What people are saying about Las Vegas

A wonderful experience. It was our first time horseback riding and the horses were well cared for, calm and relaxed. Our 6-year-old son wasn't afraid, everything was explained to him and us very well and the guide Colby was a very nice cowboy. Unfortunately it rained heavily during our ride and we were soaking wet and frozen through. Colby then drove us to a cabin nearby where we could wait for the taxi. Conclusion: We would do this tour again and again, but next time we would drive to the meeting point in our own car, since there is hardly any reception in the mountains to book a taxi or Uber.

Beautiful views,would recommend if you go during winter months to dress warm,gloves and hat/scarf! The location in winter months is in the desert so plan on either driving or very reliable transportation. We relied in Uber/Lyft,the way to location with Lyft was great but getting Uber or Lyft return took almost 1/2 hour! Grace our guide was very nice! would do all over (maybe in warmer months)!

We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday and had an AMAZING time. Grayce, our guide was exceptional in explaining everything and being a pleasant host for us. The scenery was amazing and the timeframe of the tour was perfect... not too long and not too short.

It was an amazing ride, we enjoyed the quiet, the mountains and all the awesome info our guide gave us about the area, we would definitely recommend it and will do it again next time we are in Vegas!!! Thank you so much!

Fab experience… the people are soooo kind and accommodating a great experience x
