Ride through Lucca’s old town with guide Marika and her much-loved horse Luigi, also called Gigi. In 40 to 45 minutes, you’ll pass major churches, towers, Roman sites, shopping streets, and lively squares while hearing clear English commentary and local stories.
“Lovely tour of Lucca. Marika was a great guide....not rushed, shared the history of the town with interesting facts. Totally recommend.”
See Lucca from a horse-drawn carriage with guide Marika, exploring the historic center and Renaissance walls in about an hour. You’ll pass Piazza Napoleone, San Michele, the Roman amphitheater, Torre Guinigi, and quiet lanes. The private ride costs $192.44 for up to five people.
“Excellent experience and very nice host. Roamed around the city and toured it in one hour. Highly recommended if you need save a bit time especially.”
You’ll ride behind Nancy, a gentle horse, through snowy meadows and quiet woodland near Livigno. The 30-minute private outing includes warm wool blankets and an Italian or English-speaking guide. Up to four people share one sleigh, with a second sleigh available for larger groups.
“Het was op zich heel leuk om mee te maken. We maakten een rondje in de slee van een half uur in de directe omgeving. Je gaat dus niet het bos in ofzo. Om er te komen moest je ook nog wel een stukje met de bus vanuit Livigno. Ter plekke aangekomen hebben we gebeld en toen kwam hij eraan met de slee.”
Take a 30-minute private horse-drawn carriage ride through central Florence with an English, Italian, or Spanish-speaking guide. Begin at Piazza della Signoria, pass the Arno and Ponte Vecchio, cross Piazza della Repubblica, view Medici residences, and catch sight of Brunelleschi’s dome.
“The driver was late because he said the office didn’t contact him to pick us up at the designated meeting point. The half hour delay threw our schedule off for the rest of the day and we missed another tour.”
Pick a shoreline, a canyon or a driving seat.
