Lovely tour, Barbie was great! - Great experience, Barbie (I think his name was) was really lovely and you could tell her cared about his horses. I booked this tour in a hurry, and I thought this tour included the beach but it doesn’t. Instead you get to have an increase cliff side view and photos!

Wow! - What a great time! My husband and I absolutely loved this experience and thought it was magical. The horses are extremely well trained and it is comforting for a beginner rider. Great host who told us about the areas we were in as well. Thank you!

Horse riding - The horses and views were beautiful. However we paid for a sunset experience and they changed our time to 5pm. We were in peak sun with no shade along the way and our experience was over by 6:30. Two hours before sunset. The horses were led by a man with a rope so we didn’t get to ride independently at all which would have also been nice.

Did not get what we paid for - The horses were lovely, and we saw some parts of the island you would not normally see, but that's the only positive I can give. It was nice being back in the saddle but beyond that nothing else was achieved.
The itinerary promised a ride to the black beach, to watch the sunset over the aegean sea and that the guide would handle the horse only if necessary. We never saw the black sea, we were back at the stables about half an hour before sunset and whilst my wife was allowed to ride by herself (very experienced rider) the guide paid no attention to my experience and I was kept on such a short lead I did nothing except sit on horseback. Questions went unanswered and minimal explanation of the area we were riding through was given.

Look into other options - Misrepresentation of this ride. Was advertised as a two hour sunset ride. It was 45 minutes and ended long before sunset. The horses were gentle, the guide was polite but spoke little English. For example, I needed assistance in my mount and dismount because of bad knees and it was difficult to communicate this to him. Most of the ride takes place on the streets getting to a cliff overlook where you stop for a photo op and then return. We do not feel we got what we paid for. Disappointing
