GUEST REVIEWS
Joelle (France) - July 2023

Very nice welcome. Aurelis was a super guide who was very attentive to her riders, especially my 11-year-old granddaughter. the landscapes were there, especially the protected area to the east of Saintes Maries. A very pleasant ride with varied paces.
No problem with security, safe horses and a guide who is always attentive to both her horses and her riders.
Chaman and Ibis are excellent touring horses, very reliable, very nice, dynamic with good gaits.
Very comfortable Canadian type saddles in perfect condition. Horse tack also in perfect condition and very well maintained.
Very correct accommodation with all the necessary comfort, good meals.
Very good stay with quality and very reliable horses, a guide very invested in her role, very attentive to her riders but also to her horses. a riding center that I recommend, we will return with pleasure.
Cap Rando services: Functional site, quick and easy registration, no problem.
The site is well designed, easy to register, the travel file should be easily accessible at all times, which for me was not the case, but it was sent to me very quickly, so excellent responsiveness from the managers.

Corinne (France) - June 2023

Very pleasant welcome
Aurélys is very professional and adapted to my physical level, which allowed me to fully enjoy the stay. Everything is done for everyone's safety: advice, recommendations throughout the stay.
The horses are treated very well, with great respect. My horse, Napoleon, was perfect: calm, gentle, while being responsive...a cream  !! Particularly comfortable saddle.
Rustic cottage, but pleasantly furnished. Breakfast and evening meal correct and convivial.
An excellent weekend and lots of fun rediscovering the Camargue on horseback.
The team showed great kindness.
Cap Rando services: Excellent quality of the site, with a lot of information on the region, the possibilities of additional accommodation... Follow-up of the file nickel!

Martine (France)

Ambiance très sympathique, chevaux bien mis, promenade en toute sécurité, hébergement très propre et lit confortable, très bon accueil, belle découverte de la Camargue sauvage. Services Cap Rando : très bonne réponse à une changement de date.

Dany (France)

Très bon accueil sur le centre et son équipe de pro, les chevaux au top, les paysages féeriques, le rêve en somme. Dommage que nous n'ayons pas su à l'avance le lieu où nous allions car nous y aurions passé une nuit de plus, ce qui nous aurait bien arrangé venant de loin. La chambre petite mais très confortable et le repas un régal. Un havre de paix dans une nature généreuse. Les chevaux sont tous en excellent état. Merci pour cet excellent séjour à notre guide pour son professionnalisme et son grand savoir sur les rites et traditions Camarguaises qui nous a fait découvrir une région sauvage où la nature, la faune, la flore ont toutes leur place dans un décor de rêve inoubliable.

Nathalie (France)

J'ai réservé un week-end de randonnée en Camargue et je recommande fortement Cap Rando. L'organisation était top, le service remarquable et les personnes très arrangeantes.

Florence (France

Nous sommes ravies de notre séjour. L'accueil était parfait, les gens passionnés, simples, accueillants sans pour autant être "trop touristiques". Juste ce qu'il faut. Un grand merci à eux ! Mon cheval était excellent. Bon de l’hébergement. Je recommande le centre de tourisme équestre pour la qualité de son accueil, de ses programmes de randonnées, de la convivialité de toute l'équipe ainsi que de son professionnalisme. Je retournerai avec plaisir en séjour chez eux !!! Merci à Mr Simonot de Cap Rando pour sa disponibilité et sa réactivité.

Sylvie (Belgique)

Bonjour, Quelques jours se sont écoulés depuis notre retour de week-end. Nous avons été enchantées. Réellement. Nous avons découvert la vraie Camargue, rencontré des personnes généreuses et entières. Les paysages étaient magnifiques, les chevaux au top, un guide super. L’équipe va nous manquer, son gratin dauphinois aussi. Nous parlons déjà d'une prochaine fois, et au même endroit. Merci pour votre orientation. Nous avons chacune réalisé un rêve d'enfance, et vous y aurez contribué. Merci. Les 4 jeunes belges.
