Review of Cappadocia sunset horseback riding through Rose, Love, and Red Valleys, with fairy chimneys, hotel pickup, tips, and safety advice.
“I have taken a couple horse horseback riding lessons and have some prior experience riding so I am familiar with horses. They were late picking us up from our hotel and didn't explain or introduce themselves to us which I felt was rude. They kept the horses extremely close to one another which is dangerous as the horses can kick one another if they feel scared. We went through a narrow stone ravine which they didn't announce prior to entering. Another person's horse slipped and fell to the side of the ravine which almost injured the rider and my partner as they were closely behind them (since they forced the…”

Ride through Cappadocia’s valleys at sunset with hotel transfers, gentle horses, local guides, and spectacular views from Göreme.
“It was a nice ~2hr horseback ride during the sunset. The staff was kind and very helpful. The view was amazing and we rode through a quiet area. There was a guy who was taking pictures and I asked him if it was included in the trip, he said yes, but later tried to sell us the pictures (poor quality). We had a rest for some coffee and snacks (not included in the price) a couple of times, one during sunset. The staff also offered to take pictures, again, amazing staff! I recommend this trip”
Ride Cappadocia’s Rose, Red, Sword, Love, and White Valleys at sunrise or sunset with horses, guides, hotel pickup, and fairy-chimney views.
“Great experience! They picked us up at our hotel, even when it was very far from all the main touristic area of Göreme. The tour and instructions are in English, but there was always someone being attentive to translate to my Dad, who only speaks Spanish. The landscapes were breathtaking, and everything is very well organized, with all the safety considerations and precautions in place. I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Capadoccia.”
Ride through Cappadocia’s quiet valleys to Hallacdere Monastery on a guided two-hour horseback tour from Goreme.
“I emailed them in advance to make sure everything was planned well, because I thought it was odd that it wasn’t canceled because I thought it would be dangerous to be riding a horse during heavy snow. I got a reply saying I would get a refund if the weather was very slippery (which it turned out to be). As we arrived everything went downhill from there. My shoes were too big and didn’t fit in the stirrups. Nothing was done about that and I was told I would be fine (which I wasn’t). As we started riding, there were only two people for a group of 7/8 people, so…”
Ride through Cappadocia’s Rose and Red Valleys at sunset with hotel pickup, calm horses, scenic viewpoints, Turkish tea, and small groups.
“My husband and I did the 5:30pm tour and we had a great experience (first time on a horse ever!). The horses are obviously members of this lovely Turkish family and are well cared for and very calm. We started at the family’s ranch, where we were warmly welcomed by 3 generations on the farm. The English was limited but it was enough English to show us how to direct the horses during the ride. 4 handlers went on our ride with our group of about 8-10 people/horses (the handlers I think were the mother, father, and adult children of the family) so we felt very safe. We moved at…”

“Driver came to pick us up on time, and we were introduced to our horses and briefed well on how to ride them safely. The experience is a real value for money as it lasted for more than 2 hours. The guide brought us to scenic spots and took photos of us on our horses. He also explained some of the achievements he’s made with them! Overall a wonderful experience and good for first timers like myself.”
