Cappadocia Sunset Horseback: Breathtaking Golden Ride

Stunning views with a small group (only 3!) and the horse hands were able to take photos of us individually! Really appreciated that they provided helmets too.

So...I feel bad, but this experience was just odd and unprofessional. It was the last activity in an amazing day of balloon riding and cave city touring. We were tired but excited to see the sunset this way. We were there with probably 5 other people, some of whom spoke English. I am not a great rider, but I have been on multiple "trail rides" in multiple countries. Generally the horses are pretty calm and just follow one another, nose to tail, on the chosen route. When the owner asked if we were beginners or not, some of us said we were. He proceeded to have a young man (some of them looked 10 or 11) take the bridle of each horse, even the horses of people who indicated that they could ride. Then we started out, young boys running alongside tugging on our horse's bridle, chattering with one another and acting silly. It was kind of like a kid's pony ride. We rode separated from our companions...I was up front with another woman and all of the men were behind us. I couldn't talk to my husband at all. The young men with us did not speak English. The scenery was gorgeous. We stopped for a while at one spot, taking some pictures. Then it started to rain: cold, big rain drops. We were all soaked in minutes. I thought we were heading back...no real communication...but we headed to another spot where they tried to line our horses up for a photo, which might have been great if it weren't pouring rain. The young woman with us lost it, screaming at them that she wanted to go back. There were lots of other weird episodes, but the whole thing just felt strange and unprofessional. We laughed about it afterwards, but I would not recommend with this company

This is called the best horse tour for a reason. Firstly, CEMAL is truly an incredible owner & person. It is a family owned business and you feel like family. I went as someone who has lots of horse experience, and my partner had none. They match the horse to your experience so everyone is comfortable. The horses are very well kept, the tack is safe, and in good condition. As a horsey person, I read all reviews for different horse tours and knew this was the only one i would felt good about choosing. The track is private, meaning no other ATV, walking or horse tours are there. In göreme, you see so many tours where the horses are tired, in crowded groups, trying to fit on the same tracks and ATVs and cars. The walking guides were offered to those who were left comfortable riding, and ended up being so generous with taking photos on all of the best locations. Cemal introduced us to his wife Ruth, and friend Robyn, who were incredibly generous and made us feel so welcome. It was such a special experience and completely made our trip. We will be back!

This was a great way to see Cappadocia away from the crowds. We are a family of 4 with 2 experienced riders and 2 novices and the staff managed to cater for all of us. It was allot of fun and a beautiful peaceful route.

It was so great! Everyone is so nice and I enjoyed the experience. The horses are well kept and the staff is very helpful all around.

Beautiful view of Cappadocia and incredible sunset. Staff was very nice and friendly as well. Book in advanced for best price

I recently enjoyed a sunset horse riding tour in Cappadocia, and it was truly unforgettable! A big thank you to Cemal and his professional team for making the experience so memorable. They ensured everyone felt safe and comfortable, and the horses were well-trained. Riding through the stunning landscapes as the sunset was magical, with breathtaking views all around. This is a must-do experience for anyone visiting Cappadocia. Highly recommended!

Cemal and his family workers where very nice people friendly and happy and money was there second priority unlike others. Also it was one of the least expensive places around

Cemal is very kind, helpful, and hospitable! He was very attentive to all my needs and immediately made me feel like part of his ranch. The horses are beautiful and well-trained, even for beginners. I absolutely recommend visiting Cemal — you won’t regret it! An amazing experience!

Superior experience for both of us. They took good care of me as a first time horse rider. Nice photos and videos were taken throughout our trip. They are nice and professional. It would be perfect if they could confirm the pick up time 1 day instead of 90 mins in advance.
