Great time
Anahalee_Y, Mar 2024
This was such a great experience, my friends and I loved it, and our tour guide was top-notch. We would definitely do this again.
Horse riding great, food & getting there not great 👎🏻
Hayley_C, Mar 2024
Had to sort out my ride there separately, they offer for you to book a ride through some recommended car service claiming it’s cheaper than Uber, you don’t see their price until the last step where it gives you a limited time to accept and book. Lyft was significantly cheaper. They should just have an option for Vegas strip pick up or choosing to find your own way there. The horse riding itself was a lovely experience that I enjoyed very much. The bbq lunch wasn’t good. For these reason I don’t recommend it overall and probably get a better deal elsewhere, but if you don’t care about those things and are willing to pay whatever price, then go for it.
Our guide didn't seem...
MELINDA_D, Nov 2023
Our guide didn't seem pleased to be there at all. She didn't talk us the whole ride except to yell at the horses when they got out of line. She ended up hitting one of them in the head because it was trying to bite another horse. Our food was cold and gross. I wouldn't recommend it for a trip at all.
Not satisfied
Trevor_C, Jun 2023
We thought lunch would have been a BBQ as stated not a box lunch. Recommended car service that was suggested almost got my family killed at a high rate of speed because she was late to pick us up and was trying to make up time. She got lost on the way as well. I went with the recommended car service because I was told they knew where to go. Horse tour guide was nice and polite.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi! Please don’t leave us a bad review because the car service you booked you had issues with. That’s not affiliated with us at all. The lunch is a BBQ sandwich beans corn and pie as described in the description. That’s what you were served. Not sure why your calling it a box lunch? So glad you enjoyed the guide and horse ride :)
Disappointed
Kevin_S, Jan 2023
Not much interaction at all , sit on a horse for an hour, eat a cold 10$ bbq plate out of styrofoam afterwards. Would not recommend this tour
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi! The BBQ dinner is catered. It’s not served cold. BBQ ribs, individual pie, corn on cob, baked beans and corn bread would not a $10 plate of food lol To ride on a horse you do sit on the horse 😂
Love it
Shuping_T, Dec 2022
The house ridding work is veryyyyyy nice, I am 100% will let my friend and families know about this company and how is my experience?
Bad customer service
Bridget_K, Nov 2022
Bad customer service. Would not call when asked. Will not deal with Viator ever again. Bad directions . Wrong directions.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi! We gave you correct directions. In fact We even had you provide us a screenshot of your google map coming to us which you did showing you knew where to go. Both viators customer care staff and our company tried to assist you repeatedly and you merely refused to work with us. You demanded private transportation that you did not purchase.
Never again!
Debbie_G, Oct 2022
The BBQ lunch nothing that they showed on the website, it was instead cold water with some meat and a few vegetables. A tiny pie and corn bread. It was most definitely a bait and switch. The horses should have been brushed they were dirty. The guide was not very friendly. For $125 each it was awful….never again.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Hi Not sure what business you went to but it was not ours. Please remove this and post to the correct business. Thank you
Trail & BBQ lunch - with no bbq?
Rose_H, Sep 2022
Great trail and was expecting a bbq as advertised but got a plastic tub of chilli with an apple pie Friendly guide and lovely views
First time experience!
Janna_E, May 2022
Our tour guide was very nice. She was very well in controlled of the horses. And all the horses were just so beautiful and well behaved. 5/5 would recommend. Kid friendly riding for sure!
GREAT TIME

Grace was a great tour guide! We really enjoyed ourselves! We would definitely recommend this tour to our family and friends.
Awesome experience!
John_R, Apr 2022
The lunch in the Mojave Desert was a spectacle. The ride was just peaceful as my wife and I celebrated anniversary. Charlie is an amazing host!
Not worth the money
Michelle_M, Apr 2022
The bbq lunch seemed to be from a take out joint which was sitting in the truck of our guide, not sure for how long but it wasn't warm. The ride was literally less than 1 hour and we only went through short distance of desert and no hills, mountains or anything...just saw a desert tortoise habitat (no turtle seen). Book early for another place and verify where food is coming from.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
Hi Lunch is catered from a BBQ company which drops it off fresh at the time your eating. They keep them in hot bags that are plugged in to the vehicle to keep it very warm before the groups return. Guide said you decided to not eat immediately after your and so it got cold while waiting for you to get to the tables to eat your meal. You could book with another company that has their guides cook your food out in the dirt and desert with unclean hands after they have handled horses all day. We like to offer our clients catered fresh food from professional chefs that is prepared in a safe manner. Also clients can take the remaining food home with them so we provide takeout boxes :) The ride has a volcano and beautiful sandstone formations with green trees and bushes through the base of two mountains with many red rock formations. Sorry you found that not scenic :(
Great first time ride
Kristen_D, Mar 2022
Perfect first time ride for our 9 y/o. The horses were gentle and experienced. The smoked pork sandwiches, cornbread and pecan bread were scrumptious. Our leader, Charlie was kind, patient and fun.
Best Ride in Vegas
Roberta_R, Feb 2022
One of the highlights of our trip. Great communication with the host prior to the trip. Our guide Charlie was great, and we loved our horses Butters, Max, and Trigger. The lunch was very nice, too. Worth the money!
Unexpected
Carolyn_H, Feb 2021
First 10 minutes great! Then the beautiful horses got frightened by the unexpected sand storm! Myself my husband 11 year old the guy in front of me all were thrown off into the air! Ouchhhhh then had to walk back to base🤷🏽‍♀️Your guides were very attentive 🙌🏽
Awesome ride!
Robert_R, Oct 2020
Tour guide was very careful to ensure we were safe and felt comfortable. Route was well chosen and the communication leading up to the ride was very good. It took a few days to get the pictures but they came out very nice as well once we received them. Great tour, great ride!
Mom and 2 boys trip to Vegas
Angela_W, Oct 2020
My boys and I had a great time! Tommie, our tour guide, made our experience memorable. The scenery was awesome....we didn't want the tour to end.
Good & Bad
Alexis_B, Aug 2020
Great experience however when the guide takes photos of you. You will not be able to retrieve them until you tip. & you will retrieve them 2 days later after continuously hounding them. If your looking for a nice trail ride don’t care about memories then cool but if you do think again.
Response from Host, May 2021
Hi! Our guides take pictures of he clients on the our as a courtesy :) these complimentary photos are sent that day. Sometimes the emails with pictures end up in someone’s spam folder and we are asked to resend which we do :) glad you had a great experience on your tour and enjoyed your complimentary photos we took :)
Awesome experience
Alexis_B, Aug 2020
Great experience, horses were calm and nice, smooth saddle, no trouble at all. As long as you are calm the horse will be calm
