Équitation sur le Vésuve

Such a great experience! The driver Marco who picked us up was so friendly and helpful. The horse trainers were also very helpful in making us feel at ease as we were beginners. Passing through the vineyard on horseback is an experience I’ll never forget.

My husband and I booked this experience - we should have added the lunch and wine tasting. I would recommend this to riders with some experience handling a horse. The views were breathtaking. Be sure to take a backpack with water. Rosella was a fantastic guide!

Beautiful views! Such a relaxing, unique experience! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful and loved the horses. Brenda was super mellow. I would highly recommend this tour!! Vineyard and mountains were so pretty.

I think it should be clearly that the ride is not going to take you anywhere near the Vesuvius mountain. I was kind of hoping to be able to see it up-close, but that wasn't the case. its just a basic horse riding experience. You could get it anywhere. wasn't anything great

We had an incredible time horse riding! The entire experience was so easy and enjoyable. We were picked up by our driver, Ruslan, who collected us from the collection point and drove us up the mountain to the stables where we met Alessandra who gave us helmets and safety information. We then started riding through vineyards for an hour going up, down and through vineyards whilst seeing the most amazing views of Vesuvius and Pompeii. Alessandra made the whole experience smooth sailing, talking us through what the vineyards made, as well as advising us what to do whenever the horses were trying to snack too much. Around halfway through she took photos of us on the horses with Vesuvius in the background which is just the most amazing keepsake from the memory! We ended the ride with some time at the end for the horses to graze whilst we sat on the horses enjoying the view, and Alessandra even gave us some fresh oranges from the trees. I would absolutely do this again and recommend the experience to anybody, very beginner friendly and shoutout to Brenda and Mary, the amazing horses who were just the best behaved girls ever!

This was a really experience especially fir beginners and kids. The views towards Mt Vesuvius and the bay around Napoli were spectacular. The staff were lovely and shared interesting facts about the area. It was a small, slow-paced personalised experience. I would definitely recommend especially for families.

What a fanstastic way to round off our stay. This was a great family experience and the warm and friendly staff were very attentive and saw right away that one of our party was nervous. They were exceptional at putting everyone at ease, efficient at getting everyone on a horse and out for a beautiful ride. This experience made the trip for our eldest and was something she always wanted to do. Well worth it.

I had a very bespoke request for my 9 year old daughter to horse ride, without us doing the whole excursion. I contacted several companies to try to arrange it, but only Sofia at Taste the Experience was able to help. The communication to organise the experience was excellent. Sofia replied quickly and clearly to our queries. The price for the horse ride was excellent value for money. There was a small mistake with the booking and Sofia was excellent at resolving this for us. She helped us to arrange train transport to Pompeii from Sorrento. After that, we had excellent transport to the stables. The driver was friendly, professional and very helpful. When we had problems finding the meeting point, he came to find us quickly. He also advised us on the best train station to use for the return to avoid the crowds at Pompeii and which platform to use etc. Sofia went above and beyond to make amends for the error and we were very grateful for this. The horse ride itself was an unforgettable experience for our daughter. She loved hacking though the vineyards, with great views of Vesuvius. The guide was very good with her and at the end of the ride, allowed her to trot and canter in the arena as she is an experienced rider. Our daughter loved every second of the experience and I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to ride here.

This tour was fun. Not really on Mount Vesuvius, but you can see Mount Vesuvius several miles away. Beautiful area. A little strange that our guides were not on horseback, but were walking alongside us as we rode. I would’ve liked to trot or canter a little. This ride is perfect for beginners.
