Fantastic weekend with breathtaking scenery and top-notch guidance. I do recommend having ridden a horse 2-3 times before embarking on this magnificent adventure.

Fantastic horseback riding and a cozy evening! The trip was great and perfectly suited to our riding level (although I was glad I wasn't a complete beginner and knew how to steer/stop my horse to participate). Magnificent scenery, excellent organization, and a top-notch guide! Plus, the evening in a lovely guesthouse with a massage and jacuzzi to relax in was wonderful, thank you so much! ☺️
