Not your average trail ride - Yunuen was a gracious, knowledgeable, and generous host for this truly spectacular experience. He was a good communicator leading up to the trip and during as well. We were picked up in Mexico City and driven out to the ranch in the mountains where his family keeps their horses. We drank coffee and had a snacks outside with a nice view of the area. We then practiced riding at his ranch and hit the trail. The horses were well behaved and Yunuen took care to choose appropriate horses for us as individuals with differing riding skills. We rode on a wide trail, so we could be side by side if we wanted. We saw sheep being herded down the trail and passed a few locals along the way. When we returned to the ranch we were served beer and ate a lovely hot lunch prepared right there on the premises. After this, Yunuen and another ranch hand gave a spectacular showing of a Lipizzaner (I believe) stallion dancing with music and all! We could not have asked more of this experience.

Can’t ask for more, would love to go back! - Less than an hour away from the city, we arrived at this beautiful nature calling country side of Mexico’s private horse ranch.
Depends on your experience level, the cowboys will pick a perfect horse to match you. My 70 years old mom had so much fun!! The food was prepared with local flavor, served with wine was a plus. Would definitely recommend this tour. Very relaxing and fun time.

Very beautiful ranch, really cute family, lots of fun - I was nervouse with the horses, but it was still lots of fun. The food was yummy. It was a jourrney of self discovery in a sense. I was lucky to be able to ride the more gentle horse. Have some chronic pain, and the horse knew, even though I 'forget' about it, so she was gentle with me.

A must do - One of my favorite tour experiences ever, this is a must-do. It was so nice to escape the city and ride horses through the beautiful landscape. The ranch is breathtaking and the tour guide was very kind, conversational and friendly. The food that they served was exceptional, and the tables where you eat on the ranch had an incredible view. The horses were very well trained and easy to ride. It was about an hour car ride to get there which is not bad at all, considering you feel like you're in a totally different part of mexico.
I went alone but met friendly locals at the lunch afterward and had great conversation. The wine flowed, the music was on point, and we even got a little show by the horse trainers. I think this is a great trip for groups of friends, solo, or couples.

A wonderful day! - I spent a delightful day with Francisco who was a very friendly, attentive and entertaining host, which I greatly appreciated as a solo female traveler. Everything was terrific from the communication and hospitality to the horse riding and the delicious food, drinks and company. Every detail was taken care of so all I had to do was relax and enjoy the day! 5 stars.

Beautiful escape from the city! - We really had a lot of fun on this excursion. The ranch and area in the mountains where you ride is beautiful. Our family was total beginners and they taught us very well how to control the horses. Horses were basically chill and easy to ride. Yuni and his dad were the hosts and they are very friendly and helpful!
The only slight downside is the provided lunch wasn't first-class. It was still pretty good but I was expecting a little better for the expensive price of the excursion.
This is a great day overall and I highly recommend it!
