Horseback Riding Tour in Bohemian Switzerland

Awesome horseback ride & hiking

I had a great experience with Bohemia Adventures. From the moment of booking with ease, to the day of the excursion, everything was well planned and organized. I booked directly through the company. Though, not the cheapest tour, the company reached out to me immediately after booking thanking me for the business, finalizing details and answering questions I had. The communication was awesome. Vladimir was our tour guide and highly recommend. He was a safe driver, knowledgeable of local info (willing to share to enhance your vacation experience), flexible with your hiking abilities, and overall great guide. We went riding at Ranc Banov and had an amazing experience! We rode with the owner, Renata and her daughter. The horses are so well loved. The farm consists of a variety of animals. The ride was picturesque & scenic through the countryside. They match your horse to your skill level. As an equestrian, it was the best part of the day! Lunch at Refugio was very tasty. Quaint little restaurant. We hiked at two local spots without the tourist crowds. Highly recommend this company and tour!!

it's like having a friend taking you out for a day trip!

We had a perfect trip that required no planning other than picking a date. Our guide, Mirek, made for a perfect day. He shared insight regarding Czech ways of life, historical knowledge, and geographical bits and pieces all through-out the day. It's about as closed to having a friend native to Czech show you around as you can get. The horse back riding, hiking, boat ride, and sights were perfect.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this lovely review! We're so glad Mirek made the day feel effortless and personal, sharing all those local insights along the way. Glad you enjoyed the horseback riding, hiking, and boat ride too — we'll pass this along to Mirek! 😊

Living life like an adventurer

As a 13 year old who doesn’t usually enjoy going on walks and isn’t usually that interested about geology and that sort of thing I found it surprisingly fun and interesting. It was truly fabulous. Lots of sight seeing and fun memories made to remember for years to come . Nice to have a break from the city into the countryside and see the parts of Czech Republic we haven’t seen before in past visits. Mirek was a wonderful host, very kind and nice to be around. I got quite tired on the steps however the views were worth the work. I really enjoyed my day and it was fun to live life like an adventurer. From aunty - a little instruction on how to ride a horse would have been nice ! And helmets that fit . Otherwise totally brilliant, great host , can’t believe how much we packed into one day ! Thank you 🥰

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad you had such a fun, adventurous day and that Mirek made it feel special from start to finish — those views really are worth the climb! We also really appreciate the feedback about horse riding instructions and helmet fit; we'll be sure to look into that. Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰

Hiking and scenery was great, horseback ride was lacking

The hiking was fantastic! If you are really into hiking, do their dedicated hiking tour, as there will be even more hiking. The terrain is not rough and it is all trails, but coming out of the canyon is tiring - you don’t need to be in great shape, but if you are really out of shape or very overweight, this will be too much for you, so just a heads up. The boat is a 20 min and a beautiful and serene ride - it is “powered” by a driver with a big stick, like a gondola, and you take it up the river a bit and turn around and come back. Great views and peaceful. The bridge was really neat and there were three or four lookout points we visited. We went on a Monday and it wasn’t crowded at all - we heard sometimes it’s packed with long lines for the lookout points. Our guide was great! Learned so much about everything and very conversational (I overheard other guides from other places and they just droned on reciting things.) He’s a native English speaker which makes things easier as well. The horseback riding is the reason for the 4/5 instead of 5/5. Full disclosure, another member of my party was the one who really wanted to do horseback riding, so I was expecting to not like this part as much anyway. It was much less polished…we were basically told to climb up and the horses had to be led/pulled along because they kept eating the grass (that had been their plan all along, so they knew this about the horses.) Since we couldn’t guide/control the horses, it was frustrating when they would guide them under a branch that was too low and we’d get smacked by it. One saddle came off at the turnaround point so I walked back (which I offered to do and preferred anyway, as the stirrups were too high so it was uncomfortable.) It felt like they dragged these horses out of the barn for us to make a little extra cash rather than any sort of tour.

Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! 😊 I’m really happy to hear that you enjoyed the hiking, boat ride, Bastei Bridge, and especially your guide. Your comments about the horseback riding are very helpful as well. I’m sorry that this part didn’t meet your expectations, particularly regarding the horses, saddles, and overall experience. I’ll definitely share this feedback with the team so we can look into it and improve the experience. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It really helps us! ❤️
