We have just returned from Tuscany and are delighted with our ride: the horses are fantastic, the horseback riding very well organized. The landscapes are fantastic, the light is magical ... Beautiful encounters in our different accommodations, excellent food and a warm welcome. In short: Delighted! Thank you for everything.
What a great tip to go on horseback in Tuscany ! An extra guide ! He shares his passion with us with humility and pride. His horses are well in their heads, they accompany us with courage and affection during the trip. Meetings with the country but also the inhabitants who welcome us with finesse and attention. Thanks again for everything ! The most beautiful holidays! Delighted !!
Thank you for such a wonderful week on horseback in Tuscany. As always with Cap Rando, a more than successful holiday. And the guide: more than brilliant ! Super good !!!
Our Italy ride was fabulous! Overall the trip was spectacular! the guide was extremely professional, the horses were great, and it was a wonderful ride. Having done some wild trekking rides before I have to say it as nice to be with a guide who while we did enjoy great gallops and trots, took safety seriously and make sure to keep us safe. We truly hope to go ride in Italy again someday! Here is a review:
Where to begin? Our ride through Tuscany was both magical and unforgettable. My mother and I went to celebrate a very special birthday and it could not have been more special! The horses were extremely well taken care of, well behaved, groomed, and sweet. You can see that the guide really loves each of them and knows each one of them very well. The hotels and B&B's were very nice and the food.....oh the food was absolutely spectacular! Our favorite town was Proceno where we met Pucci and her wonderful husband Giovanni. We dined at their amazing Michelin star restaurant and ate the most incredible black truffle ravioli one could imagine. After sipping champagne and wonderful wine we sat by the fireplace and Pucci told us about her life and her families history. All this and we got to sleep in a castle!
The riding was spectacular. Long gallops and trots with beautiful scenery of every genre. The entire trip felt like a movie. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure, fabulous food, even better wine, and memories that will last a lifetime!
