In Algarve, my wife and I distinguish ourselves by transporting the horses directly to the trail ride’s start point instead of merely going in circles at the stables.

Great experience - Cannot recommend this experience highly enough. From start to finish it was just brilliant. The horses are clearly well loved and cared for. The guys are so friendly. No experience needed they put everyone at ease. And the views are just incredible. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Beautiful, relaxing hack - I hadn't been on a horse for 6 years since a bad fall and this was exactly what I needed. 2 very friendly and knowledgeable guides and 4 beautiful, well cared for and well behaved horses. Hats provided and although the views weren't as spectacular as they could have been, due to a sea mist, this didn't take it away from the experience. If you're looking for anything faster than a walk, then this isn't for you, but if you've never ridden, or just want a relaxing ride with spectacular scenery and photo opportunities, then this is for you 😊

Beautiful experience 😊 - The scenery was beautiful and the horses were amazing. The guides were knowledgeable and very friendly and clearly love the horses very much. I was on my own so they took some photographs for me on the horse.

A lovely ride out with great team and gorgeous horses! - This was the second time my daughter and I rode with these guys (turns out I rode the exact same horse as last year which was lovely!). The guides are so friendly and reassuring and clearly care so much for the horses who are all rescue horses now being looked after brilliantly and only riding out for 2 hours a day 3-4 days a week. The views along the route are stunning and there is plenty of time to stop to take photos at a couple of the view points. You even get to feed your horse a couple of carrots as a reward at the end of the ride! We would highly recommend.

Horseriding in Algarve - A great horseriding tour in Alvor!My almost first time riding a horse and zero knowlege about riding but with GM Equestrian this wasn't a problem.All the staff was very friendly and you could see thar they truly love their animals. An unforgettable experience and I will definitely repeat it the next time in Algarve!P.S. In my opinion this is definitely for beginners (which is my case!)... More advanced riders might prefer a faster ride!
