The ride was so beautiful and so relaxing The girls that led our ride were so sweet and did a great job!
Had a wonderful experience riding through Kilkenny National Park with Amy and Sarah, two fun and friendly guides. A beautiful day with gorgeous scenery.
Not only were the sights to see absolutely stunning but our guides and horses were friendly and knowledgeable.
We enjoyed this two hour tour so much this was our second time! The horses are extremely well behaved. Guides are very friendly. And the scenery/views… breathtaking. 10/10 would recommend!!!
Park was beautiful, guides and horses were excellent. Horse riding isn't for me, but my wife is really big on it and she and her horse riding friends had a great time.
My mom and I had the absolute best time. Our guides were lovely, the horses were quite calm and perfect beginners, and the views were stunning the whole time. I would absolutely recommend booking this experience!
Would had given 5 but we really wanted to hear more information about the areas we were seeing during the ride.
As a person who has never ridden a horse, Aidan (our tour guide) was extremely patient snd kind. We had a wonderful time and will remember this experience as a highlight of our Ireland trip. Also, be prepared for the rain!
Had a lovely time! Red deer and sika deer plentiful and the cool morning really showed the Irish beauty of the park. Jade, Aiden and the other girl ( apologies forgot your name) did an excellent job handling a large group of 11. I am a a beginner and felt very comfortable on Leo. The horses knew what to do without much guidance at all. Looking forward to returning for another ride.
Really relaxing experience. It didn’t rain on my horse back trip. Personally, I don’t think it would have been as fun if it rained but enjoyed the scenery, the quiet and the horses. Definitely recommend if you enjoy horseback riding and beautiful scenery. I am Also a beginner (have only ridden horses 5x) and it was very easy to do. No issues if you are a beginner.
