Manny – United States

this is my honest upfront review. I didn't only fell in love with the ride and the experience i fell in love with the people involved in this ride. they where amazing and very caring and the ride ended by us becoming good friends. I been on other rides and these people and by far the best and made sure you was happy and most importantly safe. when in Cartagena I ask you give these good people a chance. promise you won't regret the ride the horses and the locals involved on this excursion.

Jose and his team were fabulous. I appreciate him reaching out to confirm our activity, providing exact location and bring early. The service was surpassed by the history lesson and hopeful vision of the future he presented during our ride. We felt welcomed like family and checked on like old friends. If you are in Cartegena, choose this activity with Jose. Also, bring a cash tip for his attendants. They walk along for new riders and endure the after sunset gnats, while being super kind and respectful. Best equine experience I've had in a long time. We wish our horse friends Shakira an easy delivery of her foal/colt and give Denver my love. Keep up the excellent work, Jose. We will be back. ~Xina & Company
