Fun, informative, amazing views !! - Our guide was fun and very informative. He made sure that we knew all the basic commands and how to hold the reins during each of the commands. We practiced in the round area first before going out onto the trail. He was encouraging throughout the entire experience. Would recommend this tour to anyone that would like to experience English saddle horseback riding !!

A wonderful horse ride in the beautiful countryside of Calci. - It was a really great experience to go horse riding in such beautiful countryside. It was idyllic. My tutor Alex was very very good and a really friendly guy which was good for me ass this was my first time travelling abroad solo.. I could not have enjoyed myself more.
Silvio and his Team made me feel very welcome and I will never forget what wonderful afternoon I had riding in Calci.
Thank you Silvio & Alex for a wonderful & beautiful experience. I shall never forget it.
Grazie Mille,

Do this tour! - The staff were very friendly and patient as they taught mostly beginners. The property was well maintained and all the horses looked happy and healthy. The aperitif was exceptional- red wine, bread, cheese, and salami. The countryside was idyllic. I strongly recommend this tour.

Fantastic Ride, and the knowledge of the guides. Highly Reccomend. - Wow what an amazing experience this tour has given me and my family, we took this one for our 12 y old son for an early birthday gift. the guides spent so much time teaching us how to ride correctly and ensure we were comfortable, then took us on our ride, it was a long ride and so beautiful we enjoyed it so much, the guide's were so informative of the area and its history, so not only did we have a wonderful ride we also had a history lesson, it was great, once we returned we were greeted with a few nibbles and a nice glass of wine and juice, defiantly worth the money and I would defiantly do this trip again. - thank you to the guides and the horses, I am sorry I cannot remember everyones name. (I think it was Jack & Lewis) sorry if thats wrong.

A perfect experience for familes with children! - This is an excellent excursion for novice horseback riders. We had two children in our group of 6 (ages 12 and 9). The staff was very patient and friendly. The ride was almost two hours, the scenery was beautiful, and the Apertif at the end was great! I highly recommend booking with this business!

Great beginner horse riding experience in the countryside - Lovely experience having beginner session horse riding. Great to be in the Tuscan hills and to see around the countryside a little. The people care about the horses, that is clear. This is a new operation, just getting started, trying to do the right thing.

Creeped out and treated rudely - Our experience seems to be very different from other reviews. We booked for 1 adult & 1 child and shortly after booking, the tour vendor messaged requesting to change the time to an hour earlier and asked if we needed transportation. We were ok with the time change, but had already arranged other transportation. On the day of, we arrive 15 minutes early despite it starting to rain and Google maps having the entrance in the wrong location. Our transportation drove passed the open gates to drop us off at the "stables". As we were getting out of the vehicle, a man quickly walked up to my door yelling that we couldn't park there. I reassured him we were being dropped off for our scheduled tour and the vehicle would be leaving. He kept yelling, so the driver quickly moved the vehicle and said he would wait until we were settled before leaving. While I was looking for a check-in area, I started to get a creeping feeling up my spine and was very uneasy about whether we'd arrived at the correct location. The employee that had yelled about parking told me we'd need to wait to check-in. Then another male employee appeared from a stall saying obscenities in Italian, which I can understand. I figured he may have been having a bad day and ignored it. 5 minutes later the driver came to check on us and after looking at the facility said he would wait with us. 10 minutes go by and the second employee appears again, this time yelling the obscenities and included "stupid Americans" and something about "husband". I didn't quite catch it all. The driver got upset, said he wouldn't leave 'His' wife and daughter with these men, insisted we go get in to vehicle, and then went to speak with the original employee. The employee said, "What, SHE can't wait 10 minutes!?" While the second employee shouted in English, "Then get out!" and a few Italian obscenities. We left then and the drive took us to go get Gelato.
