Beautiful views! - So amazing! The staff were wonderful - shoutout to Muhammed!!! Easy ride and well paced for a beginner. The beach was wonderful and the staff incredibly helpful. Moonlighting as photographers it seems is their side hustle because they are amazing at it!

Breath taking views on amazing horse - Amazing. Worth every penny. Ahmed is such an incredible tour guide. He is so kind to the horses and so patient with the riders. I loved this tour because I saw so many parts of Santorini that I would have never ventured to with my rental car. I also loved my horse. He was such a sweet boy. Thank you.

Sundrenched on horseback in Santorini - Wow wow wow - this was a stunning experience. The company running this experience are so helpful, friendly and professional. They have beautiful stables and offer options for the best excursion to take. They included ground transport for us to get from the beach to the port - and the horses!!! I had Xena and she was beautiful. So responsive and gentle. Highly recommend this

Beginner ride, beautiful scenery, accommodating guides, and highlight of our time in Santorini! - The ride was definitely a beginner's ride; the horses were calm and the pace is mostly walking, with brief trots. My aunt (who had only ridden a few times) and I (have been riding for close to 15 years) took this ride, and the scenery was beautiful! Our guides were lovely people, the stables were in good condition, and the horses were in good shape and well cared for. At the beach, the guides were able to accommodate for me to take a gallop along the shore, while the others waited for a minute, and that was truly a highlight of my time in Greece!! Overall, a fantastic experience, would recommend, and if I ever go back to Santorini, I will be taking one of their more experienced rides!

Very hot but fun - The views from the beach are stunning. The staff does a wonderful job communicating and taking pictures for you. We went in June so it was very hot. The ride was one hour to the beach and one hour back. Zero shade. They do provide you with a bottle of water but it heats up during the ride.

Okay for a stroll - Well it was a boring ride, stood on the beach waiting for a photo. Thought we were going to ride longer on the beach but no. Not worth 398 euros
