I had never ridden a horse before, but the horses were calm, gentle, and well-trained, so everything went smoothly. The sunset views were beautiful and made the ride truly special. I highly recommend this company, especially their sunset tours, even if you are a complete beginner!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did the Sunrise Horse Riding tour and it was the highlight and most memorable part of our trip! You get to see the hot air balloons starting to fly from close-up and also enjoy the beautiful sunrise from up the mountain. The ranch had cute dogs and a cute kitten as well. Highly recommend!

We booked very last minute, just 2–3 hours before, and they still managed to arrange our pickup. Great experience, would recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5日間のホテルご飯付きの乗馬ツアーに参加しました。行く前は色々不安もありましたが、メールの対応は迅速ですぐにいつも返信が来ました。ツアーガイドは若くて自分自身の写真を撮るのが大好きでしたが、その分自分の撮って欲しい動画もとってくれました。
非常に誠実なツアー会社でした。乗馬ツアーもカッパドキアにあるあらゆる観光地を回りかつ、山や渓谷も行くことができました。
また、馬に乗って大地を疾走するという自分の夢を叶えてくれました。
乗馬するのは3日間ですが、十分満足できました。ホースライディングカッパドキアの皆さんありがとうございました。

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 我是地图直接搜索的这个马场，没有提前预定骑马，到了之后给店家打了电话，店家人很好，让我们临时定了，价格也很优惠，我们等了差不多一个小时。中间还是有一些曲折，建议大家直接给老板打电话或者直接加WhatsApp预定会更好！
整个旅程也很顺利很开心，好玩下次还骑！谢谢老板啦！

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a private Advanced Tour the evening before, and it turned out to be the best experience we could have hoped for. The horses are exceptionally well trained, and both guides we met were warm and friendly. We were especially impressed by the organization: everything was smooth and so well handled despite the short notice (we texted around 9pm and at 6am the Next morning our ride started). We've ridden with another ranch in the area before, and this one stands out.
Highly recommended!
