In two hours we covered several valleys and caught the fairy chimneys at sunset; the guide was calm and informative, but we waited a bit at the start.
Wanjiku N. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
Our guide made us feel calm the moment we got on the horses and we just moved. In only 2 hours it felt like we covered Rose Valley trails, fairy chimneys, and those sunset-red rocks all in one go. My one wow moment was stopping on the ridge and watching everything turn orange as the sun dropped, so quiet. The Katalay team timed it perfectly, no wasted minutes.
Bram V. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
Sunset makes the valleys look unreal, and from the saddle we quietly traced old pigeon houses carved into the rock and worn cave facades. Our guide pointed out how the fairy chimneys formed and the faint outlines of small rock chapels, without overtalking. Near Sword Valley the light pulled out every crack and layer in the stone, like a sketch. The Katalay team kept it calm and organised, and my horse was super gentle.
Bence K. 5.0 / 5 Excellent

Before I even got on the horse, I felt like I’d walked into a movie scene. The group was tiny, so it felt kinda private, like we rented Cappadocia for the evening; no shouting, no crowd drama.

When the valley went quiet under the horses, the sunset felt kind of unreal. The group was small and relaxed, and the guide didn’t rush anyone.

Akosua B. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
Something about sitting on a horse as the valleys went quiet hit me deep. Our guide shared real stories about the fairy chimneys, old cave life, and how people once hid and prayed here, and it felt like the past was breathing next to us. When the sun dropped over Rose Valley, I got weirdly emotional. The Katalay team was calm and caring, and my horse was gentle. I’ll remember this for years.
Rochelle B. 4.0 / 5 Very Good
Riding into the valley near sunset, the rock-cut old rooms and worn arches suddenly turned gold, and it felt like passing through an abandoned settlement.

Sunset makes the valleys feel unreal, and our guide’s stories about early monks and hiding places around the fairy chimneys gave it real depth. The views near Red Valley were stunning. But the logistics were a bit messy: we waited quite a while before mounting up, and with a big group the pace felt rushed at times. Horses were calm and the team was kind, just wish the timing was smoother.

The valleys look totally different at sunset, and seeing it from a horse was honestly really nice. The guide was calm and clear, helped the beginners too. We rode through Rose Valley and the fairy chimneys turned orange. Everything started on time, group wasn’t too big. Only the helmets felt a bit old, but still ok.

He checked on everyone, cracked jokes, and shared little bits of history without making it heavy. The group honestly felt like family, no rushing, everything just clicked.

The valleys looked unreal as the sun dropped. In 2 hours we covered a lot around Rose Valley and Sword Valley, very efficient pace, and the guide shared quick bits of history. But the meeting point wait was long and the group felt crowded, so parts were rushed. Horses were calm, still the saddles weren’t super comfy. Worth it for the views, just needs tighter timing.

Riding between the fairy chimneys at sunset honestly felt like I’d wandered into a movie set. Our group was basically the UN: a couple from Spain, a mate from Korea, and me doing serious research on “how to take a selfie on a horse without looking terrified”. The guide was chill and funny, and somehow kept us all on the right track (my sense of direction is shocking). Katalay team made it all run smooth. Dust, laughs, and that orange sky… perfect.

As the sun went down the valley got so quiet, just the sound of the horses walking. The guide was calm and patient, especially with people riding for the first time.

We rode through the valleys, the fairy chimneys turned pink-orange, and I could see a few hot air balloons in the distance near Ürgüp. Two hours was just enough, though I came back a bit dusty, so be ready for that.

Riding at sunset felt unreal; the valleys turned gold and Göreme looked like it was painted. Guide was calm and helpful, but we waited a bit too long before starting.

Our guide made us feel like one little family from minute one. Joked while I was getting on my horse, calmed everyone when they got nervous. Riding toward sunset through Love Valley felt unreal. No one got left behind, he kept checking on us. Katalay team was super sweet too. 2 hours flew by.

The guide had us moving before I even finished adjusting the saddle, and we still covered a lot in 2 hours. Short but packed: through fairy chimneys, along a valley track, and the sunset view hit the spot. Easy pace, calm horses, plenty of quick stops for pics. Katalay team was super kind too, no one rushed us. Everything felt smooth, zero stress.

