Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Our ride was very easy. We took two kids with us and they had the time of their lives. The horses are very gentle an easy-going. They didn’t have a problem with the kids riding them or the adults. Our tour guide was very sweet. She made sure to give us instructions of how to guide the horses and also took pictures of us throughout the tour and sent them to us. Very great experience. We will be going back.

We were pretty excited about booking this, and it lived up to its expectations.
We were a little concerned after we did the booking that we didn't have a specific "address" to meet the host at to start the ride. We had a bit of back and forth texts about various things, and we kept asking for an "address". What we got was coordinates, which concerned us. It shouldn't have, as when we put the coordinates into Uber (and maps) it gave a specific location of the Uber driver to take us.
We were met by Charlie, right on time. He then set us up, saddling horses, doing the paperwork, getting water etc. We then rode off (literally) into the sunset.
We rode for the solid hour as advertised, in the beautiful hills. It was a fairly sedentary ride, which was good given that 3 of us hadn't been on horses before the and other 2 minimal. The horses were very well mannered and it was a pleasure spending the time with them.
After the ride we had a basic bbq dinner, with ribs, corn bread, beans and a blueberry pie.
My notes to anyone looking to do this ride are: 1. make sure you arrange your transport and get there on time (or slightly early). 2. Don't freak out about the coordinates, they work in Uber/Lyft etc. 3. Enjoy the experience and don't read too much into anything else.

You did not arrange transportation with us. You canceled your tour at the time it started. It states we do not provide transportation in the pricing at time of booking. We sent directions and a map and even a map / directions how to use uber. We sent our address multiple times. You confirmed you knew where to go but you just did mot want to come to us. If you did not know where we were then how else would you have known we were 30 minutes from Luxor? Your review is not accurate and is incorrect.

The horses looked exhausted and poorly groomed.. the trail guides only make tips, forced to ask their customers for! The owner has a childish attitude and WILL argue.

Hi! Not sure why you wrote this review since you did not experience our tour. Not sure how you’d know our guides payment arrangement but The trail guides don’t only make tips. We have a sign at the trail site that states “ if you enjoyed your ride please tip your guide”. That’s not begging or forcing tips it’s just a sign since we are in Las Vegas which is a Tipping state. Our horses are featured in magazines, commercials, films and music videos for their beauty. They are very well groomed because they are also show horses therefore they are not poorly groomed. The horses have days off and are not overworked like other companies therefore they are not exhausted just very well behaved horses. The owner is not onsite and doesn’t handle clients only the guide does at the tour site so there’s no way of you getting a childish attitude or argument from owner. Either this review was meant for a different company or your someone writing a false review? Please remove before legal action is taken for a false review of our company.

The breakfast offered is in the middle off the trash and flys. The ride is really boring. I don’t recommend at all. It is too expensive.

Hi
Breakfast is offered on dining tables and chairs:) we don’t feed clients in trash. We are not in control of the flies as we’re in a desert for the tours( all trail rides are conducted in the desert in vegas lol) but we do not have a fly issue as our horses are not kept by the eating area. The tour has a volcano, views of three different mountains, red rock formations, green plants everywhere, cute rabbits and ground squirrels etc. We are sorry you found it boring :(. Our guides try hard to keep guests entertained on the tours. Glad your had a safe tour on our beautiful horses.

Super unprofessional. We texted to confirm and then they tried moving us to multiple different times because of a heat advisory at our scheduled time and when we said we couldn’t because we had other reservations and we felt uncomfortable about the heat advisory and wanted a refund, they avoided it completely and then never answered. Multiple phone calls and texts (which I have saved) and they completely ignored them. If they couldn’t give a refund they should’ve at least answered back and said they couldn’t but they chose to ignore us completely after reaching out multiple times. Don’t waste your money. Not sure why they’re offering certain times if they’re going to try to move people to different times because of heat. We never ended up going because they never answered and decided to completely ignore us. Very unprofessional

Hi! The reason we offered a different time was because Las Vegas was experiencing higher than normal temperatures for June. There was not a heat advisory just warmer than normal. Because of the unusual change in weather ( which we could not have predicted) we offered you a FREE upgraded tour for the evening ride. Your group stated you did not want the upgraded time and would keep the 1 pm ride time so we told you that you can still come to the 1 pm time slot you booked since you didn’t want the upgraded tour. Your group then insisted that you cancel and get a refund for the tour that was scheduled to happen within 24 hours. The issue with this was that we had saved these spots for your group and with in a 24 hour period we do not issue refunds. You then texted us and threatened that you were Attorneys from Manhattan and would handle our small horse business. At that point since you had stated you were canceling multiple times we stopped communication as the tour was canceled and we don’t appreciate threats because your group changed their minds about riding. When you signed up to ride you agreed to these policies.

Was the worst ride tour I have ever been on. Grace was very rude and mean to the horses. She smacked one of them and told him “to back your ass up” in front of paying customers. One of our party was not feeling well land was offered a unopened bottle of water and grace proceeded to tell us “No she can wait to get back to trailer. I have water”. Which turned out to be the horses drinking water to which she told customer “Go dunk our head in the horses water barrel” which had flies flying around it. The horses were great. I’m sure this place is great from the reviews I read but Grace is not.
