Comments: The guide herself was very friendly and professional. The only complaint was that the guide ended up speaking with the other guest for 90% of the entire trip in French (we are not fluent so we had no idea what they were talking about). I understand the guide explained she wasn't too comfortable with English (although she seemed completely fine with her English in our opinion), but I feel like there should be some effort to speak to all guests throughout the ride and no focus on one guest. Secondly the ride was advertised to possibly view bison (I understand there's no guarantee since the bison may or may not be in the fenced area), but it's so short of a stretch of path to view the fenced-in land along the path that I did not feel it was even worth the premium that we paid for it. The guide took one moment just to look and say no bison were present and we completely moved on from the area.

Management Response:
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for your comments. Our guide took good note of your review and will take care to pay attention to every participant. It is important that every guest gets the same experience.
Regarding our bison trail, the price is based on the duration of the ride and not on whether the bisons are visible. However, we invite our guests who didn't have the chance to see bisons to join the guided visit for free. Please let us know if you didn't get that invitation.

Comments: The horse riding experience was exceptional. Due to low season, the host was allowing more time to interact with the horses. The overall experience was incredible and I would highly recommend it to anybody.
