Awesome, amazing, yes - Pictures don’t do this experience justice. If you’re in Split, you’ve got to do this tour. It lasts about two hours and includes a private, guided horseback tour of Split’s beautiful mountains and you can see EVERYTHINHG. It’s truly like experiencing something out of a fantasy book. I can’t recall the spelling of our guide’s name, but it started with an M and she is new I believe. She was absolutely amazing, super knowledgeable about horseback riding and Croatian history. She talked to us and made us feel so comfortable the whole way. After the tour concluded, they served homemade wine, cheese, tomatoes and meat. Absolutely amazing. You can also book private transfer with them that costs about as much as an Uber, but feels more reliable and the taxi driver was SO nice. The drive gets really treacherous so I felt comfortable that our driver was experienced in the village. 10/10 reccomend for anyone coming to Split looking for an adventure

Fabulous trail, beautiful views and lovely horses - We had a great experience! We had a little trouble getting to the ranch in uber as the road was closed and they helped pick us up, so thank you! The ride was so beautiful, felt safe and the horses very well cared for. It was my friends 2nd time on a horse, but she felt safe. Lovely snack after and the views along the trail were stunning Thank you once again for your kindness and a wonderful time

Lovely - Lovely and tranquil ride with some bits of town history amongst it. Horses are clearly well looked after. The wine, cheese and bread at the end were divine!

A wonderful experience - We absolutely loved our ride yesterday - we were lucky enough to go at a quiet time so it was just myself, my husband and the owner (Mateo, we think) The views were incredible and the horses were so well behaved and calm. We both have some riding experience so were offered the chance to 'go faster', the horses got very excited and we had a short gallop up the mountain which added to an already memorable experience 😄 We got back to the ranch to some bread, cheese, meat and wine to enjoy while taking in the views. We didn't feel rushed to leave at any point and even got the meet the other horses. We loved how relaxed and friendly Mateo was, thank you for a great experience 😊

Spectacular scenery, gentle horses, great guide, beautiful ride. - The views from the mountainside were breathtaking as we sauntered along a well-groomed stony trail. The Adriatic Sea was visible for most of the ride. Ancient rock walls along the landscape were fascinating. Our guide was terrific.

Beautiful but disappointing - The activity sells dreams on paper, the setting is idyllic, the view incredible, The staff takes souvenir photos. 45min ride not 2 hours on very stony paths and uncomfortable as possible for the horses. The staff arrives and throws carpets and saddles on the horses, they are very poorly saddled and the saddle does not even rest entirely on the carpet. The mounting of the riders is done without any care. Grooming or checking of the hooves is not carried out either before or after the ride... for experienced riders this behavior is shocking. Few instructions or indications on anything during the walk. In addition payment only in cash which we learn at the last moment. All this for 120€ for 2 people, I'm canceling
