“A well managed trip with good horses. Riding up and down the hills of rose valley at sunset was a beautiful experience and definitely worth doing. My husband and daughter are non-riders, but they were treated with care and made to feel safe. Communication was a little unclear - which may be due to the viator business interface. Our booking confirmation from viator said 4pm collection, but despite trying to contact the operator to confirm this earlier in the day, I had no messages until we were advised at 4.15 that pick up would be 5.15. So a bit of unnecessary waiting around that could have been avoided with clearer…”

“There’s nothing like waking up at the asscrack of dawn, getting transported by a man, who seems to be an rally sport racer, given the whipping of the van through the tight streets of Goreme, to a ranch that smells like horseshit. That’s culture. This was my first time riding a horse or even touching one, and let me tell you, it was way better that I anticipated.
