Relaxing and Rememberable - Mohammed (guide) was very knowledgeable about horses as well as the culture of the area. He was very kind and overall a great time. Jeanette and the gentleman who picked us up were all very hospitable throughout the entire experience. Would definitely recommend this tour for others traveling and looking for an excursion. The black sand beach was AMAZING!

Best morning ever! - Mohammed and the wonderful horses gave us a wonderful experience we’ll never forget! It was one of our favourite experiences even though we are not experienced in riding. Santorini Horse Riding had a stable of smart, gentle horses that are truly loved.

Very friendly and calm horses! - Me and mom had an amazing time! The tour guide was so nice and conversational. Both of us have not ridden a horse and we’re a little bit nervous at first. However the horses were really calm and well behaved! Native Santorinians also care about horses so they tend to slow down in their cars or will stop to say hi to horse riders

Horse Riding Black Sandy Beach, Santorini - Fabulous experience with the family, all novices on our morning trek to the black sandy beach. All staff were lovely, Valentina demonstrated some basics before we left with our guide George for our trek. George was really nice and friendly and told us lots about the island and was brilliant with our horses. So glad we did this trip!

Best Ride! - I had the honor of riding Hercules! He was so huge but so gentle! The ride was a bit long but the scenery was amazing and worth it! The staff were helpful knowledgeable and kind.

Beautiful views! - So amazing! The staff were wonderful - shoutout to Muhammed!!! Easy ride and well paced for a beginner. The beach was wonderful and the staff incredibly helpful. Moonlighting as photographers it seems is their side hustle because they are amazing at it!

Breath taking views on amazing horse - Amazing. Worth every penny. Ahmed is such an incredible tour guide. He is so kind to the horses and so patient with the riders. I loved this tour because I saw so many parts of Santorini that I would have never ventured to with my rental car. I also loved my horse. He was such a sweet boy. Thank you.

Horse riding - I really enjoyed this ride with my guide. She was very benevolent and I liked how she explain to me the differents landscapes. The climax was the ride on this beach valley with the horses, it was wonderfull ! Thank you for this incredible moment.

Well cared for horses, a little too long to reach the beach - The journey to the beach was long, almost an hour, for only 15 minutes on the beach , and again almost an hour for the return. But good experience anyway, the horses were well cared for.

Underwhelming and unsafe - I wrote in my rider information that while I have extensive experience with horses my fiancé is a beginner. He was put on a horse that spooked and spun several times during the tour. Additionally, our read guide had to turn around and go back requiring me to supervise the situation. Eventually, a Vespa came up behind the horse, it spooked and almost spun my fiancé off. He then dismounted and said he was uncomfortable continuing. Since the tear guide had left we had to wait for the rear guide to rejoin us with a lead for my fiancé’s horse. We rode the rest of the way to the beach where we stood and waited for the rear guide to gallop his horse, leaving my finance’s horse not ponied and wiggling around anxiously, while the front guide smoked a cigarette. At no point did we ride on beach. We stood there for 10 minutes and then rode back to the barn. The entire experience was all around not enjoyable between the issues with the horse and not actually riding on the beach or being able to enjoy the view. I understand that horses are not cars and are therefore not entirely predictable but I was very clear that my fiancé was a beginner and the rear guide should never have left us, putting me in the position of being responsible for his safety. His horse was anxious (prancing and spooky) the entire ride. By the time my fiancé dismounted, I dismounted as well, our guide told us he was calling a driver for us. We thought when the rear guide came back that he was coming to take the horses back. When it became clear that was not the case and that going back was not really an option we decided the only way back was to continue. Furthermore, I have 30+ years experience around all types of horses. I have taught for years and broken many horses. Not once has one of my “beginner horses” spooked and spun multiple times in one ride without me promptly addressing the situation. The guide was in no position to handle the situation while ponying the two other riders. When our rear guide went to gallop and left my fiancé unclipped I requested the lead be reattached multiple times as the horse would not stand still and I was ignored. I request a refund after this experience and it was denied
