Unfortunatly our experience was not positive. We got lost to arrive in Melides so we tried to call to ask if it was possible to do in the afternoon, but there was no directly number to call in Portugal, but in USA. Filipa finally called us and gave us the exactaly adress (we didn’t have it and we were just heading to Melides direction until somebody call us). When she finally called us we put in GPS and it was showing still 45 minutes and we asked her if we could reschedule for the afternoon because I didn’t want to disturb all the tour and she said it was fine because there was just one more couple and they were lost/late. We continue as fast as we could but she started to call us each 5 minutes to put pressure and to ask us to go faster with the car. In a total she called 8 times in 45 minutes, what was very stressful because it was the same device that I was using the GPS and my friends didn’t speak Portuguese, so I had to drive fast, deal with all her stressful calls, in a very difficult road. It was clearly that she wanted to be mean, even that she knew exactaly the time that we would arrive. Arriving there we understood that we were the only two people for the tour and she was just putting pressure because she wanted to leave soon. She complained about the time during all the tour and didn’t have any other subject during all the way apart from the road that we should had taken. When I tried to make any question to change the mood because I was curious to listen about the place she was very rude with any question and didn’t gave us absolutely any interesting information as a guide about the place. The tour took around 40 minutes. Luckily the beach and the horses were just amaizing, but I highly recommend to do it with another company. I was extremely frustrated because we planned this trip long time ago and the horse guide supposed to be the high point of the trip. I gave the tour to my friends as a gift, payed expensive price and had very unpleasant time because of Filipa that treat us very poorly. She just treated me better when I said I’m opening a hotel in the coast and was looking for partnership, but certainly I won’t recommend this company to my customers.

Madeleina was an excellent tour guide, and the scenery was breathtaking, and her two dogs accompanied us, and were very well-behaved. We enjoyed it immensely, and will definitely go back and recommend it to all of our friends. The horses were really well taken care of, very healthy and loved.

My wife and I had not ridden a horse in decades, but we wanted to have the experience of riding on the beach in Melides. This company is terrific -- we had a wonderful guide, well-behaved horses, and a great trail. The guide was so reassuring and paid special attention to use because she knew we were a bit concerned about falling. She was the best! I would highly recommend this company.

The experience itself is a dream, thanks to the incredible location. the horses are happily living in their paddock’s are well kept, calm and gentle.

It was amazing, horses well looked after and safe, our guide Eloise was also amazing she was very friendly and safety conscious if she thought it was unsafe to canter on beach then we did not, safety to us was her priority. We all enjoyed it (3 of us) and will definitely go back next time we are here. Thanks for lovely enjoyable morning

What a beautiful experience. We loved it and definitely will do it again. We arrived very late wich affected a family waiting for us and i was so sorry for that! But the experience was amazing and Constança was professional and patient. Already recommended and will definitely do it again.

Amazing experience. Beautiful beaches, nice horses that are well fed and healthy(!!!) and the guide was phenomenal! Can't recommend it enough!

This was my most favorite part of our vacation. the staff was very kind, knowledgable, and tons of fun. The horses are so good and know every step of the trail with their eyes closed. Our guide, Magdelena, was so much fun and made the hour and half tour fly by with great conversation and gave us great restaurant recs afterwards. the pictures were fantastic so we can show everyone that this tour is a must do! - the mississippians
