We had an absolute amazing time on this horse riding tour. The family are extremely friendly and funny! They really do look after and put the needs of their horses first! You are matched to the best horse to suit you. Being an experienced rider I was matched with Victor who is a young horse, an absolute dream to ride even though they said he was the most challenging horse they have. My partner being a novice was given a lovely horse and had a great time. We had lunch with everyone and the food is the best we have had so far in crete! It just kept coming and we were treated to some lovely wine to go with it. You are able to buy your picture for €2 which goes to the care of the local dogs and cats. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was an added bonus! I would highly recommend this horse riding tour. My omly piece of advice is to wear trousers and closed toe shoes! Thank you for an amazing day!

The most amazing horse riding experience we’ve EVER had. The family who run this take the care of their horses very seriously, they are fantastically taken care of and you’re matched to the best horse for your experience and weight. They give you a traditional lunch after your ride and are just amazing in every way. When we visit Crete again we will 100% be returning.

Had a great time, I was picked up right on time by our tour guide who took us up the mountains to meet our horse. We were fitted with our hats and then asked some questions and asked to demonstrate a few things to show how much experience we had. We were then matched to our horse. I had Elvis he was lovely. We then went on our walk up the mountains and had a break at the top with juice & watermelon before setting back off down the mountain. Once down I was then given some time inside the school and then we had a lovely lunch before being taken back to our hotel.

Today we visited finikia horse riding. As horse owners ourselves from the UK and huge horse lovers we were taken back by the natural beauty of the place. The love these animals receive from their family was evident and we will definitely return one day. The horses were well cared for and so well behaved for all abilities. This trip has made my whole holiday. The food and drink and atmosphere around the table made us feel like we could have stayed there the whole week. 110 per cent advise this booking
