Horses were disappointing beautiful views

Shimie_A, Dec 2022

We were not supplied with riding helmets and even after asking for them were given only one (so one of us had no helmet). The horses were not well taken care of (dirty and tangled hair) and one of them had a limp. The trail was not easy for the horses (rocks and muddy)... The views were beautiful and the guide Gekko did his best to give us a pleasant experience.

Great time

Brady_N, Nov 2022

This was an awesome tour. The scenery was so beautiful and seeing it from horseback made it even more special. The guide was really good and the horses were very well trained. I had only moderate horse riding experience, and I think it's good to have at least a bit of experience before undertaking this tour.
