We had an amazing sunset horse riding experience in Cappadocia! The team was very flexible with the pickup and start time, making sure we would be in the perfect spot to enjoy the sunset. As first-time riders, we really appreciated how patient and supportive our guide was throughout the entire ride.
The route through Red Valley was absolutely breathtaking, and we were treated to one of the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen. The horses were well-trained, calm, and clearly very well cared for, which made us feel comfortable and safe.
This was such a unique and unforgettable experience, combining Cappadocia’s stunning landscapes with the joy of horseback riding. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip!

Great experience. One guide in front and one guide in back. Both were very attentive. Experience was relaxing and well paced. Felt safe.

The providers severely lacked professional judgment. It was starting to rain with thick rain clouds in the sky and the suppliers continued with mounting us on horses and taking us down a route. Then the rain got heavier until it was so heavy we couldn’t ride anymore.
We were forced to disembark in muddy path to walk back in the heavy rain and promptly taken back to the hotel. I would have been less mad if they used their professional judgment and didn’t take us out in the first place.
Ended up trekking through mud. Should have booked with a more reputable provider. The driver who picked us up in the first place was also incredibly unprofessional. Ten minutes late to pickup even after telling us to be on time and constantly on the phone as he seemed to struggle to find the second set of customers.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. However, unfortunately, we do not accept your claims. Despite the heavy holiday traffic, we picked you up on time, and we all witnessed the weather conditions together. We had already informed you in advance that if the weather became too severe, we might need to return early to ensure everyone’s safety.
As you also saw, the weather suddenly worsened dramatically and hail started to fall. It was not possible to continue the tour without putting anyone at risk. For this reason, we safely returned you to your hotel with a private vehicle.
We also offered you the option to reschedule the tour for the next day at no additional cost, but we did not receive any response from you. Today, you requested a refund, but before we had the chance to reply to your email, you posted this review.
We are truly sorry for the weather conditions. However, our horses, transportation, and team are highly safe and professional. Unfortunately, weather conditions are beyond our control, and we would never want our tours to be interrupted either.
We can proceed with a refund if you prefer, and once again, we would be happy to welcome you on the tour free of charge at another time.
Thank you.

We had a fantastic horse riding experience in Cappadocia and would highly recommend it.
Everything was very easy from the start, with a convenient pickup directly from our hotel. It ended up being just my wife and me on the ride, which made the experience feel really personal and relaxed.
Our guide, Ziya, was super friendly and great with the horses. My wife was a bit scared of them at first, but he was very patient and led the horses carefully the whole time, which helped her feel comfortable and enjoy the ride.
Overall a wonderful experience and a great way to see Cappadocia!

Highly recommend! The horses were very well behaved and well trained, and the guides were so helpful! A great way to see parts of Cappadocia you would otherwise never get to!
Sandra_H, Oct 2025
Horse riding through the red and rose valleys. We were picked up by the team, given tea and biscuits and shown how to ride the horses. The horses were easy to ride as we were all beginners. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. A great way to see these valleys.

What an unforgettable experience, if you love horses and sunsets you need to book this now. The team was extremely professional and kind to us. The sunset was the star at the end and the background was out of this world. I could not say one negative thing. They took amazing photos of us and made sure we were safe at all times. The horses are well trained and well cared for. They only do 2 rides in the day which is important to me as an animal lover. There are some parts that are steep and at least 20 minutes of the ride are inclined with you having to go uphill and downhill.
The crew is amazing and deserve a nice tip because they go above and beyond. I purchased some honey at the peak of the mountain and they tied it to my horse so when I left I forgot it and they helped me coordinate a taxi to bring it to my hotel way after we had left. Overall such an amazing memory!

The staff was very helpful and friendly.
It was my first time riding a horse and I enjoyed it from start to finish.
It is the best experience as well as the balloon tour.

We had a private tour with just two of us, since we both had a lot of riding experience the guide let us canter up the mountain which was amazing. Breathtaking views. Horses all very well cared for.

