Cappadocia · GOREME HORSEBACK RIDING TRAILS
Cappadocia means "land of beautiful horses" and the valley trails are still the honest way to see them. These 15 rides run from one hour to half a day, sunrise or sunset, and the price gap between them is enormous.

“Our horse riding experience was wonderful! From the beginning, they provided all the necessary safety equipment — we were given a disposable protective cap to wear under the helmet, and then the helmet itself, which made us feel safe and showed their professionalism. The horses were calm, well-trained, and friendly, making the experience suitable even for beginners. The guides were patient, gave clear instructions, and made sure we felt comfortable and secure at all times. It was a beautiful and relaxing experience that we would definitely do again. Highly recommended!”

Guided sunset horseback ride through Cappadocia valleys with hotel pickup, small group size, and photos. Beginner-friendly, 90 minutes.
“Pick-up from my hotel was well organised and on time, it actually started pouring of rain just as we arrived at the starting point, but luckily it cleared before we left for the ride. It got off to a bit of a shaky start; the guys organising all the horses didn't seem very welcoming/friendly, people were also getting on horses, horses were wandering off and someone very nearly got kicked by other horse. The first 20 mins of the ride was also down a very sad looking road full or garbage. However, once we started to get into chimney areas, it certainly was great experience, beautiful scenery and sunset. I'm…”

“Not sure why you're able to still book and pay for this activity as I don't believe it's still in business. I book everything based on reviews and this seemed the best, however looking into it more the last review left was August last year. Messaged this operator to check our pick up time and never got response. Was ready for 4am in case they decided to show up but never did. Viator not helpful at all, assured this place was still in business despite the fact they "could not reach" the operator.”

“Driver came to pick us up on time, and we were introduced to our horses and briefed well on how to ride them safely. The experience is a real value for money as it lasted for more than 2 hours. The guide brought us to scenic spots and took photos of us on our horses. He also explained some of the achievements he’s made with them! Overall a wonderful experience and good for first timers like myself.”
Every kind of morning here, and the best of each.
