Wonderful horse riding experience! Nico is a great guide for all levels. Spectacular views, a lovely walk to the sea, and small groups make for a perfect, gentle ride. The horses are clearly happy and well looked after. Highly recommend!

Beautiful horses and really well organised. Highly recommend. A great experience even if you’re an experienced rider as it is just at walk but great to be able to see Crete on horseback.

Beautiful experience right the mountains! It is a tiny family business and it feels good! Thie horses are sweet and friendly. The ballade was from the mountain down to the beach. The view was astonishing! And you discover less touristic areas which was charming. Only my mum, myself and Niko the horse owner. Niko was simply perfect! Very professional and friendly. He loves his horses. They are well cared of. We recommend this experience 100%!

Small groups for safety, and good for any skill level! We had a great time going down the mountain and even through some of the town!

Amazing experience

Donna_R, Jul 2025

Nicolas was friendly and funny and gave lots of information about his horses and the areas we rode through. It was clear he was passionate about his horses and their welfare. My daughter and I had a great time and saw some beautiful scenery from horseback.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Horse riding

Sophie_G, Sep 2024

the experience was amazing. Nico was the best host, very lovely and chatty, giving us lots of information before we started the ride. And the route was lovely with many viewpoints. Well worth what we paid. An experience we won’t forget.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you so much!!

Rubbish

Dieu_M, Aug 2024

The worst experience ever. The host of the company got to the hotel and was really rude. Sent my gf back to my hotel room as she not dressed correctly for the horse ride but no dress code requirement was presented prior on the website. Got to the horse ride place and the host did not give clear instructions to how the tour of the horse ride was gonna go but instead was quiet and went to each and every horses in their stable and horse groomed them for like 15 mins which didn’t make any sense. Why didn’t he do it before getting everyone on tour. He then got a horse as a presentation and said to me you should control this horse like you control your women which was really disrespectful to me and my girlfriend. We had to leave in the end because he wasnt explaining how the tour it was gonna go from start to finish when we got there and he also made a rude comment about my partner which was unnecessary.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

I'm really sorry to read this. But most of all, we are very surprised about your comments. When you go horseriding, eveybody knows that a very short short and flip-flops is not ok. This is ok for ponies on a fair, but not a horseride in the mountains. Your experience totally doesn't correspond with Nico's behavior and other person's experiences. You can see the other review. Nico is a very humble person. You wrote you 'had to leave'. Who told you to leave? The others from the group, they went. You just left without paying...

A beautiful experience with sunset

Thomas_R, Jun 2025

A beautiful, natural experience with authenticity and repetitive factor nature and animals in one united

Zeker het boeken waard!! Het kennis maken en oefenen is niet bij in de tijd inbegrepen. We hebben zeker 2 uur effectief paard gereden. Je krijgt veel meer dan beschreven!! Ondertussen zijn we allemaal topmodel -;)
