“Wonderful experience, horses are beautiful, a must if in cordoba”
Ride across Hurghada’s desert and shoreline with guides such as Yusuf, Didi, Hassan, or Mahmoud. Choose a calm two-hour ride, sunrise breakfast, quad biking, sunset dinner and stargazing, or a four-hour swim with your horse. Hotel pickup, helmets, and level-based guidance are available.

At Jerez’s Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, you’ll watch a 90-minute performance built around classical dressage, cattle-herding techniques, carriage driving, work in hand, and a coordinated carousel. Shows vary by day, with six to eight choreographies and Spanish narration.
“Amazing show! I had a little trouble booking this because Viator was asking for passport information. I called and was able to book by phone without passport info with a very nice lady on the phone. The show itself was amazing! It was expensive taking a taxi from the cruise port. Be very careful determining the taxi charges, better yet, use Uber. It’s about 30-40 minute ride from the cruise port. We had cabby wait for us which was way more expensive than the cabbie initially promised.”
Spend four hours at Chez Ali outside Marrakech for a five-course Moroccan dinner in a caidal tent, live music, Berber folklore, acrobats, belly dancers, and the dramatic Fantasia horse show. Hotel and riad pickup is included, with English or French-speaking drivers.
“Excellent! We booked thus for our 25th Wedding Anniversary night, our Guide Ahmed was fantastic. Made us feel totally at ease and helped to enhance the whole experience.”
At Finca El Cartujano, Salvador Sanchez leads a lively equestrian show with more than 15 family-raised Cartujano horses. Choose the horse show alone or the full evening with stable time, paella, wine or soft drinks, and 55 minutes of live flamenco. Bus pickup is available from several Costa del Sol stops.
“Really enjoyed the show was great to be able to go round the stables and meet the horses”
Watch Córdoba Ecuestre’s Andalusian horses and skilled riders perform classical dressage alongside flamenco dancing in the sixteenth-century Royal Stables. The show lasts about 70 minutes, announcements are in English, and an early training or premium-seat option may add a closer look at the horses.
“We loved the premium seats and the opportunity to see the horses close up before the show began. It’s worth it to pay that little bit extra. The riders were brilliant and the flamenco dancer just gorgeous”
At A Campo Abierto, watch Torrestrella bulls, calves, mares, foals, and a stallion at El Carrascal ranch. Then see Alvaro Domecq horses and riders perform classical and countryside dressage. The 1.5-hour show has seating in sun or shade, multilingual hosts, free parking, and wheelchair access.
At El Ranchito in Torremolinos, you can tour the stables, meet the Spanish horses, and watch a 90-minute arena show pairing dressage with flamenco. Add dinner, drinks, a second flamenco performance, and optional bus pickup from Málaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, or Fuengirola.
“Amazing horse show especially if you like horses! A good evening out for everyone. Definitely recommend 😀”
Travel from Seville to Jerez and Cádiz in a small group of up to 20. Tour Bodegas Díez-Mérito, taste several sherries, add the Royal Andalusian School horse show, then enjoy a guided walk and free time in Cádiz. Guides such as Petra and Manuel are noted for lively commentary.
“I cannot recommend this trip or this tour company because it was incredibly disorganized from start to finish. We were given incorrect times made to walk very long distances and throughout the day not told clear instructions on what to expect at what times and where to be. I felt that I could have made much better use of the day going solo than with this tour.”
Leave Budapest for Kecskemét and a traditional farm near Lajosmizse. Your live guide explains Hungarian country life, then you enjoy goulash, grilled chicken, wine, palinka, a skilled horse show, and a horse-carriage ride. Hotel pickup is optional.
“Gabriella was an excellent guide and the horse show was fantastic!”
At Club Hípico El Ranchito, José Carlos González Guerrero directs a 90-minute equestrian ballet with 20 trained horses, Spanish music, Andalusian costumes, and a short flamenco performance. Arrive early to see the stables. The show runs Wednesdays at 17:45.
“It was a tad difficult to find, but once there the show was amazing. The horses were gorgeous. A wonderful spectacle for any horse lover!”
Spend about two hours on Dubai Creek aboard a traditional wooden dhow, with a vegetarian and nonvegetarian buffet, drinks, music, dance, and a horse show. Choose the upper deck for open-air views or the lower deck for a more sheltered meal. Pickup is available with selected options.
“The views were unbelievable! The host went above and beyond to ensure everything was on point! Excellent food, amazing shows, great atmosphere! Would highly recommend”
Spend 10 hours exploring Jerez and Cadiz from Seville. Tour a working bodega, taste several sherries, and choose an Andalusian horse show before a guided walk and free time in Cadiz. Guides such as Manuel, Petra, Marcel, and Lucas have earned praise for clear local insight.
“We loved this tour. The Sherry tasted fantastic, the horse show was incredible, and Cadiz was beautiful. I would have liked to have spent more time in Cadiz. Our tour guide explained some of the historical parts of the city as we were leaving town. I wish they had done this on our way into town so that we could have known where we wanted to spend our time there. That is my only criticism.”
See José Carlos González Guerrero’s Andalusian horse ballet at El Ranchito, paired with Spanish music, traditional costumes, and flamenco. The 90-minute show runs on Wednesdays, with coach pickup from Malaga, Torremolinos, Benalmádena, and Fuengirola, plus return transport.
“The all show was great and beautiful. A very nice souvenir.Amazing and clever horses which seems to enjoy their work. The only problem I had was that when I contacted the Spanish Company to arrange a pick up point I was told that my name wasn't included and that I had to go by taxi which I did. Kind Regards”
Travel privately from Bishkek around Issyk-Kul with guides such as Maksat, Ulan, or Mars. Visit Burana Tower, Fairy Tale Canyon, Barskoon waterfalls, and Chon-Kemin, then meet an eagle hunter, ride horses, eat Kyrgyz food, and sleep in a yurt.
“The whole tour was an amazing experience. We had a wonderful time driving around the "Issyk Kul Lake", stopping by many stunning places. We had the feeling that we were really in touch with the Kyrgyz culture. Very Recommended.”
Pick a shoreline, a canyon or a driving seat.
