Best Tour I’ve Ever Been On!

I’ve traveled quite a bit. This is absolutely the best tour I’ve ever been on. Holger and his family are so kind. He is so knowledgeable. I learned so much and he could answer all of my niche questions!! My horse was so sweet, as well. I had minimal experience. Absolutely 100% do this tour. It’s an amazing way to start your trip in Cusco because it’s not at high elevation, so it gives you extra time to acclimate. Thanks, Holger and family!

Horse ride through beautiful area

Beautiful scenic ride on well trained horses to see less visited ruins outside of Sacsayhumuan. You do not enter the park but are on beautiful national park lands. Great knowledgeable guide made it very interesting and enjoyable for all of us.

Wonderful horses and nature around

This horse ride experience was one of my highlights in Peru. It also felt as a private tour since it was just me and another rider (and the two tour leaders) We rode in nature and we also saw Inca sanctuaries. The horses were looking great, you can tell that they look after those animals very well. Definitely a bucket list activity if you are going to Peru!

Fantastic horseback adventure!

A fantastic experience! I’m not very familiar with horses back at home, but it wasn’t an issue at all because they had a wide variety of horses to accommodate different experience levels. Was a ride that was a mixture of appreciating the beauty of the Andes as well as a lesson as to the culture and background of the surrounding areas. An absolute recommend! 5 stars

An journey to remember

Riding a horse has been a dream of mine for a long time. And I'm so glad I got the chance to fulfill it in this way. The experience is very relaxing, almost meditative. The guides were very informative and helpful all the way. And the scenery along the course is just mindblowingly marvelous! Also it's newbie friendly - even if you are inexperienced, everything will be explained to you in detail, and your horse will keep following the rest of the group. So you don't really have to be a pro rider.

One of the best experiences in Peru

This horseback riding experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Peru. We were a very small group of 2 travelers and it felt personalised (the guide takes the time to fully explain the history and facts of the inca sites we saw) The horses were very well looked after and extremely well behaved. We had the opportunity to trot too which was safe and fun.
