Great day with Beth! - Really great tour with Beth! She’s an American who is filled with great info about San Miguel, aside from being a great guide. We felt like we got a truly authentic experience on real trails (her partners are local cowboys) for 6 miles! The horses were well cared for and healthy. The tour was followed by a delicious lunch and a few hours at a local hot spring (which was very hot!). Highly recommend this tour!

Best Horseback Riding experience in San Miguel - Beth and her cowboys were amazing. My wife and I had a great experience. We were picked up at the Rosewood and 2.5 hr ride through the beautiful desert of Mexico. Then a wonderful lunch and off to the hot springs. The combo option was great for us. We highly recommend this adventure.

Wonderful day of Horses & Hot Springs! - Beth is a wonderful guide. The day started with a pickup at our hotel and private van ride 30 minutes out of town to a small ranch. My wife and 7/9 year old boys have just a little riding experience, and we were pleased that each boy got their own Cowboy to guide them along! The ride itself was 2.5 hours through the countryside, with nice views of the valley. After the ride, we had a lovely lunch at the ranch, which everyone enjoyed. The 2nd part of the day is VERY different, as Beth gives you the choice of 3 different Hot Springs locations. We went with her favorite, which was a large facility with many different baths/pools/locations and a pretty much 100% Mexican crowd. Ended up being the perfect way to sooth those sore muscles after the ride.

Incredible day trip - Book this tour! It was one of the highlights of our two week vacation across Mexico. Beth is an absolute joy who truly loves her job and living in San Miguel. The horseback trail had incredible scenery (especially the canyon in the second half) and was perfectly fine for beginners. Lunch at the small ranch was delicious home style cooking and had lots of vegetarian (and dairy free) options. The hot springs were more like public pools than natural springs but still unique and really enjoyable, and you can order beer and cocktails. Overall communication was excellent, our pick up was prompt and we were kept informed throughout the day of what was planned. Be prepared to tip your horseback guide 200 pesos per person. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a unique and beautiful way to see the countryside!

Ready for an adventure!! - The experience was amazing! From the beginning Beth took care of us. She has a passion for what she does and takes care of the local communities. She was a joy to hang out with, and educated us about the horse riding, the lunch and the hot springs. Also the lunch was authentic Mexican food cooked onsite of the ranch. We are so lucky to have done this on our 25th anniversary, it was truly a blessing and one of the most memorable experiences ever!!

Wonderful time with kids! - Had a fantastic trip. Beth communicated very well and was incredibly kind and helpful. We went with a family of 6 (grandparents, mom/dad, along with 5 and 8 year old girls. We opted for an easier/gentler route and felt very secure / safe the whole way through. We then went to La Gruta for a relaxing spa day.

Riding and relaxing- all in one day! - This was the best combo- after a nice ride on a ranch outside of the town you could relax in the hot springs and recharge. We loved the opportunity to see San Miguel in a different way and get outside of the city. The riding and hot springs were a great addition to our vacation! And Beth was a wonderful guide. Thank you again!!!

Beautiful experience - Beautiful experience riding on a quite challenging trail but horses and guides are amazing - wonderful views and opportunity to see canyons and lots of nature. The highlight is authentic made from scratch lunch at the farm and then if you are sore- amazing soaking experience in mineral bath. I highly recommend this experience to those who want to experience beautiful animals and get out of the city for a day. Very friendly and knowledgable owner.
