Great trip with very knowledgeable and helpful guide - We booked this based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint. Benny was our guide. She knew and explained the ruins well. My husband was unwell due to altitude sickness and she was very considerate to his needs. Oxygen was available. The horse riding was very enjoyable

Unbelievable Experience - Benny was great, the riding was unreal and the information I got at all locations was unbelievable. The wealth of knowledge and graciousness of our guides was perfect. The horseback riding was great for me an experienced rider ( even got to open the horses up a bit and ride faster) and my gf this was her second time felt safe secure and well taken care of. I highly recommend you book this tour !

Pure Fun - Riding the horse high in the mountains was fabulous. The views were so beautiful; I almost cried. I felt safe and well taken care of at all times. The ancient ruins were incredible. The tour guide was informative.

Cusco essential - What an awesome day out! About an hour horseback riding (my first time!) and then seeing four different parks (70 soles fee for this). Not normally a fan of tours but my guide was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great experience mixed with culture especially for family with teens - We were picked up at the hotel in time and saw the first two sights that were about 20min away. Very knowledgeable and great guide who spoke fluent English. We then went to the ranch to get 4 horses and ride with guide and muleteer through some rather unique landscape to see some more in a ruins. The horse ride was about 1.5h. They matched the horses according to experience and confidence and there was a beautiful horse for everyone. On our way back we stopped at the last and biggest site which was truly breathtaking. Great tour especially with teens as it mixes cultur with activity very nicely. We then were dropped back at the hotel. X

Best in Cusco - We had the best experience! The horseback riding was by far the best part. Felt like we were in a movie with all of the gorgeous scenery. The archeological sites were great and our guide knew sooo much information! 10/10 recommend.

WORTH EVERY PENNY - My friends and I had such a blast during our first ride that we ended up doing a second ride. Our tour guide’s name was Holger, and he is extremely nice and knowledgeable. We loved him! My friends are inexperienced riders, but they were very comfortable on the horses. As an experienced rider, it was a little annoying that the horses wouldn’t allow me to grasp a little bit more control (they have very choppy trots) to get them to collect themselves. Eventually, I dropped the reins and allowed myself to enjoy the views and let the horse do the work. The horses are very well trained and know the courses by heart so that it is impossible to lose your group. 10/10 and is a Cusco must-do

4/5 - A little bit expensive compared to the other tours that are similar. They should include the cost of the tourist ticket in the tour price. We also didn’t get any snacks as the description stated. The horseback riding is only for about an hour- I thought it would be for majority of the tour. That being said our guide was informative and we did have a good time.
