Wonderful tour for any ability - This was a great experience! As someone who has never ridden a horse before this was very beginner-friendly! The guides are very hands on and match you up with horses based on your riding ability. Despite the rain, we still had a wonderful time and the views of the mountains and Cusco were wonderful.

Excellent - Great experience to get away from the crowds even for beginner riders. By the end of the tour we felt comfortable enough to try some galloping. The staff were friendly and the horses were very well trained.

Horse riding in the countryside near Cusco. - This was a really lovely scenic experience and the guide and owners of the horses supported us all. Many of us had little riding experience, but that was fine if we followed their instructions.

This was the best... - This was the best horseback riding tour our family of 4 has been on. We were picked up promptly from our hotel, and arrived and quickly were mounted on 4 lovely horses that were comfortable and friendly. They seemed well-cared for, and throughout the ride they were easy to ride and seemed happy. The guide provided information about Devil's Balcony, and answered all the questions we had. It was a great tour and way to experience the countryside.

Great way to see the surrounds of Cusco - Really good tour on horseback in the hills above Cusco. The guide was excellent and everything went very smoothly from start to finish. The horses were very good for inexperienced riders.

The trail to get to... - The trail to get to Devil's Balcony was beautiful and took us through Eucalyptus trees and great views of Cusco. Our guide Holger was informative and added interesting detail along the way. All made for a great morning.

Great horse riding tour in the Cusco area - The tour was really well organized from Pick Up through drop off. Horses are healthy and the tour itself was great. The guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to go over a lot. I highly recommend it to anyone.

Horse Back Riding Tour - This was a great experience. A perfect amount of riding time and time to see Incan ruins and sacred places. Our tour guide was great and spoke great English. I definitely recommend. Also if you’re advanced, you’re allowed to gallop your horses which was so fun.

A decent trip filler - It was a fine trip. Easy, convenient and friendly pick up. Guide and ride were fine. What we expected - nothing more nothing less. It was very nice to be outside the city and see some ruins and have some pretty mountain vistas. Good add to the trip if you’ve done the more impressive highlights already. A decent filler.
