The itinary needs a little updating for example there was no wine tasting on the first day and there hasn't been for some time.

When using the metro system, you must frank your ticket before you get on the train and afterwards and the franking machines are not obvious. You will be given an on the spot fine of 25 Euros or 6000 forints by nasty inspectors who are targeting tourists
Some of the canters were a little too enclosed and overgrown leading to one rider getting a cut and black eye. Wheras other much more open and suitable places for canters were ignored/not utilised.

The pace was slower than other rides and not as arduous with a very leisurely 2 hour lunch break and relatively short morning and afternoon rides usually about 2 or 2 and a half hours and one half day .Also, we were not expected to look after the horses or even tack up which makes the ride much less tiring.

Very helpful to have a contact in the UK to help when you are organising your trip and not just relying on emails

Itinerary updated with regards to wine tasting on the first day
