“We loved the horse and carriage wine tour. We were a party of 6 which was perfect and it was a bit different from a coach tour. The places we went to were enjoyable and the staff were professional. Thank you”
Ride horseback through Vesuvius National Park, enjoy Naples Bay views, and taste family wine on this small-group tour from Naples.

Ride gentle Criollo horses through the Andes near Santiago, then enjoy a picnic, Chilean wine, mountain views, and hotel transfers.
“This was EXCELLENT. We were in a tour of two other couples--which apparently was one of the largest tours they had done for a while. We had an excellent trail ride through the hills with an incredibly knowledgeable guide Juane who spoke perfect English and was full of really interesting facts about the area. The lunch was simple and delicious, and everything was capped off with a great glass of wine. We would HIGHLY recommend this tour--probably the best part of our 12 day Chile trip. One slight word of warning, though--the description says no horseback riding experience needed, but I would argue that more experience on horses is better…”

“Fun in Tuscany's guide named Tom was exceptional! He made our experience very memorable! He took great photos for us!”

“Everything was perfect and now I know more about Chianti wine than one can imagine...we had a whole case shipped to our residence in Florida.”
Ride through Chile’s Maipo Valley, enjoy a ranch barbecue, and taste local wine on a private full-day tour from Santiago.
“No hay recorrido vinicola, no fuimos al río, los caballos sucios, nos llevaron a casa de una persona que no venia en el itinerario y la verdad no está agradable, muy sucio todo. La gente muy amable pero venden algo completamente diferente a lo que en realidad dan. La verdad no lo recomiendo nada. Lo único de calidad la parrillada”
Escape Rome for a private horseback ride in Simbruini National Park, with horse grooming, mountain scenery, a meal, and local wine tasting.
“We enjoyed a really nice trail ride. Compared to the horses on some of our previous trail rides at other places, these horses were very cooperative and easy to work with, and the staff all were very friendly and helpful.”
Ride through Chianti vineyards, then tour a historic estate with four wines, Tuscan lunch, and round-trip transport from Florence.
“We absolutely loved the horse ride and tour!! The ride was a dream, the most beautiful horses took us through incredible scenery that you wouldn’t get to see otherwise. The wine tour and lunch at the Estate was one of the best we’ve experienced! The food and wine were incredible, and the history and knowledge of the winery and region shared was so informative and interesting. Cannot fault the day!”

Ride through Franschhoek vineyards at Vrede en Lust, with calm horses, mountain views, expert guides, and a gentle pace for beginners.
“This was such a special experience and one of the highlights of our time in Franschhoek. I had never ridden a horse before, and the rest of our group were beginners too, but from the very start the guides made us feel completely at ease. The briefing was thorough and reassuring, and it was immediately clear how experienced they were and how well they knew their horses. The horses themselves were absolutely lovely; calm, gentle, and clearly very well cared for which made such a difference for first-time riders. Riding through the vineyards was breathtakingly beautiful, and the pace was perfectly suited to our confidence levels, allowing us to relax…”
Ride horses through Rome’s coastal nature reserve, meet the ranch animals, enjoy Roman food and wine, and explore Ancient Ostia nearby.
“I embarked on the “Picnic on Horseback in Rome” tour with high expectations, lured by the promise of stunning nature and delectable Roman cuisine. The tour began wonderfully, with our guide Alessia providing a five-star experience. Her knowledge, passion, and kindness created an atmosphere that was both educational and enjoyable as we traversed the breathtaking landscapes of the Riserva Naturale Statale del Litorale Romano. The horseback riding experience was superb, catering to all skill levels, and made for a delightful escape from the city’s hustle. Alessia was the perfect host, ensuring everyone was comfortable, safe, and engaged. However, the experience took a confusing turn when, contr...”

“Great communication from Sophia and her team. Horses were great, a really beautiful way to explore a winery!”
Ride calm horses through Tuscany, then enjoy local wine, cheeses, and cured meats on a private half-day escape from Florence.
“The people were very kind and it was a beautiful farm. However, the horses were very poorly trained. Our family has been on many trail rides, and this is the first time we’ve been bitten, attempted to be thrown off multiple times, and seen our guide literally get thrown off his horse. The only people who checked on us after this experience was the guide and one of the men who worked in the stable. Our driver was also very kind but the drive was extremely dangerous and also terrifying. He was weaving in and out of traffic, illegally passing cars, speeding, and gave us severe motion sickness. Not to…”
