Adventure in nature to switch off
We booked the tour as a beginner. Everyone was very nice. The tour went through the countryside and was beautiful. The horses were all healthy and very calm. Especially for beginners it was advantageous that the horses mastered the path calmly and routinely, which was sometimes quite stony and steep. It was a beautiful atmosphere.

Memorable ride for all the right reasons
Lovely 2 hours with my guide as a solo rider. Horse was lovely and relaxed but still responsive to my requests. We rode on the rode and up in to forest. Passing old ruins with spectacular views.

Incredible experience!
Absolutely amazing time, our guide was as sweet and patient as we could hope for. Took us on an easy ride to a cool ancient church. The horses were so beautiful 🥰

Perfect morning ride!
Our guides were so helpful and patient! It was my first time riding a horse, but within an hour I was pretty comfortable on the trail and in the fields where they took us. Beautiful day, and perfect experience! Thank you so much!

Beautiful moment with horses
It was a beautiful trip with a training session. It is perfect for beginners (it was our first time with horses) and the horses were wonderful and healthy!
The path we went on was really natural but be careful to have a jacket because you can touch the trees.
I totally recommend this activity!

What beautiful hours
I also wanted to explore Tuscany on the back of the horses.
The choice to do the whole thing directly on site was just right!
Although I have been on a horse before, but after a few minutes I realized....Hercules is already doing it.
So relaxed horses and thus a great trip for 2 hours. The money was absolutely worth it!
Thanks also to Anja and Emielle (?) for guiding us.
