“Fun and Memorable Icelandic Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2011

We did a private afternoon tour on November 21, 2011 with 4 adults and 2 children after arriving in Reykjavik that AM from the States. Pick up from the owner Becca was as scheduled. She is friendly, kind, funny and genuinely part of the hi-lite of the tour! We were given detailed instructions about riding the horses before getting on them, thankfully, as each of us had only ridden horses a couple of times. Becca ensured that we were comfortable with riding before venturing on. The scenery was beautiful and the ride was a perfect pace. It was a great way to spend our first afternoon in Iceland! Thank you for such an awesome experience!

“AWESOME PEOPLE AND A GREAT TIME”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2011

Had great time with Begga and her Family. She took into fact that out of my group of 3 we had all levels of riding experience -- Me with the most, one novice and one just above novice level. she took her time explained everything and did not make any of us feel uncomfortable at all.

We had a great time and had some AWESOME views and photos of the surrounding area.

When i take my daughters with me next time we will be visiting Islenski Hesturinn, The Icelandic Horse again.

A must do when in Reykjavik.

Almost all of the reviews are positive for this horseriding activity. They reflect on the genuine experience they had, service offered and whether if it is up to their personal expectations. From what I can infer through all the reviews, the tourists felt that is was worth their time and many recommended this activity to the readers.
