Tour provider's comments

As carriage driving is a skill you are therefore expected to have some experience in driving. If you not really have experience in driving a carriage, but you are a horse person with experience, then of course you are welcome

    I’ve been on four of Paul's tours, and each time he surpasses my expectations. He’s incredibly friendly, upbeat, and fun to be around. Every tour has been fantastic, so I couldn’t possibly choose a favorite. I highly recommend his tours!

    Unforgettable Adventures I’ve had the privilege of going on two remarkable horseback riding trips with Paul, and I can’t recommend them enough! (Check out the photos I’ve included to catch a glimpse of these incredible experiences.) Andes Trail Ride from Chile to Argentina: This ride was truly spectacular. We journeyed through the awe-inspiring Andes, crossing from Chile into Argentina. The scenery was breathtaking, with towering mountains, crystal-clear rivers, and lush valleys. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, always making sure we were safe and comfortable. This adventure offered a unique and unforgettable way to immerse ourselves in the chilly beauty of the Andes. Gaucho do Brasil Trail Ride in Southern Brazil, Santa Catarina State: It was another amazing experience. Riding through the stunning landscapes of Santa Catarina, we were immersed in the vibrant culture and traditions of the Brazilian gauchos. The trail led us through diverse terrains, from wide-open plains to dense forests, showcasing a variety of beautiful views. The local gauchos were incredibly welcoming, sharing their way of life and treating us to delicious traditional meals. The well-cared-for horses made the ride smooth and enjoyable, blending adventure, culture, and natural beauty perfectly.
