      Amazing
      The experience was unmatchable. The views were stunning. This was my first time riding horses and they were so well behaved I would do it again and again. We have about 10mins of videos provided from the tour leader and so many photos. Above and beyond service!

      For explorers for a great time
      Excellent experience showing you the best of the Rhodope mountains on a horse. Breathtaking, not easy but totally worth it

      Amazing adventure in the Smolyan/Pamporovo area
      After the snowmobiles we had this adventure. Amazing Polaris buggy for 4 people that we drove through the Rhodope mountains. Great route and guide. Recommend with both hands

      Great serious ride
      It was great! It is a serious (not for beginners) ride, up and down for 2+3 hours, so we got tired but very happy. Horses are very good as our guides, who were very attentive. We had a nice BBQ lunch and enjoyed the view on the mountains.

      Wow!!!
      Revs up, superb views, great experience for our friends and mine. You need to take this activity by all means! Smolyan, Pamporovo and the Rhodope mountains are worth seeing! The buggy is super well maintained and we took the driving seats the 4 of us! Super!!!

      Wow! That is an experience!
      First snow and we were there. Beautiful! The Rhodope mountains are fantastic no matter of the season. The buggies and the whole organization are flawless. We had an amazing 1 hour in the forests with these beasts! Strongly recommend to everybody! It's worth experiencing that yourself and it's so affordable!

    Nothing exceptional. This proposal is a scam. You can go to the lake by yourself and tour it. This is not even proposed.

    Bonjour, en lisant votre avis nous sommes sûrs que vous n'avez pas regardé l'email avec toutes les instructions, le guide électronique, les cartes et l'itinéraire que nous vous avions envoyé. Ce que vous écrivez est totalement faux. Ce voyage autoguidé est excellent mais vous devez suivre toutes les instructions que nous vous avons envoyées. Nous n'avons reçu aucun appel ou message de votre part indiquant que vous aviez des problèmes. C'est dommage que vous écriviez comme ça pour une activité aussi excellente autour du lac Smolyan.

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
