What To Expect
Depart from the center of Siena and head out for the range—that is, the hills of Tuscany. First, hop in a comfortable minivan and go to the stables to meet your horse. After a brief safety talk, put on your riding hat and hop on the saddle. Do a quick practice riding session in a riding arena and when you're comfortable on your gentle horse, set off for the rustic Tuscan countryside.
Start out riding at a leisurely pace, following your guide, as you trot long secluded road and then into verdant forests. Follow trails that zigzag through the countryside and go through ancient rustic villages. Marvel at the countryside, which includes a patchwork of quilt-style landscapes, as well as villa-crowned hills and ancient villages made up of terracotta-roofed houses. Some of these trails are used as part of the Via Francigena, a centuries-old pilgrimage route that stretches from Canterbury in England all the way to Rome.
While the riding tour is more for novice or intermediate riders, more advanced riders are given the chance to trot or canter through stretches of the countryside. Head back to the stables. Help groom and unsaddle your horse and then get in the minivan for the short drive back to your hotel in central Siena.

Countryside Experience

Wonderful way to view the grape and olive vineyards and to learn about the local culture. Great experience!

Our guide Musa was so nice and patient with us as we were beginners without a lot of experience. There was a slight language barrier. Overall, the ride was a lot of fun and the horses had so much personality!
Beautiful countryside

The countryside was beautiful and the people were very nice. I only wish it had been longer. They adjusted to each individual person’s skill level.
Dangerous
Kelsey_M
, Oct 2021
It was me and two other girls. As soon as we got there it was very strange because no one came to greet us or give us any instructions. Lucky I have been riding horses for a long time, but even with the experience I have I was nervous the whole time. The horses were doing what they wanted to do and our guide didn’t tell us a lot about how to control the horse. Because of this one of the girls fell off because the horse jumped over a hill. After this happened we continued on even though the horses were then scared and honestly we were too. When we got back our guide never said goodbye or even sorry to the girl that fell. We just had to stand there and wait for the driver. In my opinion this was a very dangerous situation that should have never happened. I know you can not always control what a horse does, but give more instructions and don’t give a new rider a jumping horse.

Not welcoming
Eliza_G
, Jul 2021
The horses were really sweet and the view was beautiful! But The tour guide didn’t speak English and it was overall a not very welcoming or helpful experience.
Response from Host , Jul 2021
Thank you for your feedback. We always care about details, for this reason, we got in touch with the staff who did the tour and they told us they help you looking for a pharmacy and you're so nice and kind to them. They didn't understand you were disappointed. We are so sorry about that and we hope you're fine now! thank you
Terrible experience
Joseph D
, Sep 2019
We were picked up in a sedan that smelled like smoke and were driven to the facility by a non-English speaking driver. Once we arrived we were given wet and dirty helmets and given about 30 seconds of instruction before mounting the horse and going on the walk. The “guide” barely spoke any English and did not say anything to us while we were in the walk. She literally did not point anything out but was on her phone the entire time. When we returned from the ride, we were given no instructions. After waiting around for 15 minutes we asked what we were supposed to do and were told we had to wait for the driver and other workers to “finish some work” before leaving. Terrible service, no information learned at all, not worth more than $5
Beautiful But Damp and Cold Ride Through The Tuscan Countryside
Jane_C
, May 2019
Unfortunately it was cold, overcast and damp the day (early May) we rode through the Tuscan countryside. We were picked up at the Piazza Gramsci in Siena. Our driver was several minutes late. It was approximately a 20-25 minute drive to the riding center. Our group of three had two experienced riders and one beginner. We all felt comfortable riding the well-mannered horses. Our guide did not speak English so we had little interaction with him. It would have been nice to have had a guide who could have shared the wine culture and history of the area with us. He did point out Monteriggioni and San Gimignano off in the distance. The countryside was beautiful to explore despite the challenging weather and language barrier.
Overall it was a good experience. We only wish that the weather was better and that our guide spoke English.

Wonderful Day on Horses

Kevin M
, May 2018
Not sure where to begin. Sadly, my wife and I did not have the same experience as all the previous reviews. Perhaps different stables are used.
In full disclosure, this was my first experience riding horses. No previous skill. So I had no presumptions of it being a perfectly smooth ride. But when the description stated that all levels of skill would be welcome, I had no concerns. I expected some introduction on how to ride and control the horse, but that never happened. Simply, here's your helmet and off you go...and did we ever. We did not travel down a path as shown in the tour picture, but instead began by going up a steep climb. Eventually, we turned into the woods down a very narrow path that had been washed out from recent heavy rains. The trail was so deep in mud that the horses found it slippery. It made them skittish and unstable. Mine eventually slipped and fell down. I was thrown from the horse, but somehow I walked away with just scrapes and bruises....nothing serious. The guest behind me said he couldn't believe I wasn't seriously injured. Fortunately, the horse was ok as well. One other guest was thrown from her horse too. After getting back to my feet, wiping off the mud, and eventually finding my horse, I was able to climb back up and continue the journey through the muddy trail. After a nervous 25 minutes, we returned to the stables. I was so glad to be back on my feet and heading home in one piece.
Some other issues we had with the tour...
1. No responses to the two messages I sent prior to the tour asking for clarification as to the tour location. We were staying in Poggibonsi, not Siena. When we never head back, we decided to drive to the meeting point in Siena 40 km away. It turned out that the stables were only 7 km away Poggibonsi. Very frustrating.
2. Despite being listed as an English speaking tour, no one did. Not the driver, not the stable hands who helped us onto our horses, and not the tour guide.
3. Except for the other guests, no one bothered to ask if I was ok after falling. No one from the tour checked on me immediately after falling or upon returning to the stables.
4. Was so busy trying to control the horse that I never got to see the Tuscan Hills
Would give 0 stars if possible. Would NOT recommend.
Though the horseback ride was...
Judith A
, Oct 2017
Though the horseback ride was livelier than the slow plod I had been expecting, the scenery was unbelievable. A lovely ride through vineyards, forests, olive groves and fields with gorgeous views across miles of greenery to the distant towers of San Gemignano, Montereggioni, Chianti, completely unobstructed by roads, power lines, cars, railroads, etc. The guide, Marco, was pleasant, calming and reassuring.

We had high expectations of this tour, and they were exceeded! We had a wonderful ride through the Tuscan hills, guided by Francesco and accompanied by his assistant and Aki the dog, who sniffed out pheasants and led the way for our little group. We rode at a leisurely pace through all sorts of terrain, each with its own distinctive beauty. We were collected from our hotel in central Siena and dropped off there following our ride and handled warmly, kindly and professionally all the way. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and highly recommendable.
