Fantastic riding experience - This is a fantastic riding experience. Diana our guide was brilliant. She matched us really well with our horses and got the balance between safety and allowing us to ride just right. The horses are excellent, responsive and safe. I’m a nervous rider after a serious accident a few years ago and this ride reminded me of why I used to enjoy riding. Thoroughly recommend this experience.

Great horseback riding trip along the beach and the ocean. - In the summer season, you can't ride horses onto the beach. During the ride, there was a gallop and time to talk with the guide. You can choose a ride with a city tour. The horses are well-groomed. I highly recommend the trip!

Great sunny riding trip around Viana do Castelo - It was a really great tour in the fields, near to the beach with very beautiful horses and a nice and very friendly riding guide. Me and my friend could really enjoy this summer day together with the horses Emily and Vialto. Many thanks for this amazing experience.

A dream experience - This was a totally magical experience. Claudia knows her horses well and is patient with showing me how to handle mine. We walked, trotted, and galloped through the meadows, on country lanes, roman roads, and the beach with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. I couldn't have asked for more! Highly recommend!

Wonderful adventure - What a wonderful addition to my trip! We rode beautiful Frisian horses on the beach, wandered a bit through the country side. I was confused by the location but the barn is right there! Hidden from the rode, a small driveway and the VianoEquestre sign is on the block fence. Claudia is quite the horsewoman! Very knowledgeable, professional and fun! Thank you! I hope to see you again on another adventure in Portugal!

A ride of my dreams - Our guide, Claudia, made this ride the trip of a lifetime. I genuinely felt like I was in.a dream. The horses are beautiful and well looked after and the ride is even more beautiful! I hope I am fortunate enough to come back and ride again! This is a must do if you are ever able to be here!

Spectacular. - Very pleasant. Spectacular. Claudia who accompanied us was super friendly. Gave an explanation both at horse and local level. It was a nice walk, the weather was favorable too. It is an activity to repeat with friends

Great scenery and enjoyable ride - The guide was extremely friendly and professional. We went through fields as well as beach front, and the guide was even explaining the history of the location!

Waste of time. - This tour was completely incorrect in its description, no transportation to or from the farm. No beach riding for any of the warm months. Was basically I walk on hard surfaces. Very disappointed.
