry for your opinion. Yes, the Olympic Games will soon be held in Versailles, so this discovery is a good way to see the "future of Versailles". For additional stops, it's always a pleasure to respond positively to my customers' wishes. Bye
    Great Monday tour of Versailles.
    Andrew_P, Sep 2023
    My son & I had a fantastic tour, led by JB. He was an excellent guide, very informative and very friendly. The scooters were a really fun way to experience the sheer size of Versailles! The tour is also available on Mondays, when most of the other facilities are closed.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Hello, Thank you for this review, and I'm glad you liked this discovery. In fact, I'm open on Mondays, when many activities, including visits to the castle, are closed. This makes it possible to stroll around the park and the town without a lot of tourists. It's much nicer. With pleasure
    We were able to cover so...
    Laurelei_L, Sep 2023
    We were able to cover so much more of the park grounds of Versailles using the E-scooters. They were easy to use and were fun to ride. I would recommend to anyone who wants to see a lot and may not have the legs for 22 Km.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you for this review. Yes, thanks to scooters, we can cover a lot of ground in 2 hours. Very happy to have welcomed you. JB
    Jb, our guide, took...
    Emily_S, Aug 2023
    Jb, our guide, took lovely pictures throughout and shared them with us at the end of the tour. The e-bike/scooters were incredibly fun and my 15 year old sons especially loved it.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you for this review. Photos are always appreciated, but the best thing is to keep the memories in your head and enjoy the scooters and the beautiful scenery.
    A great and care-free way to see the rest of the Versailles grounds.
    Bryon_L, Jul 2023
    So much fun. A great and care free way to see the rest of the grounds of Versailles. we got to see some places you won’t see on the chateau or garden tours and got some great elevated views of the whole town. JB was a gracious and caring host, easy to work with and was very responsive in our communications. Would recommend to anyone who loves the outdoors and is looking for a little adventure.
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Hello, Thank you Bryon for your opinion. The city of Versailles and its surroundings are full of hidden secrets. I'm very happy to have helped you discover them. Thank you for your recommendation.
    well worth the visit to Versailles
    Jane_B, Jul 2023
    The scooters and guide were excellent. Speedy machines but easy to use and safe. Saw a considerable amount of the woodlands and Versailles town itself.
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Thank you. Yes, electric scooters can be fast and that's why you were able to discover a lot during this discovery. That's also why I always do an initiation with the start. Hope to see you soon!
    Definitely book!
    Elizabeth_D, Jul 2023
    Had a fabulous trip which was lots of fun. Loads of information about the palace and the royal family. Would recommend to all, even if you have not used a scooter before as it was very easy to grasp.
    Response from Host, Jul 2023
    Hello, Thank you for the title Book without hesitation! Electric scooters are very easy to use. I often say, you know how to ride a bike? you'll know how to ride a scooter. For those who are worried, there's a scooter with a saddle, but I think you've had a successful ride with a scooter without a saddle. Well done and thank you.
