The World’s 4 Best Madrid Horseback Riding Tours

1.Horse Riding Madrid Natural Park

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 141 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Leave Madrid for a 2 to 2.5-hour guided ride through the Sierra de Guadarrama. Mariano leads small groups of up to six riders along dirt roads, rocky paths, and grassy mountain trails. Horses, helmets, insurance, water, and a soda are included. Beginners are welcome, but long pants, basic English or Spanish, and a minimum age of 12 apply.

“It was a great time and a nice way to see something other than Madrid. It is beautiful country not too far from the city. The horses were amazing as was our guide. If you take the bus-you go inside and downstairs to get on the 691. Go early as there is a long line. You need to tell the bus driver to let you off-they do not stop at every stop. $3 euro each way, easy and clean buses.”
