We had a wonderful horseback riding experience that we truly enjoyed. Our guide, Sara, was exceptional from the very beginning and added so much to the overall experience. The horses, Troya and Paloma, were calm, well cared for, and a pleasure to ride.
It was a long and rewarding ride, with a stop along the way to enjoy a spectacular view. Although it rained on and off, we were provided with waterproof covers, and it was never uncomfortable. In fact, the cooler weather and lack of strong sun made the ride even more enjoyable.
During the ride up, Sara gave us a great overview of Medellín, sharing interesting insights about the city and the surrounding region. Beyond being very professional, she is a warm and genuine person with a truly lovely spirit, which made the experience feel personal and special.
I would also like to highlight Andrés from Medellín Day Trips, who was excellent to work with. He checked in with us both before and after the activity to ensure everything met our expectations, demonstrating a high level of care and professionalism.
This activity was the perfect way to start our first day in Medellín. It allowed us to get some exercise, connect with nature, and enjoy local horses in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Amazing personalized experience. Sara was a kind and informative guide who took care of us from hotel pick up to drop off. The horses were wonderful and countryside beautiful. Bring a few pesos for a water and snack if you want!
Amazing experience with Laura. Best tour guide expert. Fluent in english and spanish. She also knows the history of city.
Beautiful horse ride in the mountains, and awesome guatape experience. Laura is the best! We had an amazing day with this booking

Our guide Daniel was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable about the area. Car waa super comfortable. He took photos and videos of us all day. The ride was great and saw beautiful scenery.
You can’t miss this once in a lifetime experience if you travel to Medellin, straight up. I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying several horse tours before, but nothing compared to this. The horses ran free in the rolling hills, truly galloping and making my colleagues and I feel like real life cowboys, ha!
Memories for life.
And what made the day extra special was our guide, Sara. Efficient and clear communication in advance, endless knowledge about Medellín, and honestly a vibe. Pick up from the front door of our hotel, perfect English, friendly, funny.
Money well spent.
It was a great experience. Sebastian really took great care of us and made us feel very comfortable. He went out of his way to take photos of us and was great at speaking both English and Spanish. He is very well educated in the local area and made the experience a 10/10. I highly recommend!
Outstanding experience. Sebastian is a terrific guide and host! Would recommend this to any one traveling w kids.
What an AMAZING experience. They were so much fun, the tour guide provided so much fun historical stuff bout Medellin, and I absolutely loved every second of it. I have to say, this was one of my favorite tours so far, loved loved loved it!
We were in Colombia for a wedding and planned this as a group activity for 11 of us during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Alejandro - he was very knowledgeable and loved sharing his knowledge and love for Colombia, the culture and the people. He was such a genuine nice person and so was the family who owned the horses. They did a great job matching the horses to our skill level and the views were beautiful. We are glad we booked this tour, it was the highlight of our trip. You can tell the horses are very loved. I highly recommend booking this tour!
I booked this trip for myself and 13 year old son to go on together. Sarah was our tour guide and she was super knowledgeable and friendly. She spoke English and Spanish perfectly and impressed us with her French and Italian! The tour was everything I could’ve wanted. The views were breathtaking and the weather was absolutely perfect! My son was excited that we got to go fast on the horses at times and we had a nice break in the middle. This was my favorite tour on our trip so far! I would highly recommend Sarah and the whole company.
Highlight of my trip. Laura is amazing. The horses were very friendly. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
Absolutely amazing excursion. Sarah is a Gem. She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The horses are well mannered and the scenery is absolutely stunning
It was amazing and Andrea was the best tour guide we ever had. The horses were very well behaved and it was a perfect ride. Andres was great. He spoke well very professional and a pleasure to spend the day with. The vehicle was clean and he drove very safely.
We had such an amazing experience with Andres on our horseback riding trip! He paired up everyone with the perfect horse based on their experience and the horses were clearly happy and well taken care of. If you felt comfortable you were able to do a lot of galloping which was a blast!
