The 3-hour tour begins in the centre of Siena where a minibus will collect participants and bring them to the Sienese countryside. As you drive to the stables, you'll be able to gaze out the window and watch as the urban landscape quickly transforms into the rolling hills, pastures, villages and woods that characterise the scenery of the Tuscan countryside. Once you reach the stables, you'll be briefly talked through the safety procedures, kitted out with everything you need and taken through a practice session in the riding arena so you can become accustomed to your horse. The horses are all well-trained and kind and each person will be matched with the animal that best suits their experience and comfort levels. Don't worry, you don't need a lot of experience to enjoy the day!
Once all the preparations have been completed, you will set off on an adventure, following your guide along secluded roads, through woods and pretty villages. This route is one that was formerly used by ancient pilgrims following the Via Francigena, a route that is said to have connected Rome to Canterbury, England. The guide will not only show you where to go, but will also be able to inform you all about what you're seeing, the history and the heritage of the area. They will also adjust the route to suit your ability, taking in less rough terrain or giving you opportunities to canter for stretches. If this sounds right up your alley, just book a tour through Viator and get exploring the countryside of Tuscany in this unique and charming manner!
