Very easy riding for some great scenery in the mountains. Gregory and Timmy showed us around the farm - horses, rabbits, garden. Thanks to Gregory's wife for the best lunch in Greece! Great for all ages! More

I have never been on a horse and never thought i would come to crete for a horse back riding tour but I'm glad I visited Gregory at Finikia Horse Riding Tour's. I originally found Finikia through Trip Advisor and was astonished by the amount of excellent reviews so I had to test it out and all the reviews and... More

When you read the rating of the "visitor reviews" and EVERYONE OF THEM is "excellent" you know you cannot miss this event. This is our 2nd time in Crete and our 2nd trip with Gregory.His love of people and horses is obvious as he makes each rider feel comfortable and at ease whether you are an experienced rider or a...

We were the first trip of the season for Gregory and it was fantastic. The ride into the mountains was glorious - the area is beautiful and the views from the top are fabulous. There was an opportunity for a gallop for the more experienced riders and great care was taken of everyone. The wagon ride was a little bumpy... More

The season has barely started but Gregory went out of his way to open the riding centre and organise a hack for eight of us. I'd read the reviews and this adventure more than met my expectations. After a welcome coffee and a steady walk up into the hills there was time for a speedy canter at the top and... More

I'm nothing short of a jerk for waiting over 6 months to write this review. Gregory and his crew deserved it the very next day. He personally arranged everything with me via email, very promptly and very efficiently. He picked us up at the hotel, on time, and immediately had us laughing. We were the final pickup, and it was... More

We had a wonderful excursion starting at Gregory’s stables. He enthusiastically introduced the various horses to us and recommended the appropriate horses based on our build and experiences. The excursion into the country side took us about 2.5 hrs. We enjoyed the ride with the nice horses, beautiful scenery and cool weather! Glad that Gregory helped us took a number... More

This Granny did not think she could still go on a horse but Gregory insisted and I thoroughly enjoyed it apart from the laughter and fun and Timmy and the lovely food made by Gregory's sister.It was a day never to be forgotten and hope to be able to do it again.The rest of the group were great too but...

As our Star Cruise anchored in Crete, we hit the mainland for a horseriding tour with Finikia Hosre Riding company. We want to see and experience this country with this very fun and worthtrying transportation – by horses. We can ride horses so we didn’t take the wagon like the others. After more than an hour, we got to the... More
