We booked this based on the reviews, and it did not disappoint. Benny was our guide. She knew and explained the ruins well. My husband was unwell due to altitude sickness and she was very considerate to his needs. Oxygen was available. The horse riding was very enjoyable

Another amazing experience from many trips with Holger and his team in Cusco, every time is a different place and it’s quite exciting, the team is very knowledgeable with the history of every place we visit, reliable on time. We highly recommend it and will be coming back next year.

I booked nearly two months ago. My tour was scheduled for Wednesday and the vendor canceled today (Saturday), but is offering the same tour at the same time, but increased the price $5. There are other vendors offering similar horseback tours. I wouldn’t trust someone who would do this to someone in the middle of their vacation just so they can greedily get a little more money out of someone else. Viator should be ashamed they allow vendors to do this.

Absolutely breathtaking day exploring the countryside of the Andes on horses. Holger and his family were wonderful and getting to have a home cooked meal from his mom looking over the sacred valley is something I’ll never forget. Manulo & Pinto were the most sure footed and trusty steeds we could have asked for. Was very impressed by how well behaved the horses were through the rocky terrain, not to mention how well cared for they were too. Pro tip: bring some carrots for the horses for after your ride!

I am so glad I found this tour! I have been looking for horseback riding companies in Cusco and so glad I went with this company. I am not an experienced rider at all. I have only ridden on vacations like 2 times, and would never consider myself a serious rider. Just a real beginner! First of all, Holger was very responsive when I first inquired about the tour, and was graciously able to book a tour for just one person. I told him I was a little worried about the altitude, as I was starting to feel symptoms again, and he was very understanding. Then I expressed my concerns about needing a calm, smaller horse who was gentle, and that's exactly what I got! I created such a great bond with my host, and I've never really been a horse person, or even rode for a full day, only 2 hours maximum and couldn't wait to get off afterwards. But this time I didn't want the tour to end!! In the morning it was a small group tour, since I didn't mind either way if it was a small group or private. We went to Devil's Balcony. Then in the afternoon, was private with just Holger and I and we went to the Temple of The Moon. Both experiences were incredible, because Holger and everyone on my morning tour were so patient with me and encouraging. I felt like I was learning fast. Plus we also learned about the places we went too, and the surrounding areas. Breath taking views throughout the whole ride where you can see forever and peaceful surroundings. Same in the afternoon. I got to even rock climb and felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie! I've never climbed rocks before, but Holger opened me up to new experiences, and was so patient with me the whole day, both on the group and private. When I thought things couldn't get better, Holger and I had a picnic lunch all set for us near the Temple of The Moon prepared by his mom who joined us for part of it and was so kind, and not to mention, an amazing cook!! Plus throughout both morning and after, Holger made sure there was enough water and snacks for everyone, even when I dropped one of my fruits, he graciously gave me another, and an extra pack of oreos which I asked for. They really all went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. I would definitely ride with Holger again, even for an overnight tour. I wish I was a more advanced rider to do a multi-day trip. And an added bonus, for any cat and dog lovers, there are the sweetest, most affectionate, cuddly cat and dogs on Holger's farm. I made friends with them, there was a little puppy only 9 weeks old and a sweet and sassy cat who loved attention.

This was our favorite activity in Cusco!! Our guide and driver were prompt at pick up, and shared so much history with us! The horses were so gentle and the ride was engaging and super fun!

We had such an amazing time on our horseback tour of Cuzco! I highly recommend it! The guide knew all the local history and we felt connected to the Incas during this tour!

A fantastic experience! I’m not very familiar with horses back at home, but it wasn’t an issue at all because they had a wide variety of horses to accommodate different experience levels. Was a ride that was a mixture of appreciating the beauty of the Andes as well as a lesson as to the culture and background of the surrounding areas. An absolute recommend! 5 stars

Amazing experience with the most knowledgeable and kind guide. The views and the archeological structures weee breath taking! Absolutely 100% recommended.

Freddie and Roger were amazing guides! They took plenty of stops for us to take pictures of the views, which were amazing. The whole drive out there is gorgeous. Roger was very knowledgeable about the Incan history and little fun facts about the area. 10/10 would recommend them

This horseback riding experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Peru. We were a very small group of 2 travelers and it felt personalised (the guide takes the time to fully explain the history and facts of the inca sites we saw) The horses were very well looked after and extremely well behaved. We had the opportunity to trot too which was safe and fun.

I was so impressed with this tour and could not recommend it enough! The horses were incredible, well taken care of and a joy to ride. We were able to gallop multiple times throughout the trip and it was an absolute joy. But there is so much more to this experience on top of the fantastic ride! Seeing some of the off the beaten path Inca temples is so special, there are far less visitors at these sites and they are equally as important as some of the better known spots. The guide was passionate and had so much knowledge to share. He was a joy to spend the day with. He also provided some videos from our ride which I am so grateful to have and look back on! This was by far my favorite thing I did on my trip to Peru and highly recommend it!

The guide was courteous and informative. The horse ride went smoothly and the horses were forward but well behaved. Was fun to do a horseback tour.

An absolutely impeccable experience from start to finish. Our guide’s language skills, knowledge of the area and history was second to none and his obvious affection for the horses shone through. A truly unforgettable experience that we would recommend and re visit if we had the opportunity - even though we are total novices, we felt very safe throughout. We really couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you so much!

Excellent half day of riding . From the minute Holger picked us up he was helpful , full of facts and reliable . The horses were well looked after and the tour was a great mix of riding , stunning views and interesting historical information . Holger speaks excellent English, and he and the other guide were wonderful with our 7 and 9 year old . Highly recommended !
