I’d like to say a big thank you for the absolutely amazing and unforgettable holiday! Everything was perfect and truly wonderful – from the hotels and the food to the riding routes, and of course, the adorable and impressive horses! Thank you so much for organizing it all! You’re a fantastic team ☺️
Sending warm greetings from Kiel and wishing you continued joy and success with Panorama Trails 🐴
Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful trip we had! The planning was very easy, with payment links, packing list, and good communication. The food and wine were the best! Full service including glassware, china, flowers, and a buffet were so unexpected and fabulous when we were on the trail! Charming and SO delicious!
Our accommodations were excellent! Beautiful to charming, each had great attributes! I think we all really enjoyed our first stay with Laura and Anna! Everything was so homey and welcoming!
The horses were amazing! They were always everyone’s priority, well cared for and loved. We all swore that Gisela had a magic ball when she picked our horse assignment! We all loved our picks and felt they were perfect matches for us! I felt safe, and our guides knew our horses and their quirks. They gave us riding tips to handle horses that were new to us and our usual style of riding. We actually cried when it came time to leave our horses and our guides who became our friends. The horses’ stamina and hard work amazed us. They knew their jobs so well and seemed happy.
Our guides were absolutely the best!! We only got hints of the huge amount of work they did to coordinate all the details. Our trip was complicated by the flooding, but we barely knew. Alternate plans were already in place. The logistics were mind numbing, but all quietly and efficiently arranged! An impressive feat! We felt like our guides really knew us. They kept us laughing, encouraged us, and kept us on track! Gisela was so enthusiastic, energetic, fun, and charming! Luis was calm, hilarious, and confident. Om was so soulful, loved the horses, and just showed up magically at your side if you needed help. He saw everything.
All in all, I could go on for days, but, just an amazing trip! Would recommend highly! Please share with Rudy what a wonderful trip, wonderful horses, and wonderful staff! This company is a winner! Well done!!!!
Immense gratitude for an unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
This riding holiday far exceeded my expectations. I will never forget my week exploring the Costa Brava with seven other amazing ladies from Germany, Ireland and Denmark.
Thank you Rudy for leading us on this adventure, the attention to detail was 'super' and your horses had the hearts of lions and the surest of feet, carrying us high into mountains through fields of budding wildflowers and on some days, challenging terrain I have never ridden before.
Thanks to Danielle for answering all of my questions initially, you are the reason I booked this trail, and also a special thanks to Om for your quiet work in the background, both as support for the horses and in your preparation of the most delicious lunch picnics, I will be making gazpacho at home now!
Hello Daniela,
Back from a wonderful horseback riding vacation, I am left with many beautiful memories and images of a stunning landscape, along with well-trained, friendly, and motivated horses. Unfortunately, it went by too quickly as always, and saying goodbye was hard for me. Many thanks again for your support and organization.
Warm regards,
Hello Panorama Trails!
As you know I was with a group of 7 women and we did the Path of Herdsman with Luis.
The trip was a great adventure! I loved my horse Xiernado. I liked how the terrain was always changing from the Catalonia Jungle, the Garrotxa, and the Pyrenees. The overnight accommodations were fantastic, with comfortable beds and hot showers. I love that the hotels were in ancient towns with lots of history and charm. Riding into Beget was one of the highlights for me. I loved riding in the cobblestone streets and up the cobblestone steps. The sights and sounds were spectacular!
The food was so deelish and I like how we got to experience the local foods, wines and cava! I even tried pig's ears and it was very good. And the wine was plentiful!
I think the ride was probably more physically challenging than I anticipated. The downhill descents on narrow rocky paths with a 1,000 lb. horse behind me were kind a scary, but I still loved every minute of it. We had some nice fast gallops and the horses were sure-footed and fit. I learned that being in the saddle for 7 hours a day is harder than I thought it was going to be. But I felt fit enough, energized and excited to ride each day.
I liked riding over the high mountains and seeing herds of cows, flocks of sheep, shepherds & their dogs, humans picking mushrooms, etc. The solitude and beauty of that area were notable!
I give huge credit to Luis for guiding us on our adventure every day. He is a true gem and a great asset to your guide service!!! He is capable, kind & patient, and has many talents. He knows the trails and also gave us great information about the local area and the politics. He made sure we had everything we needed and that we were having fun. He has great horsemanship and also exhibited good riding skills. We wondered why he waited til the last night to pull out his guitar and sing for us. His music was amazing and we were all mesmerized! I hope you know how lucky Panorama Trails is to have him. Nacho did a great job also with transporting supplies for horses and luggage for humans. Luis and Nacho are a great team!
Thank you for providing such an amazing adventure in the beautiful Catalonia region of Spain. I am so glad I chose the Path of Herdsman, as it was challenging, beautiful, and SO fun!!! I felt very accomplished and proud of my group of ladies for rising to the challenge and embracing the great adventure. We had a blast!
