We all had a great time, horses were calm and sure-footed, views were magical. Ride was just the right amount of time and then finished off with a wonderful meal. Grilled meats, potatoes and served with bread. The guides were friendly and really good guys. Thank you for my fantastic experience!

Skip this tour, not worth it.

Yoav_R, Mar 2024

Horse riding was very uncomfortable. Was given a horse that was troublesome, riding was mostly in the night, and you can't see the path in front of you. In addition, pick up was very late at a location not at our hotel. Initially then insisted that if I was not there at the allowed time, then it would leave without me, and then when I arrived at the dedicated site on time, they were more then 45 min late.

Great !

ahjalai_r, Mar 2024

Great experience I recommend. Beautiful view the horses were amazing the instructors was so nice. Dinner and wine at the end was very tasty!

Perfect evening

Bryan_C, Feb 2024

An Excellent Experience

Christopher_D, Feb 2024

Liked the fact most of the day was available as the pickup was not until 5:30pm. The horseback riding was over 2 hours in length with beautiful sunset views of the valley and Andes mountains. The concluding outdoor BBQ dinner was also excellent. Highly recommend this experience.

Everything with this tour...

Tova_J, Feb 2024

Everything with this tour was so good! The tour guide Lenny was an incredible person and had so much interesting facts to tell us. The horses were incredible, calm and very nice. After an outstanding ride we came back for asado and wine which also was delicious! I can truly say that this was one of the best experiences of our travel trough Argentina and I recommend it for everyone, both beginners and more skilled riders. Don’t miss the opportunity to see an amazing sunset on the nicest horses with the best people!

Lovely sights; great ride

Crystal_D, Jan 2024

Loved the ride. Sunset was lovely and Team Lenny really looked out and made sure we were safe and so were horses. You know these horses are loved and cared for. Dinner was also tasty! Transport wasn't best if you're outside city proper. Prepare/line up late night transport to hotel in advance.

Spectacular evening on Guanaco

Peter_C, Nov 2023

What an evening! We were picked up in Central Mendoza with the other participants and driven out to the ranch. Both staff and participants were very friendly and it was only a short trip from the city. Upon arrival we were given our equipment, shown the horses and how to mount + control them. The horses were extremely friendly and i was given the wonderful Guanaco. All the guides (Tony, Santiago and others) were very friendly and knowledgable. Tony then took us up in to the hills on the horses. Views were absolutely spectacular especially around sun set. Tony took a number of photos of us when out riding which was great to receive soon after the trip. He was also extremely informative about the horses and area. Given that English was not his first language, it was amazing and he was able to accommodate both English and Spanish speakers. Upon returning to the ranch after a wonderful evening ride, we were given a delicious bbq, water and red wine which went down a treat. Great to chat to the guides about the horses and themselves as well. We were then driven back to Mendoza and all dropped off at our accommodation. Couldn't recommend this tour enough and big thanks to all the guides involved. A highlight for us during our 3 weeks in Mendoza

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are really proud to work with Santi and his team, they really creat an excellent experience and it's very important for us to know that you enjoyed all the activity details such as the lenguage, the care for the passangers and the spectacular meal. We really hope that you'd enjoyed the rest of your stay in Mendonza and we hope to hear back from you to visit other points of our beautiful Mendoza. Thank you for your time!!

Lovely experience whilst in Mendoza

Michaela_R, Oct 2023

We did a ride for about 2hrs up and down hills near the ranch with great views. No need to have previous riding experience, the horses know the route. The food when we got back was really nice. Tony and Santiago looked after everyone and the horses well

horses behave very well,...

Michele_A, May 2023

horses behave very well, the landscape is incredible and the meat dinner at the end was glorious. however horses are fearful of rocky road... and the full path was rocky

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi Michele! Thank you for taking the time to comment on your experience! We hope you had a good time even though the horses got a little scared. You are always welcome to visit us and to know other beautiful point of Mendoza!

Fabulous outdoor evening

Deborah_S, Apr 2023

It was a great excursion. Picked up by a van along with other people, drove to the ranch and got assigned to my horse: sweet Charlie! Two hour trip through the mountains, going up and down and Alejandro was taking pictures along the way. At the end we had asado meat and chatted with the group. All in all a great evening that I can recommend to anyone!

Amazing!

Aminah_A, Apr 2023

This was pretty amazing. My friend and I didn’t know what to expect and I hadn’t ridden since I was a child so we were a little nervous. The guides and horses were wonderful though. If you don’t ride normally, it does feel a bit long and you will be sore but the sunset and views are worth it. The dinner at the end was also delicious. Definitely an amazing experience.

Highly recommend to all!!!

Adam_T, Dec 2022

A brilliant experience from start to finish meeting wonderful people in the group! Lived up to all expectation, the weather/sunset was perfect and the guys accommodate so well for all abilities! Very much recommend!

Fantastic experience!

Dawn_G, Dec 2022

This was a wonderful experience! Our group was compromised of Spanish and English speakers and Santiago did a great job communicating with all of us. The horses were obviously loved and well cared for and very well trained. The views were breathtaking! After our ride we were served a delicious asado meal and wine. I highly recommend this tour!

Absolutely an amazing...

Mary_D, Aug 2022

Hope_K, Mar 2020

Wonderful experience! The view and meal were both amazing and our group had a great time - would highly recommend.

Scenic hillside ride

Srdan_T, Mar 2020

The tour starts in a winyard in Luján de Cuyo, simple briefing and instructions, Arandu the guide picked appropriate horse for each one of us and got us familiar. The ride was up and down the hills with hitting the highest point at the sunset. Guide took lots of photos for us and gave us lots of interesting instructions. On the way back it got dark. We made it back right on time for the bbq in the garden. Variety of pork and beef bbq choices and local wine to round up the night. Definitely a great choice for horseback riding in the area

A great adventure !!

Irnak_O, Mar 2020

This was a great experience for us. We were picked up from our Airbnb apartment on time- Raffaello, our guide and the staff( Santiago ...) were just so friendly and helpful with everything! All in all it was a well organized trip! ( horses-breathtaking sunset- scrumptious ”asado”- wine- tasty fruit)

Nice trip with good food :)

Ilkay_M, Jan 2020

You have to know, that the group need min. 3 persons to take the trip, if youre like me just one you need to be flexible, so have more then just one day to plan😂 And all in one was the guide really good like the delicious food. :) The horses are also handsome and cute, so you will have much fun, if you book this trip!

margaux_r, Apr 2024

super expérience nous avons passé un super moment à découvrir la culture locale. L'asado était copieux et délicieux. Les chevaux habitués et très gentil. Le couché du soleil était au rendez-vous. Je recommande
