Horse time near the city.

This private horse riding tour is a simple way to get on a horse without the usual chaos. I like the private setup (it’s just your group) and that you show up with equipment plus a professional instructor ready to guide you. One thing to consider: it runs only when the weather cooperates, and transportation isn’t included, so you’ll want to plan how you get to the meeting point.

What I also appreciate is the clear, practical structure: you start near the Kakheti Highway, head to the riding club area close to Lilo Mall, do your ride, and then you’re back where you started. It’s built for people who want a real activity, not a long day of driving and waiting around.

Key highlights from this private horse ride in Tbilisi

• Private group only means more personal attention from the instructor
• Equipment included, so you’re not hunting for gear last minute
• Professional instructor on-site helps you feel safer and more confident
• Close to Lilo Mall makes this feel doable even if you’re short on time
• About 1 hour of riding activity keeps the plan focused
• Mobile ticket keeps check-in straightforward

Where the ride actually happens: Lilo Mall and Kakheti Highway

This tour is anchored around a meeting point on the Kakheti Highway area in Tbilisi, Georgia, with the activity arranged at a horse riding club near Lilo Mall. That matters, because it keeps the whole thing from feeling like a half-day mystery tour where you spend most of your time traveling.

In practice, you’re looking at a short time commitment. The riding itself is about 1 hour, and your total experience is listed as roughly 1 to 2 hours. So if you’re building a day around Tbilisi sightseeing, this is the kind of activity that won’t crush your schedule.

Also, because the tour ends back at the meeting point, you don’t need to figure out a second pickup or transport puzzle. You’ll still need to handle your own way to the start location, but once you’re there, the plan stays tight.

Price and value: what $109 really buys you

At $109 per person, this isn’t the cheapest activity on the board. But it also isn’t trying to be a long, multi-stop tour. The value is in what’s included for the time you spend riding.

You get:

• Horse riding equipment
• A professional instructor
• The horse riding activity

Those three items are the core of what you’re paying for. If you’ve ever looked into riding locally, you’ll know how often the cost balloons once you add instructor time and gear. Here, you’re buying a guided riding session with the basics handled.

What’s not included is also important for budgeting:

• Food and drinks
• Transportation

So the real value question is this: if you can get yourself to Kakheti Highway/Lilo Mall and you don’t need an included meal, the price starts to feel fair for a guided, equipment-based ride.

If you’re hoping for a full day outing with meals and sightseeing, this won’t be that. It’s a short, focused horse experience.

The flow of your ride: what happens during the 1-hour experience

Your activity is arranged at the horse riding club near Lilo Mall. The ride is set for about 1 hour, and you’ll have the instructor and equipment during that session. The tour is private, so you won’t be shuffled into someone else’s timing or stuck waiting behind a big group.

Here’s what you can expect from a session like this, based on how the tour is set up:

• You arrive at the club area and get ready with the included riding equipment
• You work with a professional instructor who helps you during the riding portion
• You complete the riding activity in about an hour
• You return to the meeting point, where the experience ends

The biggest practical benefit of this format is that it’s built around doing the activity. You’re not paying for a lot of sitting and watching. You’re paying for guided time on horseback.

One small consideration: since it’s weather-dependent, the club may adjust timing if conditions are poor. If you’re planning tightly, keep a little slack in your day.

Instructors can make or break it: George, Chatou, Megi, and Temo

When I’m choosing horse experiences, the instructor is everything. A good guide doesn’t just point you toward the reins; they help you feel safe and understand what to do. And the feedback around this tour consistently points to strong guide support.

Names that show up in the guidance you’ll likely see include:

• George (spelled Georg/George in one note)
• Chatou Mukhrani
• Megi
• Temo

People specifically praised the guide experience and how well the day was organized, with comments tied to service quality and planning. You’ll notice a common theme: the staff focus on making the experience work well, not just getting you on a horse and hoping for the best.

So if you’re a first-timer, that’s a big plus. You’re more likely to get a calmer, clearer introduction, and you can spend your attention on enjoying the ride rather than guessing what comes next.

What you need to plan on your own (and what you don’t)

This experience is refreshingly straightforward about inclusions. But you do need to plan a few basics.

Not included:

• Food and drinks
• Transportation

Translation: you’ll want to eat before you go, or bring something light if the club timing allows (the tour data doesn’t say food is available, so don’t count on it being included). Water is a smart idea whenever you’re outside, even on a short 1-hour session.

Transportation is the other key item. The meeting point is on Kakheti Highway area, and the activity is near Lilo Mall. If you’re using rideshare or a taxi, figure out your route ahead of time so you’re not stressed when you arrive.

If you prefer stress-free days, build the day like this:

• One clear plan for getting to the start point
• One clear time block for the ride
• Then return and continue with your Tbilisi day

Also, the tour uses a mobile ticket, and you’ll receive confirmation at booking time. That reduces friction once you’re actually ready to go.

Who this private horse ride is best for

This is a private tour/activity, so it’s especially appealing if you want a more personal experience. Only your group participates, which typically helps with pacing and instructor attention.

It also fits well if you:

• Love horses and want a guided ride rather than a photo-only stop
• Are visiting Tbilisi but don’t want a full-day commitment
• Travel with a small group who want a shared activity
• Prefer a simple plan with clear start and end back at the meeting point

The tour also notes that most travelers can participate. That’s encouraging if you’re not sure whether you’ll fit the activity. Still, since riding can be physical, you’ll want to consider comfort with being on horseback and following an instructor’s directions.

Weather and timing: the one real complication

This experience requires good weather. If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. That’s the kind of policy that matters because horse riding is outdoors, and conditions can change quickly.

There’s also a minimum number of travelers requirement. If the minimum isn’t met, the experience may be canceled with either a different date/experience or a full refund offered.

If you’re traveling during a period where rain or heavy weather is common, I’d treat this like a flexible day item. It’s short, which helps—but it’s still weather-based.

Should you book this private horse riding tour near Tbilisi?

You should book if you want:

• A short, guided horse riding session near Tbilisi
• A private setup where your group rides without mixing with strangers
• Equipment and an instructor included, so you’re not piecing together the basics

Skip or rethink it if:

• You need included transportation or a meal
• You’re scheduling this on a day where you can’t tolerate any weather-related changes
• You want a long sightseeing day (this is primarily about the ride)

For horse lovers, especially those who value good guidance, this is one of the more practical ways to do equestrian time in and around Tbilisi.
