Amazing way to experience Santorini! - The private customized horse riding experience from Santorini Horse Riding was amazing! Our knowledgeable guides expertly traversed the Santorini countryside through vineyards and farms to the edge of caldera, through the beautiful cobblestone streets of Megalochori and its 129 churches, and down through lunar landscape volcanic ravines to the black sand beach! The sights were beautiful and so were the horses. Highly recommended!

Enjoyable experience - Thoroughly enjoyed this although I probably won't be saying that tomorrow lol. 1 and a half hours in the saddle with 2 experienced riders. We got collected and dropped back into town with no fuss at all. The people who run the horse riding are so lovely and speak clear English. We stopped for photos with a lovely back drop.

Amazing Experience- Unbelievable Staff - The experience was absolutely incredible and beyond beautiful. The guide enhanced it tremendously, she was so nice and took all the pictures my wife required. She was amazing and talkative and explained everything we were seeing but when we wanted privacy she was quiet.

Couples horse ride - Our guide Stelina was incredibly knowledgeable of the area we traveled through. She also gave us a wonderful review on riding horses. The horses were all VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. It was a treasure to enjoy a couples ride on such incredible and beautiful horses. This was truly one of our favorite moments while in Santorini.

Very pleasant experience - April is a very good period of the year. The weather was perfect, and there were a lot of flowers around. We arrived to the black beach and back in two quite relaxed 2 hours ride. The entire team is friendly and professional. They treat the horses gently, with love and care. Fits experienced as well as beginners. Easy to get to the location by bus. Megalochori, the village, also deserves a visit before or after the horse riding. There are little cafes and taverns in its center, off the main road.

Great experience - There is many options to choose from. We decided to take our ride by the black sand beach. It was wonderful! The view is amazing! Our tour guide was very experienced and the horses are very well taken care of. The horses are very muscular, their hair is very shiny and beautiful. Our your also included a wine tasting. The wine tasting is done by a different company but in my opinion the wine company was very snobby. The wine tasting place acted as if we were not really their customets since we were there only for a wine tasting and not spending more. I do not recommend adding the wine tasting but everything about the horseriding from our experience, hospitality, the knowledge of the staff and attentiveness deserves more than 5 stars for sure.

Nice for tourists - Great view and surroundings (we went to the beach and through the vinyards) the horses seem energetic and playful but as they mostly carry non-experienced riders, they rather respond to oneanother and want to play during the tour. The tourguide was too focused on taking great pictures than really letting us enjoy the scenery. At a point one of the horses just did not want to pose for the pics and the guide kept on turning him and turning him for 10 minutes eventhough we said it was fine we did not need the pictures. The horses seem mostly healthy, one of them stumbled a lot which when we mentioned it it was played down by the guide. But we do believe they are not doing more than 4 hours by day. All in all, nice for tourists but experienced riders will be bored.

Not suitable for experienced riders - The price for the private tour (black sandy beach) is not worth it. We spent the first 30 minutes walking across fields filled with tons of garbage before finally arriving to the beach (what we signed up for and which was a great viewpoint with a great sunset). I initially booked for a group tour but we were offered to upgrade our tour to a private tour (+150€ for 3 people) to have the opportunity to canter (the most interesting part for us) and have free choice over what we wanted to do. In reality, we had to beg them to canter and we did it only less than a minute on a short part of the beach, blocked by a beach club which they would’ve known since this is the trial they use everyday. The way back was a bit more interesting since we could trot, even if it was on concrete and unfortunately still filled with garbage. I wouldn’t have payed this price if I knew that, I only did so because we were promised a “tailored experience”. This is not an honest practice on their end. Although our level throughout the group was uneven, they assured beforehand that they would be able to let us canter based on our individual experience. But it’s not what happened once there. Despite all this, the guide herself was really nice and tried her best to accommodate us.
