Avontuur in Cappadocië Paardrijden bij zonsondergang, overdag

“After the payment, the organizer did not respond anymore and also failed to show up. The helpdesk processed the request for a refund.”

I think my tour forgot about me, and after about 10 minutes waiting, I messaged them and they said the driver was on his way. I arrived at the ranch and was on a horse about 30 minutes after my initial pickup time. I was told that it was just me today and I had my own guide. He was a very nice young Afghani guide and he was great. He made me feel comfortable on the horse and even took pics of me using my phone at scenic stops. About 30 minutes in, we crossed paths with another group of riders on horseback and he let me know that was my group. So I probably missed a small portion of my ride as I didn’t get to do the whole ride my group did, but I still had a great time.

The sunset horse riding tour with Adventure in Cappadocia was absolutely magical. The guides were incredible—they were so patient, walking alongside us for a lot of the ride and going out of their way to take some amazing photos for us. It really felt like they genuinely cared about us having a great time. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

This was easily one of the most disturbing and misleading tours we’ve ever booked through Viator. The tour was listed as being with Lucky Luke Horse Ranch, but we were taken to an entirely different place — Golden Horse Ranch Cappadocia. What followed was a poorly run, unsafe, and unprofessional experience. Three people fell off their horses, and these were not minor incidents. One rider was assigned a visibly unstable horse and was bizarrely instructed to keep his leg from touching the horse’s side — an extremely awkward and unsafe riding posture. Unsurprisingly, he fell off, was shaking and distressed, and yet the guide encouraged him to get back on. As he approached the horse, it kicked him forcefully with its hind legs. His partner was visibly shaken and refused to continue riding. Another couple was thrown off when their horses became agitated. Both were deeply shaken, and the man sustained visible injuries. There was no first aid, no professional support, and the guides didn’t seem equipped to handle such situations. What’s worse is that the Viator listing is completely misleading. Many of the positive reviews refer to an entirely different ranch — Establo Horse Ranch — and describe a guide named Batuhan (Batu), a family atmosphere, good English, and a relaxing tea stop. None of this matched our experience. Our guide was Arslan, assisted by teenagers who spoke minimal English. There were no stops, no commentary, and no care shown. Viator seriously needs to improve its vetting processes. This felt like a bait-and-switch, with a substandard, potentially dangerous experience being sold under the name and reputation of another operator. The only positives were the timely pickup and that the guides took some nice photos during the ride — but that does not compensate for the safety risks, distressing incidents, and false advertising. Avoid this tour. Viator must take accountability for the experiences it promotes.

Thank you very much! Places is beautiful, horses is perfect, we are happy! We were with 7 years old son and everything was excellent.

My family did a two hour horse back riding and Murat was as our tour guide. He is very nice. He took us to nice places for pictures with beautiful scenery. We had a very good time. Highly recommend this service to anyone who consider house riding while in Cappadocia. Thank you Murat

Such a lovely experience and would definitely recommend! Transfers to and from our hotel was so easy and communication was brilliant, especially as we only booked this experience 2 hours before pick up time! Our guide was brilliant, kind, patient and took time to take photos in beautiful spots en route. We even stopped half way for a Turkish coffee and to take in the breathtaking views. 100% recommend. Thank you!

“My horse riding experience in Cappadocia was absolutely fantastic! Exploring the breathtaking landscapes on horseback was truly a unique and magical way to take in the beauty of the region. The guides were professional, friendly, and ensured we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire ride. The trail took us through stunning valleys, hidden paths, and gave us incredible views that you simply can’t get any other way. The horses were well-trained, gentle, and clearly well-cared for, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Cappadocia. It’s an unforgettable adventure that combines the region’s natural beauty with a touch of excitement. Definitely a must-do!”

An excellent horse riding experience! I was the only one who booked the package as that time was a low season, so I got a very nice private experience. Nothing fancy about the package, but indeed you will experience a warm service from a lovely family. It was my first horse riding experience, and I got a chance to have a ride with Soilo, a beautiful and calm 6 yrs old mare. I was guided by 2 people and a very friendly Turkish Lion baby called Rex. The guide was very patient and always making sure I am safe during the ride, but still gave me autonomy to handle the horse by myself. In the end of the trip they will serve you some Turkish tea to relax a bit after 90 minutes of riding. To manage your expectation, the ride started at 3 PM, so I didnt get the sunset, yet the scenery was still breathtaking tho.

Great experience. So lucky that I met a very hard working family. Me and my wife were picked up at our hotel by the husband, and the tour is guided by the wife who just walked for the whole two hours in the trip. All the best to them.
