people in
places we travel to that Americans are curious, open, generous, adventurous people,” he adds.
Indeed, although Equitours draws diverse groups of people from all walks of life, even all levels of riding skills, which

willingness to truly explore. Whether its galloping after zebra in Kenya, touring castles in France, or exploring
Pelion Coast of Greece,

way, Bayard considers them true American ambassadors.
