Transylvania Trail

5 star rating   11 July 2026

Paola (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) Absolutely amazing | The riding was really good! Our lead guide Ugne was absolutely amazing. She was super fun, knowledgeable and did her job flawlessly. The horses were really well taken care of and all had their own personalities.
The views were breathtaking!!
The only thing I missed was full galloping and a little race but I understand why the don’t do that anymore.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The food was amazing and I had really nice rooms. In some accommodations the water pressure was quite low, that is the only thing I can think about that wasn’t perfect.


Before Your Holiday

Did you have all of the information you needed to:

Plan and prepare for your holiday?
5 star rating
Feel comfortable about your transfers and what to expect?

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

Maybe double check if any information had changed. The route changes a little depending on the farmers. We could not race anymore as the horses got too hot and as the farm lands have changed a bit it was not suitable ground either.
[In The Saddle comments - the route can indeed change depending on local conditions. There are a couple of places where you can spread out and take your own line, but the guides do not encourage racing.]
