Magical evening - We were asked to move the ride from 5 pm to 6 pm, so we sort of missed the sunset, and went to two cantinas and then at the very end of the tour were left at a third cantina/restaurant that had food. When I signed us up I thought we were riding through a park, but the tour we had took us through the center of San Miguel de Allende on the cobblestone roads. One of our members was very unsure about riding and she was put on the most spectacular and steady horse(Capitán) and she had a great time. I was beyond thrilled to ride the beautiful Palomina, Chiquita. My husband road an Appaloosa (Covy [Covid]) and his saddle had a machete attached, so for picture purposes, he was happy. There were four people in our party and two in the other. For the six of us they had a lead guide on a horse, an additional guide in the middle also on a horse, AND a third guide who WALKED behind us to make sure all was okay. That is how slow were were going. So, THREE guides for 6 guests. The horses were very well behaved and seemed to enjoy their route/trek. We rode for almost an hour before the first stope. The first cantina was up on top of the hill and the bartenders were very kind. The second cantina we had actually been to earlier in the week during a tacos and tequila tour. It was nice to have some familiarity. Lastly, they took some pictures of our groups before they left us at a third restaurant that had live music and food. The Guides really took care of us and the horses. I feel like a tour through the town, while a little crowded with cars, —was charming. The city is really beautiful and getting to see it slightly elevated, and slowly was really memorable. Little kids and families would come to the doors of their houses and wave. It was overall a fun experience. The cantinas they picked were authentic and it was great to be left at a restaurant where we had dinner and enjoyed a rock band. Note that for the two hour tours the drinks are not included, so when you stop you order and pay for your drinks.

The best thing we did in San Miguel - I’m so impressed with this company and our experience on the sunset horseback ride. I hadn’t ridden a horse before, but the horses were super gentle and responsive. The cowboys were extremely helpful and kept a close eye on us. I felt safe and comfortable. I was hesitant because of the cost, but it was worth every penny and I can’t wait to do it again.

Cantina tour - Beautiful horses and excellent cowboys we did the cantina tour at sunset. We rode through San Antonio and visited the first cantina for around half an hour. We continued the ride through SAN Juan de Dios and into Insurgentes to the 2nd cantina. Then ended at el Tupinamba. We loved tte experience.

Proposal on horseback - The experience was amazing and unmatched. Daniel was always very attentive to every detail of the process and the result exceeded expectations. Fortunately I was in the best of hands. The very nice horses, the place of the magic sunstet, the very talented Mariachis and the photographer service managed to capture all the magic.

Love the horses but overall underwhelming experience - Underwhelming and overpriced .Riding horses into a busy town during a holiday season was not a great idea. No guides, no history, poor choice of cantinas. Three horses were visibly stressed. The concept is neat yet is poorly executed. The communication with the coordinator is great, very attentive company.

Not a good experience! - The posted photos are misleading if you are taking the ride in San Miguel de Allende! They are predominantly about San Antonio. In San Miguel de Allende you end up on busy streets with cars, buses, and trucks continuously competing for the street with your horse. It is a resolutely urban, not especially relaxing experience... A few things that went wrong: (1) We received from Trip Advisor and from the agency contradictory information on where the ride would start. We arrived at the wrong spot. (2) Within 10 minutes of our departure a fierce storm—a deluge actually—started. While the agency indicated that raincoats would be available in the event of rain, the ponchos our guides gave us let the water through. As no head coverings were provided, we were all completely drenched within minutes. The horses became increasingly anxious and struggled to keep going on the slippery pavement. Our guides were stoic. (3) When it became clear that we would not reach the first cantina for a while and in view of how miserable all of us felt we asked the guides to stop the experience. They were distressed at thought that it takes them three hours to bring the horses back home and that they were to to do so under such heavy rain. Three hours! We felt guilty when thinking of the hardship our guides have to go through to give rides to tourists like us. It did not feel like a fair trade experience otherwise they would probably not have bitterly complained. (4) Of course the agency cannot be held responsible for bad weather. However, when they indicated that rain gear would be provided, we wished it had actually been adequate, for we would have continued despite the heavy rain. (5) As a gesture the agency offered a 20% discount on our next adventure, which we can’t use as we are leaving town and were unimpressed with the organization. I cannot recommend this experience. It did not meet the description nor travelers’ accounts, which seem to have been based on their experience in San Antonio.
