A very good plan to spend the afternoon with excellent people - Guillermo is a great Guide and a great person. He took us to tour a part of the caulk steppe with a spectacular view and while he taught us a lot of things about the region. The horses are beautiful and very quiet, you do not need to have previous experience riding, it is a nice activity for the whole family.

Great bang for your buck, great service, great solitude. - It was a game time decision, but ultimately a good one! My wife and I were on the last leg of our honeymoon in El Calafate, debating between this and other options, and we ended up finding out that this provided exclusive views of Lake Argentina likely not seen by many. Starting off at a modest property, we worked our way atop a hill, from which we broke off into two groups: one for the shorter 1-hour tour and the other for the 3-hour option. We opted for the 3-hour option, and since there was no one else in our group, we practically had a private horseback riding tour. Needless to say, it was well worth the money. On top of all this, we had an excellent guide in Jorge, who brought us back to a surprise makeshift museum located at the property. Lastly, the giant mountain dog, plus all the other dogs you ride with, just make the trip that much more genuine and enjoyable. If you like horses and are looking for a private ride along, we absolutely recommend it.

Felt like a royal guest - As a horseback guide in the US I can say these guys have absolutely nailed it. The guides on our ride were extremely friendly and welcoming. If you get along well with them they even might let you gallop hah. Gustavo the owner even invited me and my friend to his corral to practice with their lassos. Can't recommend his service enough!

Beautiful view - nice gentle horses - no safety equipment or explaination - My husband and I have been on many horse riding excursions all over the world, but this was the first that had absolutely no safety equipment or explanation so I would not recommend it for first time riders. For experienced (or semi experienced riders) it is totally fine. There were a number of guides that went with the group of say 10 guests and maybe 4 guides so overall I think they were watching okay, but it was just different to what I was used to on horse excursions. The ride and the view was fantastic and the horses for the guests were well behaved and walked slowly along the prescribed path. Overall very much worth the money, but would have liked to have a little commentary on the area or the horses or something along the way.

Beautiful Scenery! - The horses do the leading, your just a passager. The scenery is picture worthy on the 5pm route when I went. If you dress like a Gaucho, it would add a little more flare to the picture:)

Stay away, fool for muggle tourists! - What do you expect from a horse ride? Take a stroll and get to know the place! The problem is that the horses are tired, the guides are rude and don't say anything about the places we were passing through... we were extremely frustrated within this tour... cost x benefit = zero!

Very poor experience - Scenary was nice but that’s all that can be said positively about this activity. Staff was absolutely not showing any enthusiasm nor did they provide any information or guidance. The tour stopped simply once we returned to the starting point; they did not even inform us about how we could get the pictures they had taken from us. Cannot recommend this provider at all. Also pricey for a one hour activity. Ps: no helmets were offered.
