We booked the horse riding tour and it was absolutely fantastic. Could not have been better, and it’s all because of our wonderful guide Daniel who was attentive and went out of his way for us. He took pictures and videos, and even offered to switch horses with me when he noticed mine was going too slow. Could not recommend this tour enough.

Everything about our horseback riding was wonderful- from Laura picking us up at our hotel at exactly 8am to driving us to the riding adventure. Laura is personable and knowledgeable and it felt as if we were going with a friend. Thank you for a beautiful, calm and fun morning riding horses.

My family and I had an excursion with Sara. She was so warm and engaging. The kids learned so much about their city and were ecstatic to have been able to spend the morning horseback riding. We had a great time and would love to do this again.

My sister and I had a blast! Andres and his colleague were very accommodating and knowledgable with every question we asked. The horses are well maintained and seemed happy. We enjoyed the scenic routes away from the busyness.You will not regret this experience!

Andres and Omar were incredible. We had a private tour and we’re thrilled that they let us ride the way we wanted to ride as experienced riders. If you’re looking for a scenic ride while in Medellin these are the guys to go with. The horses are well kept and extremely friendly. Thanks again guys.

My husband and I had an incredible time on our horseback riding tour with Andres. The views were awe inspiring and Andres is the most friendly guide I’ve ever had. He picked us up from our hotel in a large, comfortable vehicle and the entire trip was seanless and fun. Definetly the highlight of our trip to Medellin.

We enjoyed a wonderful half day trip escaping the hustle and bustle of Medellín. Andreas picked us up from our hotel promptly at 9am to take us to the stables. Andreas was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The horses were clean and well cared for and behaved impeccably. The countryside was magnificent! Highly recommend this tour if you enjoy the countryside and horses, in equal measures.

From the time we were picked up at our hotel by Andres, til the time we returned, we felt right at home. To me it felt like more than just a tour, but an adventure with a friend. Andres was extremely knowledgeable and taught us more about Antioquia, which is the region that Medellin is in and Rionegro, where the ranch that we visited was located. Being a first time rider, Andres taught me how to ride safely and taught me about the difference in the Spanish horses from the horses that are more common in Colombia. I also learned about the vegetation here in the area where I uploaded a picture of a Cecropia telealba with its silver leaves that can be spotted from afar. The trail was a mix of country trails and paved areas, with plenty of space to speed up to a gallop if you desire. As a first time rider, I was okay with this, even learning that paved isn’t that good for horses because it’s slippery for them. About halfway through our journey we stopped at a farm house with a bar and stable with a beautiful view. We had time to use the restroom and enjoy a beer as we played with the young horses, cats and dogs, while myself and Andres traded stories about our travels and how they compare to Colombia. On the way back, Andres gave us tips on taking other tours and advice about the best places to go and the best time to do other popular tours! I intend to stay in contact with him and the company Medellin Day Trips as they definitely made my time in Medellin feel like it was well spent!

My father and I are on a week trip to Medellin and were blessed enough to find the site which led us to Andres. Its difficult to write this review without sounding like a paid advertisement but we honestly cannot overemphasize how amazing our day with Andres was. We are not experienced horseback riders, but we had one of the best days of our lives riding through the luscious mountains on horseback. Andres was kind and thoughtful— very knowledgeable on the city and extremely culturally/internationally astute– and perhaps most impressive of all he has an incredible passion for life and for Medellin! We gained a brother in Andres, and my only advice would be to do a tour with him right away in the first or second day in Medellin as it will make you way more comfortable in the city and you’ll get the most out of your trip. Happy traveling!!

Since I have some horseback riding experience, I told Andre I wanted something that is more for a rider with some experience, not just a ride for regular tourists. That’s exactly what he delivered. I also had to change the schedule once, and he was very good about it. Highly recommend! His English was very good, had no trouble communicating.

Our horseback riding tour was just what we wanted! He was able to accommodate us in short notice, was extremely professional and spoke perfect English. We saved his contact information for another day trip when we return to Colombia.
Even though neither one of us rode a horse since childhood, the trip felt safe and the route was very scenic. The ride to our final stop, a local farm, felt so smooth that we felt comfortable enough to gallop back. Then my partner realized she has an allergy to horses.On the ride back, Andres was kind enough to take us to the closest pharmacy for medicine to alleviate her allergies.

This was honestly one of my favorite parts about our trip to Medellin. The horses are great and well paired due to your skill level. The trails themselves were breathtaking, and our guide Andres was a wealth of knowledge. I would definitely try to squeeze this into an afternoon.
