Horseback riding from Goreme horse ranch through Sword Valley - We booked 2 hours 2pm ride. On the morning, the tour operator messaged if we would like to do earlier at 11am as the weather is not good in the afternoon. Really appreciate this, as I tried to change on Klook looking at the weather forecast a week ahead but could not reschedule and the only option was to cancel for free and book again at much higher price. We booked a few months in advanced. Thus, just left it and was so grateful they enabled us to do earlier. This ride from Goreme horse farm took us into Sword Valley hiking trail and we not only saw Sword Valley but also the beautiful mountain rocks of Rose Valley which was sooooo beautiful. The horses rode through narrow pathways uphill and downhill, on a single file following the guide. We enjoyed the experience a lot. There were some really lovely friendly dogs on the farm too and we petted them to their wagging tails. Although it is much more expensive than the horse ride from Avanos ranch, it is worth it to see Sword & Rose Valleys, so we didn't need to do those hiking trails and can do others. Highly recommended.

Awesome experience - Nice arrangement and everything is great. The tour guide is patient and it is easy to follow the instructions and ride the horse by ourselves. Would come again next time!!

Terrific horses, great way to see Goreme Valley - I wanted to ride in Cappadocia, but not on a sad old hack. These horses are much loved family members. They are also incredibly well schooled. I have never ridden a horse who was both bomb proof and responsive. Shiraz is easily the best horse I have had the pleasure to ride. I had a fun 4 hours and loved every minute. Highly recommended.

Horses and happiness - We started the experience off by getting picked up from our hotel. We then arrived at the ranch, and were welcomed and given helmets. The staff then helped us on the horses one by one, asking whether we’d been on a horse before. As we road off onto the trail, the staff kept checking whether we were ok or not. We passed through a few valleys, before reaching the top with a beautiful view. They had a little drink stand and fireplace going, with some photo opportunities available. We then slowly made our way back down. One of the ladies on the trip lost her sunglasses and scarf, and they helped her to try to retrieve or find it. Overall, a wonderful experience with wonderful horses and staff, and beautiful views.
