Not to be missed if you like horses and archeology
Even before the ride, Gabriel's communication with us via WhatsApp was prompt and helpful. We reserved a private ride as we needed a pickup from the airport and our arrival time was not certain. Grimaldo was waiting for us. Driven directly to the ranch from the airport, our horses were waiting for us. Horses are no longer allowed at the archeological sites, so we rode, then were driven, then rode again to the next site. At our request, we even visited an alpaca ranch. Great horses and magnificent views along the trail. The four sites were fascinating and Grimaldo was very informative.

Super fun experience! My...
Super fun experience! My only complaint was we were not told in advance to purchase the addt’l tickets so we were unable to see Saqsaywaman. Better communication would have been appreciated. However, the guide ended up taking us on his own time on the way back to town so problem solved!!

Excellent, kind guides and all around fabulous experience!!!
They were incredibly kind and accommodating and even loaned us their jackets because the weather was so wet and cold. The horses were well behaved and because we had more experience we were able to trot and canter instead of just walking.

Lovely time
Gabriel was an excellent guide, and the horses were safe and very lovely. We were driven to the first location and had our tour there. Then we rode from Gabriel's ranch nearby to the second location with a quick drive to the third location. We rode to the fourth location and then rode back to the ranch. The driving bits were because there isn't suitable access for horse riding at all of the sites. He gave us a bag of snacks to take with us at the end :D I learned a lot from this tour!

Nice combination of horse activity and historical sites
A very nice tour. I have two guides for this tour: one would help me with the horse and one would drive me to the archeological sites and give me introductions. The horse I rode was a little bit unhappy in the beginning, but my horse guide quickly calm him down and riding with him for the rest of the trip is pleasant. I rode across the ranches between the archeological sites and the view was beautiful! The guide for the archeological sites was very knowledgeable. He gave me a quite comprehensive introduction to every site in a good English. Recommended this tour: it’s a nice combination of some horse activity and historical part.

Safe Nature experience for Family with kids
Gabriel and his staff show tremendous pride in their horses and the history of the area. The pick-up from our hotel was on time and a short drive to the drop-off point. It was fairly muddy due to rain but it wasn't a problem for the tour experience. The horses were very gentle and well trained. Gabriel's initially had staff escort our kids (10/12) but once they got confident they let them ride on their own. Peaceful, beautiful trails away from the busy city. Then the archeological stops. Gabriel also allowed us to spend time at the Llama ranch instead of another site. Very fun and educational. We had some rain but we came prepared with Raincoats and rolled with it in good spirits. Would 100% do this tour again.

It exceeded my expectations!
Gabriel took us through very beautiful landscapes while he explained the history to us in an entertaining and interesting way. The horses were very friendly and polite, they were healthy, it is evident that they are very well cared for. We had an unforgettable time! We loved the experience and we are going to repeat it. ♥️
