      Amazing Gallops through the Vinyards
      Fantastic ride with Chantelle - such a beautiful horse and such incredibly scenery! Absolutely loved the two hour hack and the gallops across the various landscapes were fantastic. Cannot recommend this tour enough!

      Stunning Horse Ride
      Fabulous 2 hour ride through vineyards, woodlands and up into the mountains with absolutely stunning views. My horse was lovely, forward and willing, the owner Michelle was a really nice lady with so much experience and knowledge. They took safety seriously with the latest riding helmets and you got a clean kerchief to wear underneath them and the horses were very well cared for.

      Quad Biking
      Great experience with Michelle quad biking at Vrede and Lust. Nice event that even zero experience riders can do! Next time I want to go horse riding :)

      So much fun
      The quad bike experience was a ton of fun for me and my two teenage sons. The scenery and landscape lends itself to fantastic terrain that is ideal for a novice ATV rider. The pictures we got are excellent. An unforgettable experience and I would do it again.

      Riding out in the winelands
      Fantastic ride out for my wife and me in the Franshoek winelands and surrounding area's. Horses were exceptionally well picked for our different riding experience and suiting characters. Both guides did their absolute best to make sure we had a pleasant experience. Great chats and kind instruction during our tour. Great set up and location on a upscale wine farm. Thank you and hopefully till next time!

      Nice outing, thoughtful guides.
      Nice guides! Pretty views, too. Could have had a bit more history but enjoyed the info about the agricultural aspects.

      BEST DAY EVER
      My sister and I booked a 2.5hr beach ride with Michelle and her colleague Chantelle whilst on holiday in Cape Town. We were met with so much warmth and excitement! Michelle’s horses are gorgeous and have wonderful temperaments and we always felt safe galloping down the beach. Michelle and her team are so fabulous, we cannot wait to see when we can next book a trip to ride with Michelle again! Thank you so much for putting myself and my sister on cloud nine! We also loved the wonderful champagne at the end with the nibbles too. We have great admiration for you and your team. Lots of love, Aimee and Becky

      A great way to spend an hour
      It was a brilliant way to spend an hour! Michelle was a great tour guide! The route was challenging enough without being daunting. The quad bikes are well maintained and have plenty of oomph!!

      It's a brilliant way to spend an hour!
      Michelle was the perfect guide. She took us on an interesting route that was sufficiently challenging whilst still being safe. The quads are well maintained with plenty of power!!

      Wonderful, memorable
      We had a large group 15 riders 7 on ATVs and 8 on horseback. Super well accommodated for both. Great staff. It was hot but they provisioned us well for the heat. We rode as 3 families with kids and adults. All the staff were delightful. Very much a family feel of the operation in the best possible sense of the term. Would HIGHLY recommend. It is dusty but that is part of the climate recommend sunglasses as a result.

      Fab experience
      We couldn’t praise our hosts here enough, we are three older middle aged people with little or no riding experience and Michelle and her niece made sure we had a great safe experience. We rode through the vineyards and bush with plenty of chat about what we saw , pointing out things of interest.we would recommend 1000%

      A memorable experience with family
      We enjoyed sharing the trial ride with our kids. They never rode horses before and was a bit scared at first, but with the great guidance of owner Michelle and exceptionally well trained horses they quickly became confident riders. It is definitely recomendable and we had a great experience all together. The beautiful farm with its incredible views is the perfect setting. We also enjoyed the company of their friendly Jack Russel, Lexi leading the way!

    What a wonderful time we had on our horse and carriage trip . So wonderful being drawn by a magnificent white stallion while drinking wine supplied by Michelle the owner and guide. The scenery and the light was beautiful just before sunset. We trotted through the Rothschild vineyard and through the grapevines surrounded by rolling hills . Our experience was just magical and we will certainly be back to repeat this experience next time we are in Franschhoek.. can’t wait 😊
