      While it is a bit harder for the non local traveler to get to, it was 100% worth going. The horses were amazing and the view during sunset was beautiful. The staff was so kind and helpful, especially with it being my first time on a horse. 10/10 would recommend.

      The experience was wonderful! Getting to ride in the beautiful countryside was great! The guides were also very helpful and put us at ease.

      Hilary_L, Oct 2025
      Some confusion over booking as asked for shuttle service but was quickly sorted by stables. Was picked up near our hotel but driver wasn't exactly talkative. Asked a question and was replied with a one word answer. Would be nice to have asked us questions like ' where are you from, first time in Italy etc. It was the same on return journey all we got was a 'bye when we got out. The place where the horses are kept definitely needs some maintenance. One of the horses which was retired needs feeding up as was very skinny, I appreciate its old. The others were in fair to good condition. The tack was fair but our horses had two saddle cloths as the saddles were resting on their withers. For those who have never ridden before there was a quick lesson on wooden horses which was very good. The ride was good but wasn't an hour. They take multiple pi tures and send them to you via WhatsApp, a nice touch. I think we are judging on our standards in UK where the horses in summer would have riding fly masks on and fly masks and fly rugs on when in their pens. There were lots of flies and I dread to think what it's like in height of summer. Overall it was value for money but go with your eyes open.

      If you have some time to spare, and love animals, I would highly recommend

      Something different but fun

      Andrea_M, Sep 2025
      It was great fun for my sister and I, both novices when it comes to horses. The host spoke very good English when giving instructions before the ride. The horses were lovely and I felt quite safe trotting round the town with the guides walking beside. Just remember to arrange the additional transport with the host that is extra but convenient.

      Horses For courses

      It was super fun, the horses are well taken care of and the guide was awesome! He also spoke great English, which was a relief for me since I’m hard of hearing.

      Amazing experience

      Sophie_M, Jun 2025
      We were blown away by this activity, absolutely the highlight of our holiday. The guide showed us all the necessary controls of the horses, which are incredibly well trained and behaved. Our guide also spoke English which was very helpful for us. The countryside was serene and the ride relaxing and in our control, I would highly recommend. We also got the shuttle pick up service which was very convenient as it both collected us and took us back.

      The actual horseback riding was super fun and the guide took lots of amazing photos which was a huge plus! I will say the shuttle service was a bit odd and felt very cold. I have no idea if it was the fact that he didn't speak English or truly just didn't want to provide the shuttle service (glad he wasn't our tour guide) he seemed very inconvenienced by having to pick me even though he was getting paid to do so.

      Amazing

      Densie_J, Sep 2024
      Had the most enjoyable horse ride round Pisa at sunset , the guide was very good , the horses so well looked after , well worth the money for an hours ride

      Also possible for beginners!

      Hannelaure_V, Jun 2024
      Amazing experience! Loved it! It is a really nice place near Pisa (one busride away). They give good advise and learn you step by step how to feel comfortable and how to guide the horse!

      An awesome experience!

      This was an amazing experience! I booked it with my friend to celebrate her daughter’s 12th birthday, and it was so much better than we even expected! The horses were well taken care of and obviously loved by the staff, and everyone was so kind. We are still learning Italian, so it was incredibly helpful that they spoke so well also in English. They have a ton to offer other than this, and we would love to go back again. Beautiful location, great horses, and an awesome staff. Would definitely recommend!

      Sorpresa bellissima!!!

      RobyMax, Dec 2024
      Che dire, è stata una esperienza bellissima , una sorpresa per noi ,visto che è stata la prima volta su un cavallo grazie all'istruttore molto professionale e simpaticissimo "Alex" che con poche semplici istruzioni ha saputo rendere molto piacevole e divertente la passeggiata, consiglio a tutti di provarci sia per chi non ha mai provato come noi e anche per chi è già esperto visto che si possono fare anche dei trekking in collina e montagna

      Maravilloso

      alicia_g, Oct 2024
      Aunque fue una tarde lluviosa disfrutando de la experiencia, lo pasamos genial . El guía atento en todo momento , nos hizo muchísimas fotos las cuáles rapidamente nos envió. Muchas gracias por todo.

      Centre accueillant, bonne prise en charge mais balade assez basique dans le sens où tout est "trop" encadré, pas de liberté à cheval car le moniteur a pieds contrôle tout. Très bien quand vous débutez, frustrant si vous êtes cavalier...

      Das Glück dieser Erde, liegt auf dem Rücken der Pferde!

      Bernhard_H, Jun 2024
      Es war insgesamt ein sehr schöner Ausflug. Der Service und die Betreuung waren ausgezeichnet.war ausgezeichnet. Wir bekamen zu Beginn eine ausführliche Einführung und eine kleine Reitlektion, damit alle wussten wie die Pferde reagieren und wir in einen beschwerdefreien Ausritt starten können. Es war eine schöne Runde mit sehenswerter Certosa von Calci (heute Naturkundemuseum der Universität von Pisa) und herrlicher Gegend. Die Betreuung unterwegs war exzellent und wir hatten viel Freude beim Ausritt. Ein gelungener Tag! Vielen Dank!
