Isa is the GOAT on a horse! - Do you like horses? Do you like the outdoors? Do you like nice and friendly family businesses? Then you have come to the right place!
Our guide Isa was one of the most chill and kind hearted people I have ever met here in Turkey! Our tour was very fun and there was even a photographer who took pictures which you could buy later on (all digital and high resolution). There is just a lot of positive things to tell and I simply recommend to book this trip and have fun :)
Also Eric from the travel agency coordinated everything pretty well!

Sea and horses! - It was a beautiful horseback ride on New Year's Eve! My wife and I spent a wonderful two hours on horseback by the sea and in the woods! The horses are well-travelled and behave calmly and predictably. I recommend to all outdoor enthusiasts!

Dreamlike experience - It was just perfect.
The people were incredibly friendly, you felt right at home.
I was picked up on time and quietly driven to the stable. I was lucky enough that I booked the ride on my own, so I had the opportunity to look at everything at the stables without many people.
I was welcomed in a very friendly way.
Of course, the horses were already saddled up outside, but I assume it's just to save time.
They were not standing in the blazing sun and otherwise looked very good.
On the ride itself, care would be taken to bring out all sorts of things.
The best trails and most beautiful photo locations, all to make it an unforgettable experience.
For me a big highlight...the horses are gait horses.
It's the first time I've been oiled. That was incredible.
The horses are in good hands there.
It is hard to make the perfect keeping possible in the warmer countries, but you can tell how much the animals there are loved and how caring they are.
I would visit this stable again and again.

Please don't waste your money. Activity not as described. - The man who picked us up was nice, he drove us quickly to our activity. When we arrived nobody said anything to us about the plan so we went and sat down. The man who then approached us was very nice, offered us water and Turkish delight. He then said we could go over to the horses and started to introduce us but then another man (our guide) said something to him and that was the end of us being introduced to the horses. We were helped onto the horse but my foot holes were too low. He grabbed my leg to adjust and then when I didn't put my leg where he wanted the man was tutting. We were asked If we were begginers and when we said yes the man tutted and seemed annoyed. We was asked if we wanted to gallop. I said no but that my son did (he never got to do this). We set off across a main road (which is quite scary) no helmets. The forest they talk about in th description is a woods littered with plastic bottles and carrier bags. Then across another busy road and up to the beach. We had photos taken on the beach and we headed straight back. You're on the beach for 5mins. You then head back through the littered woods and over the roads. It was a nice experience to ride a horse for the first time but I feel completely ripped off. The guide told me because we're beginners he didn't get to ride and he's had to work really hard so I better give him a tip. He kept being short with my son too. As soon as we were off the horses he held his hat out and reminded me that I needed to tip him because he didn't get to ride. The photographer is a nice man and the old man who drove us and sorted our photos was really nice. The photos were very overpriced. They wanted 30 euros but it was our last day so I had spent all my money and couldn't buy them for this amount. The activity is nothing like what is described and is not worth the price you pay either. I felt very sad that this happened on our holiday. Everything else about our holiday has been amazing. I didn't feel able to challenge them face to face as I was a lone female with my son and no one else there and didn't have a clue where I was. Very disappointed

Sad holiday experience - It was horrible. Please do not book this horseback riding tour. We (2 young women) felt uncomfortable all the time. The horses are totally thin and weak, they are tethered on a short leash and there was no drinking or food to be seen. The horses seemed sad and anxious. The one horse that had to serve as a photo model collapsed and was then kicked by the tour guide to get it back up. After that we logically no longer felt like taking photos.. The tour guide was extremely rude and disrespectful, had no desire (what he also told me) . Most of the time he was on the phone or doing something else on his cell phone and smoking. He carelessly threw his empty cigarette pack into the woods. I had to point out to him that the rest of the group was very far behind. To a great extent, he told me how pretty I was and asked me about my relationship status and whether we were alone on vacation... it was really an uncomfortable situation. We had such a guilty conscience the whole time that we booked this tour at all. It could have been so nice if the animals were treated better and there was a proper tour guide. The tour also lasted a maximum of one hour, but we were even happy about it, because we just wanted to get away. Please protect the animals and spare yourself such a sad experience. I regret not having read all the reviews before.

Disaster - I'll start when we were picked up from the hotel the car we were picked up with was such a hinged frame as the doors and brakes squeaked. Arriving on the spot we had to wait 15 minutes and were massaged unsolicited. Then at some point the horses came from another tour and had to ride straight on allegedly you should get an introduction and gather affection for the horse that none of it happened. There were 10-15 helmets in the suburbs we didn't get one, the horses were all so thin and I'm sorry for actions I don't have food or drink for those seen. Then we should get on the horse and first had to stand on a plastic chair. Another person was asked if she had riding experience on it she said no and was assigned another horse which I don't understand since there are also no riders to go then every horse would have to be suitable. Then we started over a road where my horse almost tripped over his own legs, once in the “forest” our horses were sometimes led and sometimes not. Then we came to a crossroads the man who worked there told me to ride up long I snapped with my tongue all of a sudden my horse started to ride gallops the man did not notice this although we only three of us also the man had no horse of his own and only ran on the side. The woman who also worked there was just on the phone and was not paying attention at all. When my horse was riding gallops I fell on the ground broke my finger and the horse ran further away I screamed for help and Brrr but nothing happened and nobody did anything! The trip ended for us after 5 minutes on horseback. NOT RECOMMENDED BAD FARM HORSES DO NOT LISTEN TO YOU AND THE OWNERS!
