She was informative and fun and I have been on lots of tours around the world and she was the best guide I’ve had. Thank you for an amazing day”

“What an INCREDIBLE time! We booked this last minute and we are so glad we did. The ranch is beautiful, horses are well cared for, it’s incredibly quiet unlike the hustle and bustle of the city, and the cost is just so kind. Our biggest regret is scheduling our taxi to pick us up too soon after the excursion, so we didn’t get to sit and drink wine with the owner (that he makes himself and was SO GOOD). Be sure to give yourself at least 2 hours — and, yes you definitely want to taxi here. Ladies: don’t spend the time getting all done up, wear practical clothing/closed toed…”
