Started off late but enjoyed my experience

I think my tour forgot about me, and after about 10 minutes waiting, I messaged them and they said the driver was on his way. I arrived at the ranch and was on a horse about 30 minutes after my initial pickup time. I was told that it was just me today and I had my own guide. He was a very nice young Afghani guide and he was great. He made me feel comfortable on the horse and even took pics of me using my phone at scenic stops. About 30 minutes in, we crossed paths with another group of riders on horseback and he let me know that was my group. So I probably missed a small portion of my ride as I didn’t get to do the whole ride my group did, but I still had a great time.

Great Experience

The sunset horse riding tour with Adventure in Cappadocia was absolutely magical. The guides were incredible—they were so patient, walking alongside us for a lot of the ride and going out of their way to take some amazing photos for us. It really felt like they genuinely cared about us having a great time. This was definitely a highlight of our trip!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much see you next time

Unsafe and Misleading – Viator Must Vet Operators More Carefully

This was easily one of the most disturbing and misleading tours we’ve ever booked through Viator. The tour was listed as being with Lucky Luke Horse Ranch, but we were taken to an entirely different place — Golden Horse Ranch Cappadocia. What followed was a poorly run, unsafe, and unprofessional experience. Three people fell off their horses, and these were not minor incidents. One rider was assigned a visibly unstable horse and was bizarrely instructed to keep his leg from touching the horse’s side — an extremely awkward and unsafe riding posture. Unsurprisingly, he fell off, was shaking and distressed, and yet the guide encouraged him to get back on. As he approached the horse, it kicked him forcefully with its hind legs. His partner was visibly shaken and refused to continue riding. Another couple was thrown off when their horses became agitated. Both were deeply shaken, and the man sustained visible injuries. There was no first aid, no professional support, and the guides didn’t seem equipped to handle such situations. What’s worse is that the Viator listing is completely misleading. Many of the positive reviews refer to an entirely different ranch — Establo Horse Ranch — and describe a guide named Batuhan (Batu), a family atmosphere, good English, and a relaxing tea stop. None of this matched our experience. Our guide was Arslan, assisted by teenagers who spoke minimal English. There were no stops, no commentary, and no care shown. Viator seriously needs to improve its vetting processes. This felt like a bait-and-switch, with a substandard, potentially dangerous experience being sold under the name and reputation of another operator. The only positives were the timely pickup and that the guides took some nice photos during the ride — but that does not compensate for the safety risks, distressing incidents, and false advertising. Avoid this tour. Viator must take accountability for the experiences it promotes.

Response from the operator: I think there is a misunderstanding, the guests who fell did not fall on our side and that was our starting point, the guides who took care of you knew English, and they were telling you what not to do and what you should do, as you know, these are living beings, each of them has a different character and we are telling you that you should do everything.
