Amazing

An extraordinary morning. We rode at dawn across the West Bank plain, with the temperature still cool and the light turning golden over the Theban hills. Our guide — a local man whose family has farmed this land for generations — took us along routes most tourists never see. Passing the entrance to the Valley of the Kings on horseback, with no other visitors around, was one of the most quietly powerful experiences I've had. The horses were wiry Arabians, sure-footed on the desert paths.

There are few moments in riding that stop your breath completely — cantering past the Sphinx at sunrise is one of them. The horse I rode was a chestnut Arab called Layla, spirited but responsive. The guide knew the terrain well and took us off the main tourist path to quieter desert. Horse welfare is adequate rather than exceptional — these horses work hard — but the ones I saw were in reasonable condition. The experience itself is utterly unforgettable.

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The organisation was flawless — every detail had been considered. The horses were in remarkable condition, well-trained and clearly well cared for. Our guide had ridden the route dozens of times and knew every shortcut, every good lunch spot, every family who'd welcome us in for mint tea. I've ridden with several operators worldwide and In The Saddle is in a different league.

We're not experienced riders but we wanted to try a beach ride during our holiday. The guides were patient, the horses were gentle, and the canter along the beach at sunset was magical. The Algarve coast from horseback is extraordinary. Would be wonderful for more experienced riders too — but absolutely perfect for our level. A highlight of the holiday.

A brilliant experience overall. The Icelandic horses were incredible — sturdy, willing, and remarkably smooth in tölt. The landscapes were otherworldly. Organisation from Ride World Wide was straightforward and professional, if not particularly personal. Good value for the quality of experience delivered.
