Breath of the Highlands - Iceland

Breath of the Highlands

5 star rating   1 July 2023

Bob who has been on 16 In The Saddle rides. One of the Best | I rode 9 different ponies during the course of the holiday and whilst obviously I liked some more than others they were all enjoyable/challenging in their own ways, and they were clearly very well cared for.

How could we improve the quality of pre-holiday information that we send?

The packing list seemed a little out of date, e.g. lunch boxes and head nets were provided.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Thank you very much for letting us know, we have requested an upated packing list from the ride operator.]


How could we improve the way we handled your booking and payment?

It's a shame that ITS no longer offer to arrange the full package, i.e. including flights and any pre/post hotel accommodation.
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: Since we are riding holiday specialists, this is what we have decided to focus on but we are more than happy to provide advice on flights and hotels.]


Do you have any other feedback for us?

This was an excellent holiday - certainly amongst the best I've been on with ITS.
The hosts were fun and did all they could to ensure that I had a great time, and I certainly did!
[Becky from In The Saddle replies: We are so pleased to hear this Bob 🙂 Thank you for your feedback]
