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.

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!

Horrible experience due to the suppliers lack of judgement.

AnShih_C, Mar 2026

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.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

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.

Magical sunset ride

Nalanys_R, Sep 2025

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!
