Totally disappointed for the first two days because we found out that the trip we had booked wasn't the one we were going to get because the Decathlon Travel website wasn't up to date... (yes, the documents they sent us were up to date after we checked, but since we had already read the entire website and booked accordingly, we didn't check their travel documents and everything was already booked...) And no compensation from them... Be careful!

A very bad experience for this long-awaited trip. The program was completely ignored, meals were insufficient and of poor quality, the horses were in a terrible state, the guide was totally incompetent and awful, the owner couldn't care less, and the riders' skill level was completely disregarded. The trip was far too expensive for what we got; we cut our stay short after only three days! It's a real shame that the local partners aren't vetted before offering a trip for €1075!
