Amazing and canā€™t miss! - The trip is so fantastic! I was picked up directly from my hotel on time, and the tour had six guests total including me. All the horses are so well behaved. They asked about your horseback riding level and pick the horse with the right temperament for you. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and speaks English well. Heā€™s also inca descendent, so he understands inca language and explains inca templeā€™s names and traditions. I must asked so many questions, about the temple and Cuzco just in general, and he answered all of them. We rode for about half an hour, then got off the horse to see the temple of the moon, and went inside to the see the ritual site. Then we rode the horses and climbed up the mountain and through the forest to see another cave area. He told us stories about the cave while we enjoyed the snack that they packed for us. After that, we rode down the mountain and back to the car. It was the best experience in Cuzco and one that you shouldnā€™t miss.

A must do! - 5+++. Arrived in Cusco in the morning and had an afternoon to burn until meeting my group later that evening. Decided to book horseback riding with Gabriel and I couldnā€™t be happier! He was amazing, the whole outing was amazing! Highly recommend for anyone coming to Cusco. Thanks Gabriel!

Fun family trip - Our family of 4 (kids 11 and 14) really enjoyed the half day tour. It was a great mix of history and cultural learning combined with relaxing and enjoying our time on the Peruvian horses.

Absolutely amazing tour, would recommend to anyone travelling to Cusco. - Me and my partner did this tour and it was amazing. We got super lucky and basically got a private tour. Gabriel is a fantastic tour guide who taught us so much history around Cusco and answered all of our slightly dumb foreigner questions. He also went out of his way to take us to a genuine traditional clothes shop after the tour. We speak very little Spanish so Gabriel being able to speak very good English was a nice bonus. This is a fantastic way to see the temple and learn about Cuscos history.

Absolute must do activity! - This experience was an absolute 10/10. Gabriel is a lovely, knowledgeable and kind man who clearly loves Cuzco and loves his horses. He picked us up on time, had our lunch prepared for us. The ranch was wonderful with happy and healthy horses that were largely able to roam around the field. He had extensive knowledge about the history of Cuzco as well as Incan history. He took his time showing us around and recommended a local shopping area where you can buy high quality, locally made textiles and the like. He drove us there and waited while we shopped despite it being over the scheduled time we had. The experience was absolutely amazing! Thankyou Gabriel!!!

Wonderful! - We had the most fantastic time with Gabriel, he was so friendly and accomodating when we had to reschedule due to illness. The tour itself was wonderful. Riding through the mountains and trees was relaxing, and our tour guide did a wonderful job of accomodating for my partner who had never ridden before. The tour when we got to sights was informative and so interesting. We would recommend to all!

That experience - Gabriel arrived at the Hotel Lobby 10 minutes earlier than agreed!!! While driving he told us a little about the history of the city!!! As we arrived at the celebration of the Virgin of Corpus Cristy, the whole city has celebrations!!!! Once in the nature reserve the view is super beautiful!!!! A tour of an archaeological zone (temple of the moon) and from there more horseback riding in the mountains provided us with a light snack that was truly delicious!!! Highly recommended !!!!
