    Guides were very helpful from the start to the end of the ride. Driver was on time to pickup from the hotel and return back after the tour which went smoothly. It was worth the money. Spectacular view of the Rose Valley and unforgettable sunset. We enjoyed the stop over at the refreshing stand where fresh juice was available. It was an awesome first time experience. A big thanks to the team of guides who managed the entire ride with well trained horses so efficiently.

    Great guide tour and lovely views around the trip

    Yara_A, Dec 2024
    This horse riding experience is a lovely thing to do while visiting cappdocia. The driver arrived on time to our hotel and our tour guide was very very professional and friendly. One of our family members was super scared and the guide tour helped her though it and was close her all the time. The horses are fine and calm.

    Ride Carefully

    rlamar10109, Aug 2022
    The views were very nice on this trip. Unfortunately the rest of the outfit running these horses made the trip less than ideal. The guides taking out the horses spoke virtually no English. They had children and teenagers shepherding the horses along the trail. One girl was thrown from her horse when the guides tried to bunch some of the horses together, which just spooked them and caused her horse to buck. The horses are smaller in stature but seemed underweight by any standard. When a horse would stop to eat along the trail, the child guiding behind me would throw small stones at it to keep it moving. I took a hit from one of these stones to the back of my neck at one point. No injury but I was surprised that it happened. The guides did not make it feel like a safe and controlled trip. Many of the riders had never ridden a horse before and the semi chaotic nature of the ride did not put them at ease. When we returned to camp, one of the staff was disrespectful to the girl who had fallen and made her quite upset by telling her not to cry about it. If the guides could inspire some more confidence and safety among the horses and riders, it would be a much better trip.

    Einmaliges empfehlenswertes Erlebnis

    Pünktliche Abholung vom Hotel. An der Ranch angekommen, gab es Helme und eine kurze Einweisung. Dann sind wir ins Rose Valley geritten, durch eine Höhle und schmale Pfade nach oben. Oben angekommen gab es eine Kirche und man konnte was zu trinken kaufen. Danach sind wir in den Sonnenuntergang geritten und durch einen Sandsturm zurück ins Tal. Ich hatte keine Reiterfahrung, was aber überhaupt kein Problem war. Man sollte nur nicht zu viel Angst haben. Ahmet war ein toller und sehr aufmerksamer Guide. Vielen Dank
