Highly Recommended! - It was a great experience and well worth it. The service is top notch and you could really ride the horses for 2 hours. You could ride freely on the beach and in the forest and just enjoy it. Horses are well cared for. Of course you can't look with the standard German eye. But overall it's worth it for riders who can already ride. An unforgettable experience. During the tour several pictures are taken that you can buy afterwards. The quality is also really good and so the moments will stay in your memory forever.

Good performance - Very good performance. The only problem is that when I returned to the scene there was an argument between two people and it was very uncomfortable.

Nice experience - We booked 2 hours horse ride (one hour on the beach and one hour in the forest) in city in Turkey called Side. Unfortunately we got something different. The pick up from the hotel was good but the driver, instead of taking us to Side, he took us to a rural area 20km away. We enjoyed 1h15 min ride around the stables. There was no beach nor forest ride. The overall experience was good but we did not get what we paid for. The staff was very nice and polite. They told us that the city does not allow the beach rides anymore because the tourists complain. Still, in my opinion, this should have been advertised. We did enjoy beautiful horses. There is also an aquapark nearby. Despite that we were taken back to the hotel straight away, the staff told us that we can come back next time to enjoy the swimming there. It was a bit far for us, and of course our hotel had a pool and sea, so this option would be good for someone who booked a hotel without the pool.

I do not recommend - I bought a 2-hour horse tour, but 1 hour of it was spent loving horses. The guides do not speak English and are very young. They're probably underage. The horses are neglected and very weak. Horses are very vicious. I Definitely Do Not Recommend

AVOID - I’m sorry to tell you but our horse riding trip was awful. The man who picked us up was very rude from the start. We explained that my husband had never ridden before and was nervous and his reply was that’s your problem not mine. We had to stand on a plastic chair to get on &off the horse, there was no training, no helmets as advertised on the site. The walk through lovely scenery was in fact more like a walk through a rubbish tip. We never got to the beach as we decided to finish early. We expected to ride our horses alone by following our guide on their horse, but mine was lead by a young girl who couldn’t speak any English and was on her phone the whole time, while my husbands horse just followed behind, and she had to keep stopping to get my husband horse to follow. We got back and was told by the man to hurry up on the bus as he had to pick someone else up at 6.00pm! All in all I felt totally disappointed and robbed as I paid nearly£60 for this trip that was nothing like the one that was advertised

AVOID - Please do not book this tour it is a con and the horses are not looked after. We booked the afternoon ride and arrived to find the horses already saddled and tied up in partial shade in the hot afternoon sun with no water; hopefully they hadn’t been left there since the morning ride, but I suspect they had. They were all undernourished, with their ribs and hip bones sticking out. When the rest of our group arrived we were asked if we had ridden before then helped to mount our horses. Our instructions as first time riders consisted of someone tugging the reins to the right, left and back, whilst saying “Right, left, stop”, we then set off. When my horse started acting up and I shouted to one of the men to help, I was told rudely “You ride!” After about 20 minutes riding through the woods we reached the beach, where after after only 5 minutes, our horses were pulled to face away from the sea for a “photo opportunity”. We then immediately started back through the forest; so no hour riding on the beach as promised. When we got back we were helped to dismount and told to sit and wait. Our horses were left saddled and again had no access to water. We then each took our turn to go into a hut to be sold photos; obviously the main object of the trip. This tour is absolutely awful and the horses are not well cared for. Please don’t book it and allow these people to continue.

Very upsetting - The horses were under weight none of the hoses were suitable to be carrying me at 96kg. We got to the beach and got off and walked the horses back because we felt so bad for the horses.we left feeling extremely distressed the horses were not watered of fed before being taken out with a new group my partner has horses at home and was crying due to their living conditions. Weight limits need to be put in place. I was a first time rider and the only instruction I was given was left right and stop we would not recommend this excursion
