We had the best experience! The horseback riding was by far the best part. Felt like we were in a movie with all of the gorgeous scenery. The archeological sites were great and our guide knew sooo much information! 10/10 recommend.

Pure Fun

Wanda_M, Jan 2024

Riding the horse high in the mountains was fabulous. The views were so beautiful; I almost cried. I felt safe and well taken care of at all times. The ancient ruins were incredible. The tour guide was informative.

Cusco essential

James_L, Jan 2024

What an awesome day out! About an hour horseback riding (my first time!) and then seeing four different parks (70 soles fee for this). Not normally a fan of tours but my guide was fantastic. Highly recommended.

4/5

Jordan_J, Jan 2024

A little bit expensive compared to the other tours that are similar. They should include the cost of the tourist ticket in the tour price. We also didn’t get any snacks as the description stated. The horseback riding is only for about an hour- I thought it would be for majority of the tour. That being said our guide was informative and we did have a good time.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your review Ms. Jordan. We really appreciate it, will help us to improve our services. Unfortunately we can not include the entrances to the archeologycal sites because they are managed by the peruvian goverment, they are around 20 USD that tourists pay directly to preserve the place. (We as a private company can not sell entrances for public places). Yes, the horseback riding is about an hour (it is described on the itinerary) we can not ride horses into the archeologycal sites because we need to preserve them. (Horses hoobs can damage the soil). About the price. Unfortunately the expenses to provide a horseback riding tour with: well cared horses, with a professional guide, with a driver an a car for transfers is not cheap. There is a large team involved in the activity. We have some of the most competitive prices on the country. We are very happy that you enjoyed the activity. We will keep improving our services to give our customers the best. Warm regards.

Amazing Experience

Violeine_S, Oct 2023

What’s an amazing experience. The tour guide was absolutely amazing. The views were breathtaking. Highly recommend

Great experience mixed with culture especially for family with teens

susanne_h, Oct 2023

We were picked up at the hotel in time and saw the first two sights that were about 20min away. Very knowledgeable and great guide who spoke fluent English. We then went to the ranch to get 4 horses and ride with guide and muleteer through some rather unique landscape to see some more in a ruins. The horse ride was about 1.5h. They matched the horses according to experience and confidence and there was a beautiful horse for everyone. On our way back we stopped at the last and biggest site which was truly breathtaking. Great tour especially with teens as it mixes cultur with activity very nicely. We then were dropped back at the hotel. X

Great experience

Jessica_F, Oct 2023

Best in Cusco

Super experience

Guillaume_D, Jul 2022

Everything was perfect, they showed up on time, our guide was super cool and had extensive knowledge on every places we visited during the tour. The horse riding part was beautiful and easy for every one (we were both beginners). Highly recommend!

Definitely Take this tour!

Heather_L, Jul 2022

Ride horseback to ruins otherwise not accessible. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, he grew up on the land you ride on. This is a little family owned business and the care and attention to detail put big companies to shame!!! One of my favorite things I’ve done in Cusco. Will definitely take this tour again if I’m lucky enough to visit again!

Very informative

Melisa_T, Jun 2022

Guide was Excellent. He was very knowledgeable. He explained Inca history at each site. The horses were good and the scenery was great. The horse riding was only about 1 hrs of the tour the rest we traveled by van to each site.

We were taken to the most beautiful scenic areas on horseback. Our guide’s knowledge about the culture and history was amazing. He was easy to understand and answered all of our questions. He even gave us a great suggestion of where we could experience and see authentic food/dancing.

Excellent way to spend half a day in Cusco!

Kaisu_S, Feb 2022

The guide was really knowledgeable of the architecture and culture behind the sites and answered willingly to all my questions. The horse back riding was also really amazing, such great views and eally nice horses. Everything went super smoothly. I can really warmly recommend to everyone! Note that the ticket to the archaeological sites not included.

Hogler was a great guide....

Marvin_C, Nov 2021

Hogler was a great guide. He is very knowledgeable about the history and archeology of the Incas. Also, the horseback riding was fun. You see some small ruins in the National Park while riding. The horses are well behaved. I would recommend this tour.

Fun and informative!

Marilyn_D, Oct 2021

The tour along with horseback ride was one of the highlights of our Peruvian adventure. Highly recommended!

Excellent Experience!!!

Justin M, Jan 2020

My wife and I had an amazing experience in this tour with our tour guide Jenny. One major regret was not wearing sun screen even though it was cloudy all day, so please plan accordingly. The horse back riding is exciting as the horses trot from time-to-time.

excellent trip, horses were well...

leighann w, Nov 2015

excellent trip, horses were well cared for and we rode through sheep fields. The horseback riding was not to the ruins which was a little misleading, but they were 2 separate and fun events.

Vale muito a pena fazer este tour

Christina_R, Jul 2023

A experiência foi espetacular. Nosso guia maravilhoso, os cavalos muito bons. Recomendo com certeza!
