# 1+ hour Private Horse riding tour from Reykjavík/Mosfellsbær

In our comparison: #6 of 14 in Horse Riding, by rating weighted by review volume (table below).

## Overview

*Escape the crowds - Private riding tour* 

Experience riding an Icelandic horse and learn about the traditions around horsemanship in Iceland. Our little farm is located just 20 minutes from downtown Reykjavík - but still you feel like you are at the countryside when you arrive with us. We only have few horses and our riding centre is very small, that way we feel we can keep the atmosphere personal and authentic. This is a private tour, so it can be customized to your riding level. 

Suitable for both beginners and advanced riders.

Full riding time is roughly one hour.