Our recent horseback riding excursion in Medellin, led by the knowledgeable guide Andres, was a serene and enjoyable experience. The tour provided a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, catering to riders of all skill levels.
One of the highlights of the tour was its inclusivity. Whether you were a beginner or an experienced rider, Andres ensured that everyone felt comfortable and safe throughout the journey. His expertise and patience were evident as he guided us through the diverse terrain, allowing us to appreciate Colombia's natural beauty at our own pace.
The scenic vistas we encountered were truly breathtaking, showcasing the lush landscapes and rolling hillsides of Medellin. A mid-ride stop at a Fonda provided a picturesque break, allowing us to unwind and enjoy refreshing drinks amidst the tranquil surroundings.
Throughout the excursion, Andres proved to be an excellent guide, combining professionalism with genuine warmth and hospitality. His passion for horseback riding and his intimate knowledge of the region added depth to our experience, making it both informative and enjoyable.
It's an adventure that's sure to leave a lasting impression. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst Medellin's nearby natural wonders.
Sara is an amazing guide. We had a wonderful experience and the horses are treated well. The views are beautiful and this is a great idea for couples or a group
The horses are so sweet and very responsive. The views were beautiful. But there’s a lot of hills up and down which was a lot of fun if you enjoy a little bit more of a challenging ride.
Laura was a very friendly and easygoing tour guide. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel via private car. I have advanced horse riding experience and my husband had very minimal experience, and we both felt comfortable and extremely happy with our tour. We were asked our experience level in advance to pair us up accordingly to a horse. I was happy that I would run and my husband was happy that he could safely enjoy a unique tour while gaining a love for horseback riding. This ended up being a private tour with just us, which was lovely (apparently only 2-3 people per tour is typical for ease & safety). We walked, trotted, and loped/cantered, all while enjoying the Columbian countryside!
Very kind and knowledgeable guide. Priceless. The next time in Medellin, for sure I will make use of this horse riding tour.
Loved it they were great and customer service was great, we got to take very good pictures and the horses was very well trained thanks for the tour I recommend for anyone The trail and views are everything in the mountains
Daniel was very nice and the trails had gorgeous views. My horse was very well trained and responded easily. I was so happy to be able to actually trot and cantor and not walk in a line. Would highly recommend.
We had a fantastic experience! Our guide Daniel picked us up and drove us to the countryside. We were met with our other guide Oscar who got us acquainted with our horses. Both guides made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The horses were calm and well taken care of. The views and calm of the countryside were lovely. We stopped along our ride for freshly made empanadas and chorizo and refreshments. We rode for a total of about 1.5 hrs. We have 2 small children (6&9) and this was their favorite activity. The kids had never ridden horses before and this was the perfect first experience.
Amazing experience, Daniel was a great guide, would highly recommend! Scenic views and well trained horses.
Such a Wonderful experience! They offer pickup and drop off to your hotel, which is super convenient. The tour guide was amazing, the views were amazing, and the horses were sweethearts! It genuinely checks all the boxes. This tour is perfect for people experienced at riding or even those who have never ridden a horse before in their life. Do it! You won’t regret it!
I had a great ride! They provided good horses and were very professional. The area was beautiful and unique.
Amazing views while you are riding, so peaceful! Our tour guide was very patient and made sure we were comfortable. Stopped for a drink and to rest before heading back. Nice horses, very obidient.
Andres and Diego were excellent hosts. From the moment we booked our trip to the moment we got back to our hotel the communication was always superb. My daughter loved the experience. We have had many horseback tours in the past but this was by far the best. The horses are in perfect shape and you can tell that they are well maintained. Diego was an excellent host and always very attentive to details. I highly recommend it.
A beautiful tour with amazing views of the land. The guides were very patient and knowledgeable. Great service provided from pick up to drop off. You will not be disappointed!
Very fun experience, the tour guides were very knowledgeable. On the ride to the barn they took the time to explain the history of Medellin. And the horses looked very well kept and well behaved I would love to do this in the future and recommend it to a friends
