Ask a QuestionHi, I would like to know if the person needs to have a horse riding experience- or it's within a group of other people with all levels like beginners?
No need to have a horse experience. All the tour there will be a horse guide with you and also before starting the tour he will clearly explain everything. For sure he will also choose the calmest horse for you.
