This opportunity will invite you to connect with these magnificent creatures (horses) in a way that diverges drastically from traditional violent and coercive methods. All of this unfolds within the beautiful boundaries of the Vesuvius National Park.

A highly recommended experience - My wife had riding experience, I had none, but Carlo was able to make it a safe and very enjoyable experience for us both. My wife was thrilled and looked a natural from the start. I was very high up on an immensely powerful animal who preferred eating leaves to following the others. But Carlo gave good instructions and trusted me to get it right. Towards the end I felt more relaxed, even a little "in union" with the horse, and was able to enjoy the scenery! We add a delicious snack of local fare and Carlo was generous with his time. He knows and respects each horse's personality and handles them accordingly. As we were talking about this ethical approach, an elderly horse stepped onto the verandah to join us.
Later Carlo sent us a dozen photos he had taken during the ride.

Wonderful experience - What a wonderful way to spend your time in Italy, on the back of a horse riding through the park. The host was so accommodating and friendly and not only provided a lot of helpful tips but also some great information of the area we were riding. Afterwards we ended with aperitivo at the ranch which was a perfect end. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Must-see! - An unforgettable experience! We had the chance to ride Vesuvius with Carlo, a passionate and attentive Guide. Panoramic views of Naples Bay and volcanic landscapes are simply breathtaking. Whether you are a Newbie or an experienced rider, Carlo makes sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the ride to the fullest. The experience ends in style with a delicious outdoor aperitif, offering a perfect moment of relaxation to conclude this adventure. A real enchantment, I highly recommend!

Great host and enjoyable experience on horseback. - Carlo was a wonderful guide and host! The experience was enjoyable and the bruschetta with fresh Vesuvian tomatoes, and mozzarella along w wine, water or soft drinks was a welcome end to the experience. You do not have to be an experienced rider as we had an orientation to the calm horses prior. He took pictures for us so we could enjoy the ride and sent them to us after. His dogs are the sweetest! Would do again!

Nice tour in the terrain - Was greeted by the owner Carlos at the local train station. Arrived shortly after the farm with many horses. A good place for horses in a good environment. The trip took a little over an hour along road and terrain, forest paths. We were guided and told about the area. Back on the farm we had a simple and good lunch with water and wine. The horses are calm and we cost ourselves.

Excellent trek - Carlos was a brilliant host. He collected us from the station on time, and he immediately began the tour by informing and telling us about the area and the history.
The horses and the farm were brilliant. Me and my daughter loved every bit. In fact from our 3 day stat in naples, this was our favourite activity. Would fully recommend.
