Amazing Time in Zihua! - We booked our airport transfer as well as the Zihuatenejo- Ixtapa private tour and horseback riding excursions through Luis He was very communicative from the very start and very accommodating For the private tour, Francisco was our guide, and he was wonderful and knowledgeable For the horseback riding, Ramon was our guide and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and funny. The horses were very well cared for and so smart. They were gentle too Front Ramon would tell the horses “photo” and the horse says would stand in position side-by-side for the photo op We plan on returning to the area and will be using his services again! Thank you Luis, Paco and Ramon!

Unforgettable Horseback Riding Tour – The Highlight of My Trip - If you’re looking for an adventure that combines breathtaking scenery, well-trained horses, and exceptional service, look no further! This horseback riding tour was, without a doubt, the highlight of my trip. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Ramon, our fantastic tour guide, whose passion and knowledge made the experience truly special. He was incredibly patient, ensuring that both beginners and experienced riders felt comfortable and confident. His storytelling and deep connection to the land made the journey even more meaningful. A huge shoutout to Luis, our driver, who was professional, friendly, and ensured a smooth and safe journey to and from the riding site. His great attitude and attention to detail added to the overall experience. The ride itself was absolutely breathtaking—stunning landscapes, fresh air, and a peaceful connection with nature that made the experience magical. The horses were well cared for and well-trained, making the ride enjoyable and stress-free. I can’t recommend this tour enough! If you have the chance, DO IT! It’s an experience you’ll never forget. Thank you, Ramon and Luis, for making this adventure so memorable!

Great Family Experience - I can't recommend this enough - it was a great experience, and our guide Pablo made it even better! We got to ride the horses around town, down the beach, and back. It was a very pleasant ride and is great for the whole family.

Excellent tour and well worth the money - We were picked up as promised outside of our hotel. The ride from Embarc to Playa Larga was scenic and enjoyable. The horses appeared to be well-treated. They were also docile and easy to manage. Although our young guide spoke little English, he was charming and helpful (carried a phone to translate when necessary). The beach is beautiful and we rode up to a salt water lagoon where a crocodile decided to make an appearance. For some reason, we did not ride through the coconut plantation - just alongside of it on the beach. Our driver, Pablo, spoke excellent English and was full of interesting facts. We were most interested in his description of local herbal medicines made from the local plants. He stopped and picked a couple of guava for us to sample and recommended a tamarind margarita which my husband tried at a restaurant that evening and loved.

Not really what you think - The description of the experience was misleading and we were not 100% satisfied. Items were stated and not delivered as promised

Animal Cruelty - DO NOT GO! Animal cruelty. Malnutrition. Horses had no water. Drinking well was empty and filled with bugs and bacteria. We left in tears.
