It was so fun and exciting. Our guide, George was very accommodating. He made sure that we are very comfortable with the horses. We rode all over, the stopped on top of the cliff to watch the sunset. We had such a great time. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent time

Great experience!

Maeve_S, Apr 2024

This was the perfect experience. Beautiful town, beautiful views. Our guide was so kind and informative. I am not super comfortable on a horse but enjoyed every minute because of our guide.

Ehh… if you have time

The company/guide was very late. I waited 45 mins at the pick up spot and though they were friendly, they weren’t apologetic. We went in a circle on the horses down a few alleys to see lots of airbnbs and hotels. Nice scenery. Took a couple pictures. Horse riding lasted 30 mins literally and we were finished.

Wonderful experience

Kayla_A, Jan 2024

A peaceful ride through the city, ending with a great view of the island. The guide took wonderful pictures and it was a memorable experience! Riding horses in Santorini should definitely be on your bucket list.

It felt very safe for our kids. The guide tied our horses together and walked them like walking a dog.

It was neat to get off our feet for a while and enjoy the horses. We enjoyed seeing another town. The guides took us to a beautiful overlook of the caldera.

Great Experience

Yessenia_D, Oct 2023

Great experience. They were extremely accommodating. We were running late and they found a time that worked for us both.

A fun way to experience a taste of Santorini

Sarah_p, Aug 2023

We had a little trouble finding the stables since there’s not really a sign for it, just signs that point you in that direction, but once we found it, it ended up being a fun and private way to see the beautiful little old town of Megalochori! My mom who is 63 had a blast, and we both loved how healthy the horses looked as well as how good they were. It was just us and our guide, but he knew little back roads to get us to the view of the caldera which was absolutely stunning! We weren’t sure what to make of it at first, but this experience has definitely been a highlight of our trip. Would highly recommend!

Fun experience

Yuan_G, Aug 2023

Super friendly people and the trip was awesome. We were running a bit late due to Uber drop off at wrong location, the operator was patient enough to explain and help us to find the right place. Still manage to get the tour running 20 mins behind.

We had a fantastic time...

Lorna_F, Jul 2023

We had a fantastic time on our horseriding experience. Our guide was very patient and helpful. I would highly recommend

I thought the tour would be in English, but no just no talking just pictures. Also the cabs hagled with everyone. They should figure out the pick up the cab driver was a horrible experience.

Disappointing

Kris_R, Jul 2023

This horse riding excursion was unfortunately disappointing. I am an experienced rider and have done these sorts of rides in several countries, and I’m also a solo traveler, so it was just me and the guide. But starting from the first impression- the place is not easy to find, has no marked door, no office, and I had to flag down someone, who then had to find someone else, to then call the person who would be my guide to meet me. I was not offered a bathroom or water. There was hardly any talking at all from my guide, who I’m not sure even spoke English very well. We did ride through the town to the caldera. Once there, the horse is trained to pose against the background, facing the camera, and wouldn’t turn around, so I didn’t even get a view of the caldera in the literal 90 seconds we spent there before turning right back around. My guide barely even said goodbye to me as I got off the horse, and just walked away. It was pretty boring, as I didn’t get any commentary from my guide about the town. I will say the experience was as described, but would not recommend. This was the least fun activity of my trip, which is a shame because I love riding.

amazing views!

Paris_T, Jul 2023

the views were amazing and great guide. he asked about experience and let the more experience rider do his thing which he really liked. Would definitely recommend

Great horse ride

Lauren_T, Jun 2023

Absolutely amazing horse ride and great guides. Just note that there is little shade and just be clear about timing. But everyone was suer friendly and helpful and we felt absolutely safe on the horses! Thank you so much for a wonderful time!

A little scary

Emily_B, Jun 2023

I thought we would be taught how to ride the horses independently, but instead were led on the tour. It was a nice tour and the views of the caldera were stunning, though I think they led us dangerously close to the edge. There were several times we felt our horses might slip off.

My mom and I really...

Rachel_D, Jun 2023

My mom and I really enjoyed the relaxing ride through the pretty village of Megalochori! Shout out to our amazing guide Babi for showing us around and taking lots of great photos for us 🦋

Great experience!

Bethany_N, May 2023

The guide was friendly and informative and the views were spectacular! Highly recommend to anyone that wants an off the track tour.

Sherman, Renee and the Horses!

Erika_M, May 2023

First time riding a horse and he made me feel ok to be comfortable. The view was nice. It was great!

Fun.

Alexandria_M, May 2023

Well cared for horses. Nice guys running it. Nice in the morning in May. Would be hot in the afternoon in the summer.

Fun experience

David_K, May 2023

This was one of the best experiences on Santorini. They guides were great and they took us to a beautiful cliff overlooking the water! Good for those with no experience on a horse.

Must do in Santorini

JorgeA_H, Apr 2023

Although I am terrified of riding a horse, I still decided to do it. The tour guide made me feel safe, confident and kept pointing me at places and teaching about all the trip. Thanks 😊
