(4.0)Schöner Ausflug für Fortgeschrittene
Ganz toller Ausritt Richtung Strand mit Badepause. Der Guide hat schöne Fotos gemacht und immer mit Ratschlägen zur Seite gestanden. Die Tiere sind in einem sehr guten Zustand; das Material müsste aber mal überholt werden. Am Sattel standen leider schon die Nägel raus.

(4.0)Guter Preis und gute Organisation!
Wir waren im Urlaub im Royal Dragon Hotel in Side. Mit Vigo Tours haben wir Reiten am Strand gebucht. Alles hat perfekt geklappt. Es waren viele Pferde im Reitclub und jedes sah gut und glücklich aus :) Vigo Tour ist eine gute Reiseagentur in Side. Unsere Freunde in Deutschland haben uns empfohlen. Transferwagen war nicht so gut, aber es ist nicht so lange vom Hotel entfernt, also ist es okay:)
