Thank you for a wonderful week horseback riding in a most beautiful surrounding. The guide was great and the horses are heroes: brave, sweet, and reliable! I would love to come back!

I would like to thank you very much for the beautiful holiday with you in Catalonia. It was my first adventure on horseback and right from day one a great experience. Rudi has taken good care of all of the girls, and he has guided us safely through the wonderful landscape. Daniel’s service was also a special experience because he was so prudent, affectionate towards the horses and a helping hand whenever he noticed that somebody needed his support. The picnics…we will do this on our yard as well…ABSOLUTELY…we also URGENTLY need saddle bags and, even more important…..CAVA STRAPSs :) Well, and the accommodations…even sensitivities like gluten intolerance have been respected. I felt it was almost embarrassing so that I said to Judith: don’t worry, I will simply endure it…no, they were even prepared for this…I was really touched…This trail is one of the best things I have ever done! My most heartfelt thanks to all those involved who work with so much heart and enthusiasm!

Best regards from Austria, Ottensheim an der Donau!

This was my seventh trail with Panorama-Trails and the biggest adventure yet. I had thought about doing this trail over the last couple of years and decided to take the plunge. I’m so glad I did!

Everything you read on this guest review page is correct. This trail has the lot: great riding on truly exceptional horses, stunning scenery, wonderful food, and a highly-expert trail guide in Rudi. All so perfectly organised that it runs like clockwork. (In truth all of Rudi’s trails have these qualities, but on the more ambitious Andorra trail they are magnified).

A special mention goes to Danny, Nacho and Albert, the support team who worked so very hard to prepare the camps and the superb food and drink at the end of a long day’s ride. Thanks to them the shepherds’ huts where we ate dinner were a clean and cosy sanctuary. As for the delightful chapel, it must have taken them hours to light all those candles! Still it made for a romantic atmosphere: two members of our group were unofficially married in that chapel! But that’s another story!

A bonus was a stay at the hotel and restaurant run by David, the amiable chef who prepares the food on the Gourmet Trail. Of course the food there was truly excellent. Thank you, David!

This trail is tough but rewarding and absolutely worth the effort. So do what I did – take the plunge!

This ride is right up there with the Namib Desert trail as one of the best trail rides in the world. Quite simply if you enjoy trail riding; well mannered, hard fit horses; a small group of experienced riders; flawless organisation; magnificient scenery; changing terrain; challenging riding; a knowledgeable and entertaining guide; good food; and you don't mind roughing it a bit, then you must do this ride.

You will have an unforgetable experience.

Since I was a youngster on my grandfather’s farm in Louisiana, I’ve imagined myself on horseback in the wild countryside, but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined the excitement and wonder that we experienced on this challenging riding trek. We were captivated by the Catalan culture and awed by the majestic forests and mountain landscapes that unfolded each day. The horses on this ride were extremely fit and always seemed to enjoy their work as much as their quiet time at the end of the day.

Rudy and his staff provided us just enough personal attention to boost our confidence and reward the very long days in the saddle. Throughout the 11 day ride, our group was constantly monitored and coached to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for both horse and rider. Rudy and Danny went out of their way to provide us a fun and worry-free holiday environment, comfortable accommodations and generous supplies of delicious food and wine at every picnic stop and camp site; for that we are truly grateful.

Salute, survivors!
