I booked the horse riding and my wife and I had an excellent experience. It was our first time riding, but everything was well organized and ready when we arrived. Our guide, Eren was fantastic he showed us how to handle the horses properly and ensured our safety along the way. At first, the horses were a bit tricky as they kept trying to eat grass, but by the return trip, everything went smoothly. Eren also took some amazing photos that we’ll treasure. He was polite and very friendly I hope this feedback gets passed on to him. Definitely 5/5.

I highly recommend this sunrise ride. I was informed at the time of booking that the tour could be canceled depending on the weather. The day before, I received all necessary details, including pickup time, my guide's name, and an emergency contact. I was picked up in the morning, and in the car, they asked for details to match me with a suitable horse. The horse was already saddled when we arrived. I was given time to get familiar by leading it around and riding a few warm up laps at the farm. Photos and videos were taken throughout, and the guide shared information about the scenery. I felt safe throughout the tour. At the end, we enjoyed tea in a warm indoor space. The horses were clearly well looked after. I rode a beautiful Arabian horse. You could tell that the instructor genuinely loved his job and didn’t treat it like just another tourist activity.
