Super fun experience! My...

Bryce_W, Apr 2025

Super fun experience! My only complaint was we were not told in advance to purchase the addt’l tickets so we were unable to see Saqsaywaman. Better communication would have been appreciated. However, the guide ended up taking us on his own time on the way back to town so problem solved!!

Excellent, kind guides and all around fabulous experience!!!

They were incredibly kind and accommodating and even loaned us their jackets because the weather was so wet and cold. The horses were well behaved and because we had more experience we were able to trot and canter instead of just walking.

Nice combination of horse activity and historical sites

A very nice tour. I have two guides for this tour: one would help me with the horse and one would drive me to the archeological sites and give me introductions. The horse I rode was a little bit unhappy in the beginning, but my horse guide quickly calm him down and riding with him for the rest of the trip is pleasant. I rode across the ranches between the archeological sites and the view was beautiful! The guide for the archeological sites was very knowledgeable. He gave me a quite comprehensive introduction to every site in a good English. Recommended this tour: it’s a nice combination of some horse activity and historical part.

Safe Nature experience for Family with kids

Gabriel and his staff show tremendous pride in their horses and the history of the area. The pick-up from our hotel was on time and a short drive to the drop-off point. It was fairly muddy due to rain but it wasn't a problem for the tour experience. The horses were very gentle and well trained. Gabriel's initially had staff escort our kids (10/12) but once they got confident they let them ride on their own. Peaceful, beautiful trails away from the busy city. Then the archeological stops. Gabriel also allowed us to spend time at the Llama ranch instead of another site. Very fun and educational. We had some rain but we came prepared with Raincoats and rolled with it in good spirits. Would 100% do this tour again.

Perfect horse riding experience
