This is located on the cutest countryside property just east of Siena. There are a bunch of horses and people helping. The instructions are very clear and the people were SO nice! I booked originally for 2 people but then wanted to add 5 to make it a private tour and she went out of her wake to change the times. She contacted me on WhatsApp very frequently regarding updates! She even sent me pictures the morning of, of the horses getting ready. She was very understanding and professional. Instructions were clear as well. Claura I believe her name is - the BEST. And the other German woman was so sweet and helpful! The trail itself is stunning. It’s a great combination of road and trail riding. Not too slow or fast. The views are insane and the weather was beautiful! I would definitely do this again! SO SWEET, kind, understanding, and amazing!

Stunning views across the countryside. We were very well looked after and could see the high standards of the stables. The horses were very calm and laid-back, relaxed with loud noises and traffic. Clara was a fantastic, experienced and friendly guide who made sure everyone had a great time. The beginner riders were very well looked after and always safe, while others had the opportunity to trot and explore at a faster pace. Thanks again !

Thank you, it was a pleasure to meet you!
Our instructor Clara was so nice, she’s been doing this tour for over 20 years. The horses were all sweet and the trails were unforgettable! Highly recommend booking this!

Thank you Caitlin !!
Great ride, excellent guide, tremendous scenery, gentle horses, all & all a very very pleasant experience.
Whether you are experienced or a beginner, you will enjoy horseback riding through the hills of Tuscany. The staff who guided us were very friendly and helpful. You will learn about the country and see the majesty of the lands surrounding you. I recommend this adventure highly.

Thank you McKenna! It was a pleasure to ride with you!
Very well maintained stables, lovely owner, well groomed horses and great riding experience. The views were spectacular. Can cater for all levels.
The horses are well cared for, and the guides are wonderful! The tour loops around the local valley, so it's a long and beautiful route.
It was a wonderful experience. Everyone was really nice and the view was so good. The horses are well kept and trained and very lovely.
Many of us were total beginners and everyone had fun!
What an experience. Amazing views, amazing horses, our tour guide was very informative, calm and patient. For a complete beginner it was made very simple, strongly reccomend

Thank you!
The experience is worth the money you're trekking along for at least 1.5 hours on horseback along the countryside. Clara was fantastic, very friendly and super patient given we were all newbies at this. It was a lovely and very different experience.
We had a great time riding with Clara. The horses was friendly, calm and relaxed, Clara seemed to have a lot of expreience with horses and guided us safe through the stunning beauty of Tuscany. I can definately recommend and we would absoulutely do it again to try another trail next time.
Beautiful Tuscan hills horseback ride. Long 2+ hour ride over some rocky and gravelly trails and thru thick grasslands. Horses were well trained and gentle. I would recommend the guides spend a little more time stopping at picturesque spots for group photos.

I went with my two daughters and we had a great time. Clara was very nice and helpful and the location was unbelievable.
We all had a great time and I would highly recommend this activity. Try to take a lot of pictures!
AMAZING!!! Clara and her team were incredible!!
The horses were so gentle and the views were breathtaking!!! I would recommend this to everyone!!! Best experience in Tuscany!!!
This was an amazing experience! Carla was very knowledgeable about horses and the surrounding area. She was very friendly and we felt safe and comfortable the whole experience. I highly recommend. Beautiful scenery and very pleasant, safe horses. Shout out to Sammi and Chrono, best horses there!
The horses were well behaved and easy to ride. Clara provided excellent direction. The journey took us over the hills for a view of the sunset! Spectacular!
The views were beautiful and it was very relaxed. The horses were very calm and relaxed and really well cared for. Simone was a great host. And there were some dogs living about 😁
Views were beautiful, but the horses needed to be retired. If you have any compassion for animals, don’t go here. They were physically in rough shape

Hi Wendy. I am more than baffled by this feedback, wich is in no way even close to the truth. Everyone is welcome to come and see for themselves that our horses are loved, beautiful, in a great shape and well looked after. Whats more, we feed organically and they receive first class dental and veterinary care. .
The views were incredible and the guide was great. Really enjoyed the ride. Would absolutely do it again.
Great experience and done very professionally and personably by Clara. We would highly recommend this experience.
Absolutely amazing experience! Clara and Marco were very pleasant and I enjoyed their company, chatting away throughout the journey. Views are breathtaking and I 100% recommend to explore Tuscany on horseback. Horses were gentle and calm, great for beginners but if you have experience with horse riding like I do, you can enjoy gallops through Tuscan fields too ❤️🐴 Magical!
Book this now!!! This was a highlight of our 3 weeks in Italy. Clara was wonderful and so patient with our inexperience with horses. The views alone are worth booking this, but the horses were wonderful. We had a great time.
While the tour is aimed at (complete) beginners, there is very limited guidance provided before getting on the actual horse. Furthermore, as the horse assigned to me was not being very stable in the beginning, I asked whether it would be possible to have someone guide the horse throughout the beginning of the ride, in order for me to get accustomed to it. Unfortunately, this ask was not accommodated, so I found myself having to get off the horse because I was feeling too uncomfortable. My girlfriend, though, did continue with the ride and enjoyed it. I am a bit disappointed with how my situation was handled and I would mainly recommend this experience to people who have been already been a couple of times on a horse and are comfortable to handle it by themselves.

Dear Claudiu, thank you very much for your review. I remember you very well, even though it's been a few weeks since you were our guest. I was personally present when we helped you on your horse and started to explain the most important things. I could see that you were really scared and very tense. I offered to lead the horse a few steps to give you a feel for it. I also tried to give you confidence and reassure you. It happens from time to time, rarely, that adults or children do not feel comfortable in the saddle on a large, living, breathing and moving animal. Other people are afraid in other situations, perhaps in water or when climbing. I have enough experience to know when I'm no longer doing a guest a favor if I keep trying to convince him or her to take part in the ride. You clearly stated that you would like to dismount. Of course I will then comply with such a request and say that it is not a problem and that it happens from time to time. I didn't have the impression that I had ignored your secret wish to take part in the ride and made it easy for myself.
I would still like to invite all first-timers and beginners to take part in our rides. Thank you again Claudiu, saluti, Clara
Clara’s stable is full of beautiful, well-kept and trained horses and the vistas from the trails are stunning!
Thank you very much
Awesome experience & highlight of trip!! Take the time to book, you won’t be disappointed…
Great photos & Clara was exceptional. Patience of a saint to help us arrive and find a driver to return to train station.
Horses are very friendly and scenery is majestic ♥️
Absolutely stunning scenery! Wonderful horses. Everything was just perfect! Clara and her team take good care of horses and the riders. If you love nature and horses this is a perfect experience.
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide was very kind and patient, and the horses were sweet and gentle. I would recommend this to anyone who wishes to experience the beauty of Tuscany from horseback.
Was beautiful country side, the horses were beautiful and so lovely to everyone in the group. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We couldn’t recommend it more
Clara is really nice guide and the view of Toscana countryside is pretty! We would like to do it again!
