GUEST REVIEWS
Hélène et Quentin (France) - Septembre 2021

Rando très sympathique avec des chevaux passe partout, confortables et tres calmes. Les chevaux sont choyés par les guides. Guides très disponibles et responsables dans la gestion du groupe de cavaliers. Hébergement simple, repas simples mais copieux et tres bons. Une très belle experience que nous recommandons :)

Olivier (France) - Juin 2021

Bon accueil, repas du soir : gardianne exceptionnelle !
Très beaux paysages, bons chevaux...
 

Jean-Philippe (France) - Mai 2021

Excellent séjour équestre en Camargue, le mas est simple et accueillant, on y sent un " vécu" authentique qui corresponds bien à l'esprit randonnée nature. Le programme des 3 jours est bien conçu, avec des paysages et terrains variés. le rythme est actif permettant à la fois de belles galopades et de bons moments d'observation. Les chevaux sont dynamiques avec un mental top, facile, bien dans leur peau. Nos 2 guides ont été impeccables dans des styles très différents , très professionnelles. L'accueil et l'attention de la propriétaire est agréable, présente en préservant notre indépendance.
Nous sommes venus à 4 pour cette randonnée qui restera sûrement une petite exception dans les séjours du mas, avec la participation de Raymond, 90 ans, qui s'est régalé de cette escapade sur Napoléon, son compagnon de chemin.

Elisa (France) - Juillet 2020

Au top ! J'ai adoré monter Poumba. Les chevaux sont bien dans leur tête, cela se voit et se ressent. Harnachement: Rien à redire, tout est là et bien entretenu. Hébergement: Niquel aussi, confortable et bien équipée. J'AI ADORE, je referai sans hésiter, tant pour l'ambiance du groupe, que pour les paysages et pour les chevaux. Je le conseillerai sans en douter.

Véronique (France) - Juin 2020

Cadre très agréable, logement bien, terrain fleuri et arboré, gentils chiens et chats, très bon accueil. Mon cheval Acosso un amour et très bonne monture.

Martine (France) – October 2018

Very friendly atmosphere, well-dressed horses, safe riding, very clean accommodation and comfortable bed, very welcoming, great discovery of the wild Camargue. Cap Rando Services: very good response to a change of date.

Carla (France) – October 2018

An awesome stay in a magnificent setting! An excellent welcome, superb ridess, unforgettable moments. Thank you for these 3 days!

Cristina (Italie) – October 2018

Ride in really beautiful places and really competent and expert guide. Excellent welcome, excellent cook, very kind and helpful staff.

Dany (France) – Juin 2018

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) – Mai 2018

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.

Margherita (France) – Octobre 2018

Le confort est très simple mais bien nettoyé. Très belles ballades en Camargue. Professionnalité garantie.

Florence (France) – Avril 2018

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) – Septembre 2017

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.