Seeing the valleys change colour at sunset was something else. My horse was calm, which helped because I’m not super experienced. We rode on the trails around Göreme, and the fairy chimneys looked unreal from a distance. The guide explained things in a chill way and didn’t rush anybody. Two hours went fast, a bit dusty though, but that’s part of it I guess.

At sunset, being in the valley with just a few riders felt really exclusive, but we waited a bit before starting.

Riding through the valley at sunset felt like someone turned the world to gold; Göreme went pink-orange, super pretty. The guide was calm and helpful. But we waited a long time before starting and the group was kinda big, felt a bit crowded. Nice views, just wish the timing was smoother.

My wow moment was when we climbed a narrow trail and popped out at a quiet lookout, with the fairy chimneys glowing pink behind us—my photos came out like pro shots. The guide was kind and the horses were calm. But we waited around a long time before starting, and a couple stops felt rushed, so the sunset timing wasn’t perfect.

The best part was the quiet, just hoofbeats and the evening air. The guide took us through the valleys at an easy pace and the fairy chimneys went orange at sunset. Horses were calm and they really looked after the beginners. We stopped a few times for photos and nobody rushed us. I came back a bit dusty, but worth it.

What surprised me most was how soft the colors of the valleys look on horseback at sunset. We rode out toward Rose Valley and seeing the fairy chimneys from a distance was really nice. The guide was calm and patient, and kept an eye on the beginners. My horse was a bit stubborn, but we figured each other out after a few minutes. The timing felt just right, and I ended up dusty but happy.

Sliding into the valleys on horseback at sunset felt like the easiest way to see Cappadocia without the crowds. The guide got us geared up fast, and once we left, the trails near Göreme were almost empty, just quiet views. But we waited a bit for helmets at the start, so not quite 5 stars.

As we rode into the valley at sunset, everything suddenly felt quiet. The horses were gentle and I felt safe even as a beginner. Passing the fairy chimneys with a few balloons drifting far away was really beautiful. The team didn’t rush us, just a calm pace. It got dusty, but I guess that’s part of it.

Funniest part was being picked up from my hotel while I was still half-asleep; the air-conditioned bus basically turned me back into a person. Everything ran super smooth, no waiting around. The guide gave a few quick stories, then we rode into the valleys near Göreme and caught the sunset. Katalay team even adjusted my saddle like they knew my clumsy vibes, zero drama.

Riding through the valleys at sunset was the wow moment; in 2 hours we still covered Pigeon Valley and some fairy chimneys, but we waited a bit at the start.

What I loved most was not having to think about anything. They picked me up from the hotel right on time, the air-conditioned minibus was spotless, and the ride to the stables felt easy. The guide was calm and clear, and explained safety well. Riding toward Red Valley at sunset made the fairy chimneys look unreal, with this quiet mood. Drop-off was back to my door too, zero stress.

The valleys look totally different at sunset, really quiet and beautiful. The horses were calm and ok for beginners, I was a bit nervous but got used to it fast. Our guide pointed out the fairy chimneys as we went toward Red Valley and kept a nice pace. Only issue was waiting around 15 min at the start and the helmets felt a little worn. Still, the view was worth it.
Yunior P. 5.0 / 5 Excellent
The valleys looked like they were on fire at sunset, and I just held on to the horse’s rhythm. Everything ran so smooth; we started riding right away and didn’t waste time waiting behind big groups. When the light softened near Red Valley, I got really emotional, like a memory I didn’t know I had. The guide was calm and careful, and it all felt perfect.

Before we even rode out, our guide greeted everyone like we were old friends. My one wow moment was when the sun dropped over Red Valley and my horse slowed down, so we just watched the colors hit the rocks in total quiet. He never rushed anyone, kept an eye on the nervous riders, and shared little tips. On the way back we were laughing like a small family. Perfect.

Riding through the valley at sunset felt kind of unreal. My horse was calm and I felt safe even as a beginner. The guide was patient and didn’t rush us when we passed the Fairy Chimneys. The route was mostly easy, a bit dusty but fine. At the end the sky went pink-orange and I stopped taking pics, just watched.

What surprised me most was how calm the horse was, I relaxed fast even at sunset. They gave a short briefing and then we rode near Red Valley, between the fairy chimneys. The guide didn’t rush us and we stopped for photos. Two hours felt just right, and at the end we were a bit dusty, but worth it.
