    Description

    Imagine yourself horseback riding in the beautiful countryside off the coasts of central Italy. This is your dream come true!

    If you are looking for “edgy”, for special, for memorable, for a once in a lifetime experience, this one is for you: A horseback riding tour!

    One of our personal drivers will welcome you at your dock in Civitavecchia. Get ready for a fun day! Travelling through the hills, not far away from Port, actually, is the Countryside of Rome. Your tour driver will give you a few anecdotes and some details on what you will be doing today.

    You’ll soon arrive at a horse farm called  I tre confini of Macchia Grande, an exclusive Equestrian club.

    Meet with Mr. Ugo, the handler and owner of the riding school

    He will give you a quick course, a basic training before the horseback riding tour, just to go over the principles on how to handle the horses, to get to know these adorable and absolutely friendly guys.

    A comfortable, casual and even sporty attire is definitely suggested: Jeans and sneakers will do fine

    Then off you go! A wonderful tour, with Ugo at the head, to give you a backstory on his farm, the local traditions and the landscapes you’ll be riding through. How each horse has its own personality. Take in the relaxing atmosphere as you trod about the forrest, bypassing the crops and hills, take it all in. When you get back to the farm, you’ll have a nice refreshment waiting for you, to continue your day swapping fun stories and horse-related anecdotes.

    Not very far from the farm, you will drive through the countryside, to Bracciano Lake!

    From the horse farm your tour driver will take you off the shores of the beautiful Lake Bracciano, a true gem of the Roman countryside. Explore some, walking through the narrow streets of the “Centro Storico” of Trevignano or visit the highest peak on the trail to La Rocca. Your driver will give you all the suggestions on what to do best while visiting, along with recommending some great restaurants overlooking the lake. (A fantastic option to consider, for lunch with a view)

    Of course, you can’t pass on the opportunity of visiting the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano!

    This Medieval Castle is something you Must see, while in the area. It is beautiful, it’s architecture so unique. And the history is quite fascinating. At the entrance, after you’ve purchased your ticket for a small fee, you can scan a QR code directly on your phone, to download the interactive guide. Your driver will assist you with all the information you’ll need to enjoy your tour. As you stroll around in the halls, visiting the chambers and gardens, you will learn so much on this incredible castle. Of course, today is mainly a museum. But on rare occasions, it is used as venue for wealthy gatherings, events and even weddings!

    Perhaps most known for the VIP wedding between Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, who chose this very Castle to tie the knot

    After a full day such as this, you can opt for another brief stop before returning to your cruise ship in Port. A stop in Cerveteri, one of Italy’s great Etruscan cities. If you’ll have enough time, that is.

    This quaint town has an incredible history, as ancient as the Roman Empire, and before that, during the Etruscan Era. In fact, Cerveteri is not only a World Heritage site officially, but it also hosts an amazing Etruscan Necropolis, one of the largest in the world. Not just a regular grave site. It is an entire field of mounds and burial places as big as mini apartments, beautifully decorated with frescoes and sculptures. A very fascinating introspection on local history. Time permitting, we highly recommend a stop there.

    So as if horse riding in the country of Rome wasn’t enough, on this tour, you’d have the great opportunity to visit beautiful places in the area for a truly remarkable shore excursion from Civitavecchia Port.

    Our customers reviews

    I highly recommend Discovery Tours Limousine Service when visiting Italy or making stops at the various cruise ports in Italy. Gilberto Stanzioni, the owner, makes sure every detail is taken care of and has an excellent staff of professionals that leaves every visitor wanting to return to Rome just for the services they provide.

    We had a fantastic day. Our driver made many great suggestions on how to spend our day and let us make requests as well. I’d highly recommend this tour over a large group cruise tour or hop on hop off bus.
