- Rosa T · IT2023-04-18Traveler review
There are no words to describe how special this experience was for me. From not knowing how to even sit on a horse, to be able to guide and control a huge animal in just an hour. And then the area , just amazing.

Overal waar we onze vakantie houden moet ik zeker ergens paard rijden, dus ook hier in Cappadocia.Aangezien ik al jaren ervaring had mocht ik op een arabische volbloed rijden.Machtig mooi verzorgd paard, we waren gelijk vrienden.
- Alina F · SI2022-09-23Traveler review
Sunset tour was amazing. A lot of sightseeing, beautiful sunset and the guides made sure everyone felt safe and had fun. They made stops to take lots of photos for every single person. The horses are also very well trained. We did not have any riding experience before and it was not a problem in any way.
- R Mc Calf · GB2022-09-18Traveler review
We chose to attend the sunset tour, which is 1 hour long and includes riding through several valleys, panoramic viewpoints and a quick photoshoot on horses with the help of staff during sunset. We loved it.

I booked the riding tour very last minute on the day and unexpectedly they were extremely helpful and offered me the best service ever. My guide was really professional and friendly, we rode through and valleys and visited a few excellent viewpoints. He also took a lot of great pictures but most importantly, the experience is unforgettable. I would recommend to anyone that stayed in Cappadocia.

Horseback riding was not one of our main points when I planned for Cappadocia. But I decided to take it later and that was the best decision. Best experience ever.
- Melissa F · ZA2022-09-11Traveler review

It's very exciting to ride a horse through the amazing valleys of Cappadocia, also known as the ‘land of beautiful horses.’ The lunar landscape of Cappadocia with its unusual rock formations is ideal for exploring on horseback.

So I and my wife booked this tour when we were still in Canada. The team at Privatetour.com was in touch with me straight away - wishing me a safe journey to Turkey - ensuring me that everything was confirmed etc. Once I arrived in Cappadocia, I had a message to let me know the pick-up times etc for the tours I had booked. I am very very satisfied with the service! Then the horse riding tour, wow it was amazing really amazing. We saw some beautiful sights whilst on the horse, it was so much fun. So many amazing places to take photos really really so worth doing the trip. I have already recommended to my friends, thank you to all involved organising our trip - you made it amazing and we are very happy. I look forward to booking with you in the future. Thank you so much.
