Wow, I'm riding a horse!

We are a family of four, 3 of us had never ridden and I was extremely nervous! But Avenira and Lilly made us very. comfortable and soon I couldn't believe that we were trotting and cantering through incredible landscape! Really amazing experience. Picnic of fruit and nuts and wine included. A genuinely magical day out

Stunning views and trail

Really memorable experience. Avi was a great tour guide who gave us great instructions and confidence while on the horses. Definitely not for the faint hearted. Really fun to trek up into the mountains on the horses.

WOW!

Louise_B, Aug 2021
WOW! First it was a delight to see such happy and well loved and cared for horses. They are free to roam the countryside when not working. They are strong well cared for animals. Really a highlight of over a month in Albania. The area is stunning and Avi and his partner are excellent guides. Thank you

Recommended!

Avenir hat die Reittour super gestaltet und wir hatten eine tolle Stimmung! Vor allem die Musik, die vielen Fotos und Videos haben mir sehr gut gefallen! Aber natürlich auch die Landschaft, das Picknick unterm Baum, die Pferde, verschiedenen Gangarten waren prima! Und: auf Avenir ist Verlass!!! Danke nochmal!
