The activity has been canceled without a valid reason, and it is difficult to get a refund. I do not recommend it.

Love it so much I've stayed in the stables all day!

The owner Nobi is very attentive and kind. Hugan( I hope the spelling is correct) the guide is very professional and has a lot of patience. I have done three rides with him in a day. All different routes with beautiful scenery. I feel so alive while on the horse. I rode two horses on these three trips. Both are very clean ( just had a shower!) and obedient. Safety is guaranteed. I am sure I will be back soon!

Turned up very late and unable to contact

Arrived 1 hr 16 mins after agreed time. Failed to reply to messages or give any warning. Phone number went to a medical office, so we assumed it was a scam

Did not turn up and a scam

I would give zero if the system allowed. Do not book, it is a scam. Tour operator confirmed so we did not cancel and then did not turn up or answer messages. The phone number went to a local medical centre who said they got a lot of calls for this ‘tour company’

Be careful when booking this trip

The camel ride was ok, from the point of view of riding on one. However, there were a couple of things that took away from the experience: the “guides” seem to never be happy with their tips (even though we tipped fairly), which ruins the end of the experience, but we would really warn women about the tour company. The guy that picked us up from the hotel took a picture of me (female) while we were waiting for the rest of my family at the hotel lobby. Now, a couple of weeks after our return home, he’s contacted me on WhatsApp, sending me 3 messages: “hi” “how are you” “ I miss you so much”. Totally inappropriate and unprofessional.
