Horse riding experience - Riding around the valley on horseback was a valuable experience and was very good. I was the only tourgoer, but he was very kind to guide us. I was very satisfied in two hours.

Best horse ride in Cappadocia - Such an amazing experience! The horses were well taken care of and the staff were very kind and professional. They took beautiful photos of us during the ride, which made it even more special. After the ride, they even served us Turkish tea, which was such a lovely touch. I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting Turkey!

Highly recommend - Highly recommend. Views of Cappadocia are fantastic! Everything was perfectly organized including transfer. Also, I was the only person, the operator did not cancel the tour. Horses are calm. My horse name Roxy. The journey was safe, as the operator provides helmets. My only regret is that I did not bring apples or carrots for Roxy...

Horses at sunset - Great way to see the inside of a such beautiful geological site! The only thing I would do differently is smaller groups. Sunset was beautiful and the areas you get to see some of the best of Cappadocia.

Horseback riding from Goreme horse ranch through Sword Valley - We booked 2 hours 2pm ride. On the morning, the tour operator messaged if we would like to do earlier at 11am as the weather is not good in the afternoon. Really appreciate this, as I tried to change on Klook looking at the weather forecast a week ahead but could not reschedule and the only option was to cancel for free and book again at much higher price. We booked a few months in advanced. Thus, just left it and was so grateful they enabled us to do earlier. This ride from Goreme horse farm took us into Sword Valley hiking trail and we not only saw Sword Valley but also the beautiful mountain rocks of Rose Valley which was sooooo beautiful. The horses rode through narrow pathways uphill and downhill, on a single file following the guide. We enjoyed the experience a lot. There were some really lovely friendly dogs on the farm too and we petted them to their wagging tails. Although it is much more expensive than the horse ride from Avanos ranch, it is worth it to see Sword & Rose Valleys, so we didn't need to do those hiking trails and can do others. Highly recommended.
