AMAZING TIME (Read) - My husband and I had a great experience horse back riding for the first time. The instructor was very knowledgeable and she was also very kind too. Something we were worried about since we are tourist was a language barrier but the tourist spoke fluent English which made the experience even better!

Amazing, fun experience - This was an amazing experience. We rode for about 2 hours through the woods to the beach and back. The beach was absolutely beautiful and there was no one there aside from our group - it was so peaceful! My boyfriend and I had never ridden horses before but the guides set us up with really calm slow horses so we were fine. Our driver to and from the beach was also great, he pointed out a bunch of sights along the way like vineyards and cork trees. I would totally do this again next time I’m in Portugal!

Amazing Views and People - This experience was really amazing. They had such a kind hearted gentleman Joao pick us up from our hostel and he also gave us history on some of the monuments in Lisbon. Our guide Lourenco was fantastic as well and he made sure that we were all okay and doing well ok our horses. Overall the experience was 10/10

Horseback family fun - Our family (3 kids) had such a delightful time riding horses! My middle child had never ridden a horse before and he was a little nervous, but our guide was friendly and patient and the horses are very calm and gentle. What a great memory for his first trip to Portugal and first ride on a horse! The drive from Lisbon is a little long, so be sure to bring a book or deck of cards if you have kids, and also pack a lunch or snacks for the ride back.

Unique opportunity - Excellent guide and horse for a novice rider. Beautiful surroundings. Small group was nice. A bit buggy.

Not what we expected. - The car driver was very professional, which was appreciated. The horse back riding guide was also quite good. However, the horseback ride on the beach was brief. To get there it was a long dusty trail and to have such a short ride on the beach was unexpected. We were overcharged for this experience.

Waste of money and time - I would NOT recommend this activity. First of all, after almost a TWO hours drive from the Lisbon downtown, the “ride on the beach” lasts no more than 15 minutes, the other hour is in the middle of a forest without any attraction. In addition to the above, our “guide” was looking at his phone the 99% of the whole ride. To cap it all, our driver made a mistake and instead of picking us up at our address, he was waiting at the same address but on a different location, one hour distance! They changed our ride to a few ours later and we thought “ok, they took responsibility for their mistake”, but when he was about to leave us back in town after the ride, he asked for 100 Euros. As they threatened us with calling the police if we didn’t pay, and since we noticed and you can also read in other reviews that the owner is a violent person, we decided to pay the extra money and just walk away from there. It was a terrible experience, but we are thankful we are safe and this didn’t escalate to something worse. If I could add a comment to the owners of this business, i must say that by the price you charge, you should at least have a minimum decent equestrian equipment. The saddles are not appropiate for the ride and they’re in deplorable conditions.
