GUEST REVIEWS
Marine (France) - Formule bivouacs Octobre 2022

Accueil aux petits soins, nous n'avons rien eu à gerer, uniquement à se laisser porter.
Marmoud (le guide) et Amhed (son binome) sont très accueillant, bienveillants et disponibles. On partage de vrais beaux moments d'échange. Marmoud assure parfaitement la gestion de la sécurité des cavaliers.
Les chevaux sont en très bon état et le guide en prend vraiment soin. On sent qu'il les aime, qu'il les préserve au maximum durant la semaine, qu'il prend soin d'eux. Il est très vigilant sur leur état, leur laisse le temps de récupérer, ils sont bien nourris et choyer.
Selle avec peau de mouton fournie, top confort !
Nous avons très bien mangé.
La nuit à la belle étoile est spartiate mais c'est exactement ce que l'on vient chercher dans ce genre d'experience !
Gestion de mon inscription par Cap Rando Cheval: Suivi fluide, dossier de voyage parfait, rien à redire !
En bref: Un séjour magique, loin de tout, où ne règne que la sérénité. Une semaine riche de rencontres, de découvertes, de plats locaux et gourmets, d'échanges, de rires, de sensations, de liberté. On en prend plein les yeux et plein le coeur. Un bonheur !