A well managed trip with good horses. Riding up and down the hills of rose valley at sunset was a beautiful experience and definitely worth doing. My husband and daughter are non-riders, but they were treated with care and made to feel safe. Communication was a little unclear - which may be due to the viator business interface. Our booking confirmation from viator said 4pm collection, but despite trying to contact the operator to confirm this earlier in the day, I had no messages until we were advised at 4.15 that pick up would be 5.15. So a bit of unnecessary waiting around that could have been avoided with clearer instructions. All in all a good trip though, and we felt safe throughout.

This was hands down the best thing we did in Cappadocia! The guides were all amazing and the tour was stunning. At the top of the trail we stopped and had fresh orange and lemon juice. 10/10

I’m telling everyone to book this experience! It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity - from the people to the horses to the views, it was all incredible!
Amy_B, Apr 2025
The horseback riding experience was great, even though it was my first time. I signed up for it because I’m quite obsessed with horses. It’s incredibly affordable compared to the US.
The only downside was that the two-hour ride felt incredibly long. I suggests that there should be another options for 30-45 minutes of horseback riding. I was so tired because I had just arrived at the airport after a long 14-hour flight. I started to feel restless, my glutes started to hurt and I was so sore the next day. I was so tempted to stop and not take the two-hour ride, but the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made me decide to go through with it.
Jingqi_J, Apr 2025
Definitely worth it! Enjoyed every steps. The view was gorgeous and our guide was checking on us the whole time. They used our phone to take group pictures for us and those were great photos. I recommended to my friends who are coming in May.
Hugh_C, Mar 2025
Great trip and would definitely recommend as a must do! Well organised, great and friendly hosts and stunning views. Felt incredibly safe going as a first time horse rider - you’re in good hands!

Great for families with young kids. The staff are really friendly and it’s great to see that the horses are well cared for

I had a fantastic time, I would highly recommend this to anyone staying around Göreme, the experience of riding through this beautiful area on horseback is really something that can't be missed.
Kasey_W, Jan 2025
Great value for a fun, easy horseback ride through Rose Valley. Beautiful views and a nice stop halfway for a beer/juice and valley views.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an amazing tour! From the very beginning, everything was seamless—the pickup and drop-off at our hotel made it so convenient. We started our adventure with the balloon takeoff and then headed through the stunning Göreme National Park.
The tour began just across the road, and we made our way through Rose Valley before reaching the park. I loved that it was a small group, which allowed for a more personal experience. Our guide was fantastic and took excellent care of us throughout the day.
We even stopped at a breathtaking viewpoint on top of the national park, where we had a wonderful time soaking in the scenery. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the area! 🌍🎈

From start to finish, everything went very smoothly with the 2 hour sunset horseback riding experience. They contacted me midmorning to let me know what time they would pick me up and also promptly answered a few questions. Excellent communication.
Exploring the amazing landscape, and going through four valleys on horseback was magical. The horses were gentle, well cared for, and well behaved which made the ride even more enjoyable.
The guide was professional and so friendly, taking many photos and videos for the group. He also kept a close eye on the two people in the group who had never ridden a horse ensuring they felt safe.
It was a wonderful experience! I highly recommend this tour.
Danita_H, Dec 2024
Very interesting and unique experience. They provide many colorful beads and glass so there are a lot of variations you can do. Highly recommend!
Natchanon_P, Nov 2024
Staff was very nice and friendly. The group wasnt too big which made it very enjoyable! Recomend!!!!
Wendy_S, Nov 2024
Our first time on a horse and a wonderful experience which saw us trekking up and down hills taking in the amazing sights of the Goreme valley. Beautiful horses and safe to ride and love to do it again.
Angela_L, Nov 2024
We had the best time on this adventure. Sunset horse riding in the Rose Valley was peaceful and the views were amazing. The guides were very attentive - They took pictures/videos for us and were so attentive. Make sure to go into the cave just past the refreshment station…there’s a beautiful fresco inside! Don’t hesitate to choose this company. We would do it again in a heartbeat.
