5.00I had the absolute best day with my girls on this tour! I was scared at first, but the horses were really gentle and the host and everyone around was so nice and helpful. It ended up being one of the best experiences. When we got back from the ride, the picnic was already set up for us. It looked so cute and the wine was really good. It was a beautiful experience. Thank you for this day.
Great experience, will book this again.

5.00Great experience, the picnic was so cute and fresh. The host was so nice. And the ride through the vineyard was magical. The horse owner Joan was very welcoming and fun. It was the best thing we did in Barcelona.
Amazing ride through the Spanish vineyards!

5.00Mehdi went above and beyond to ensure I have a guide who spoke English for me, even hoping on a horse and joining the ride had such a pleasant time! I highly recommend 10/10
