Great excursion! - The site seeing tour is more of a shopping tour. But the products were high quality. I would have preferred less time sightseeing as people wanted to shop and it took long. Our guide Alexander and the driver were very knowledgeable and accommodating. The horseback riding was quite the experience. We told Pedro we wanted to go in the water. He accommodated all our requests and took pictures and video of us. An awesome experience and so glad we went with this tour. You will get wet/muddy horseback riding, but worth it. Thank you for creating a memorable experience for us.

Horse riding experience - The service is outstanding, and a lot if heart is put into the activities. Car rides were on time and we were well taken care of. The horse ride was lovely…and it lasted most of the afternoon! Thanks for a spectacular day all of you who took such great care of us!

DR Horse back riding and city tour - It was a very long walk outside of the Amber Cove gated area to meet up with the driver. No one inside of Amber Cove could help direct us. The tour (taxi) driver was very attentive and helpful although did not speak English well. He took us to the Rum Tour, then downtown to his specific jewelry and the Amber museum. The horse ride was last. We were the only two on the tour. The horse guides were very helpful and we had one in front and back and they took pictures and videos for us. The beach area was VERY dirty with lots of trash and debris and bugs. Our horses only went in the water to cross the river which flowed into the ocean. We were ready to come back to the stables to give our skinny horses a break and hopefully some more food. I suspect there is very little regulation in DR for stables.

Very disappointing - This advertisement was very misleading. We rode horses that were very dirty and unkept through a very poor village. We rode onto a dirty beach for a few minutes and took a photo. Nothing like what was shown in the advertisement photo. Very disappointing and overpriced.

This was the worst tour I... - This was the worst tour I have ever taken. We were not picked up at the cruise port and had to walk 15 minutes to the highway. There was very little that you would call a city tour. We stopped at the rum factory which was okay and then a c hocolate shop where we got a few samples and then we wwre asked to buy stuff. Once we reach the horses everyone was very nice but tried to put on multiple helmets that did not fit saying that they did fit. The horses looked like typical rental horses. The stirrups were not adjusted and request to change were ignored. We did ride the horses along the beach and through some muddy water. They did take our picture using our phones which was nice. The best thing I can say about this tour is that people were friendly and we did ride along a beacj.

Sad, horrible excursion. Please do not book this excursion. - Do not book this excursion and maybe the horses will have a chance at a better life. Horrible experience! The horses were dirty, skinny and unkempt. We were taken through a small neglected neighborhood as the horses tiredly plodded through the street in a circle to end a few minutes from where we started at a coastline littered with garbage. We were promptly lined up (4 of us) with the water behind us, a picture was taken and then we were returned to where we started. There was no Beach ride at all. Then we had to sit there and wait for our guide to return. The sightseeing was okay but not much to see actually. Worst excursion ever. Shameful.
