Very nice tour - A very nice and varied tour also suitable for beginners. I was there with my children 6 and 9 years. The condition of the horses was fine. Nikolas is very good with his horses. They are not tied down and have gentle teeth in their mouths. I particularly liked the fact that he explains exactly how his horses are steered and that you do not travel on both reins to stop them. A very nice trip and we will come back here.

Horse riding - the experience was amazing. Nico was the best host, very lovely and chatty, giving us lots of information before we started the ride. And the route was lovely with many viewpoints. Well worth what we paid. An experience we won’t forget.

Beautiful riding experience - We were just a small group of three participants. The ride with the horses was nice. As a family man, I had no riding experience, but the horse obeyed well at all times. My youngest daughter (9 years old) has also never ridden and was led by Nico with a rope on her horse. All in all a great experience.

Be careful! Biting horses! - I can only advise. There was a brief warning that the horse would bite if it was not allowed to eat where it wanted. Nevertheless, the reins were pressed into my hand and I could not react so quickly until the horse bit me on the thigh. I've never experienced anything like this in all my time as a rider. The stable owner Nikos really only reacted annoyed. My son was then quite afraid to hold his horse at all. And that, too, just seemed to annoy Nikos and by no means stop him from his standard program. The tour itself ended up going through the streets of the village and was accordingly absolutely not an interesting scenic experience. I can only guess!

Rubbish - The worst experience ever. The host of the company got to the hotel and was really rude. Sent my gf back to my hotel room as she not dressed correctly for the horse ride but no dress code requirement was presented prior on the website. Got to the horse ride place and the host did not give clear instructions to how the tour of the horse ride was gonna go but instead was quiet and went to each and every horses in their stable and horse groomed them for like 15 mins which didn’t make any sense. Why didn’t he do it before getting everyone on tour. He then got a horse as a presentation and said to me you should control this horse like you control your women which was really disrespectful to me and my girlfriend. We had to leave in the end because he wasnt explaining how the tour it was gonna go from start to finish when we got there and he also made a rude comment about my partner which was unnecessary.
