We paid for transport to and from the venue and this was very prompt. Upon arrival, we could see all of the horses (and the donkey!) and you could tell... read more that they were very well looked after.
We opted for the two hour experience, our guide was very friendly and spoke faultless English and chatted to us the whole way around. She was lovely! We rode down to the beach and stopped for lots of photos that our guide took (very professionally!) on my wife's phone. We then headed back up the hill and stopped at a church for some more pictures before heading back to the yard.
My wife is an experienced rider and thoroughly enjoyed it, I on the other hand am not, and am pleased to say I loved every minute and the riding was not testing at all.
I would highly recommend this lovely place! More

9/09/2019My partner and I had originally booked and prepaid for the sunset tour with dinner, but we messed up our scheduling and double booked ourselves another tour that day.... read more Lucky for us, Experience Horse Riding was extremely accommodating and was able to fit us in the next day at 4pm. It wasn't sunset, but it turned out even better because we ended up being the only two people! So we got a private ride for the same cost! Electra was our guide and she was absolutely fantastic. So kind, friendly and just all around good vibes. She made sure we got lots of pictures and was a great photographer, basically giving us our own photoshoot on the beach! The horses were well behaved, and the trails were very easy. My partner had never ridden before and he was able to keep up just fine and enjoyed himself. Make sure you wear pants and closed toed shoes! I saw a few girls pull up in dresses and sandals and I'm sure they got a rude awakening! Horses are living, breathing creatures! Not just Instagram statues to pose with! Be respectful and they will certainly take care of you.
Overall, I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to enjoy the Santorini landscape from a more natural view point. More

12/27/2019We found this place by accident, but did not regret it. Initially we were skeptical about going for a ride, as we had some not so pleasant experiences with the... read more horses in past (I fell down in two different places and got a phobia of horseriding).
After spending some time with their horses, petting them and just watching them be calm and relaxed, and chatting with the professional crew, I decided to give horse riding one more chance.
It was one of the best descisions made that day. It was a relaxing ride to the beach, through some amazing landscape. Even though I was really nervous in the begging, my guide managed to put my mind at ease and make me feel confident. All the horses behaved perfectly! I was amazed with them.
From the very beggining and during the whole ride I had a professional guide instructing me about what to do on the horse, how to stop it from eating, and told me some really interested information about those magnificent animals.
Needless to say, that I am not afraid of horses anymore and considering having riding lessons back home!! More
8/24/2019Great time with lovely guide. Horses were well cared for. Catered to different levs of experience and were very happy to tLe photos. Fun.

The horses were nice. As far as I can see they treat them well. But as long as they keep birds in cages(!), I cannot give more than 3 stars.
11/17/2019A little touch to your otherwise predictable vacation. Horses are very nice and easy, the girls who take you riding (actually, walking on horses, but not everybody knows how to... read more do it....) are wonderful. I strongly recommend it

Yes f you know how to ride you can ask and you will galop with the horses on the beach which was so nice ! Horses are very nice and cool even if you have never made horse riding before though.
Thank you for this great experience !!

Φέτος μια καλή φίλη μου σύστησε το Santo Horse Riding καθώς εχω τρέλα με τα άλογα και την ιππασία..Μπορώ να πω οτι πέρασα τέλεια και ευχαριστώ τα παιδιά(αναβάτες) για την υπέροχη βόλτα καθώς και τις souper συμβουλές που μου έδωσαν...
Τέλεια....τέλεια...τέλεια..!
