可以试一下

比在国内骑马便宜许多。一路风景很美,马很乖,但是也很懒,最快是小跑。如果可以有一段策马奔驰就更好了。

would come back again!

safe, interesting, relaxing! Joe is an experienced, knowledgeable guide. I enjoy the view as well as the introduction given by Joe. My son has never been so happy and one of his best photo in the trip is taken in this activity. Thanks to our lovely guide. 安全,有趣,放松之旅! Joe一位很有经验也很博学的向导。我非常喜欢那边的风景,也很享受就给我介绍的一切。从山名到各种鸟名,从兔患到猎枪,从滑雪到赛车。我儿子超级开心,我们旅行中最棒的一张照片就是在骑马时候拍摄的。非常感谢我们的可爱向导。

非常棒的体验

Awesome! 非常棒的体验,因为开车走错路我们迟到了半个小时,但骑马的时间并没有因为迟到缩短。工作人员非常好,耐心讲解骑马的安全事项,沿途介绍风景,还帮忙拍照片。骑马的时候不小心弄丢了手机,工作人员也帮忙找回来了。马都很听话,很安全。值得一试!
