“I have taken a couple horse horseback riding lessons and have some prior experience riding so I am familiar with horses. They were late picking us up from our hotel and didn't explain or introduce themselves to us which I felt was rude. They kept the horses extremely close to one another which is dangerous as the horses can kick one another if they feel scared.

“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.
