Overall, the excursion in Perchèn was actually very nice. Our child had fun, we enjoyed ourselves, and the guide made us feel comfortable and at ease.
However, there were a few serious problems. First of all, the horses were kept in very poor condition, which was quite upsetting. Secondly, and this was a big issue, at the end of the excursion the guide insisted that we buy the photos he had taken of us on the horses — for €50.
When we told him we weren’t interested in the photos, we offered to leave him a tip instead, but he refused. He wanted the full €50 for the photos or additional money for the horse. When we declined, he got upset and told us we had to pay €25 for our child’s horse, claiming it wasn’t included in the price. That was not true because we had already paid for four people, so of course our child’s horse was included.
