The staff was excellent. The guide was fantastic ! He was caring and conscientious with the horses as well as the guests. He loaded with enthusiasm and fun, and supported the rides very well. I loved my little horse (Bimbo) ! Solid, comfortable gaits, knew his job. Accommodations: Wonderfully interesting, comfortable lodgings. Great food. Had a fantastic time despite the poor weather on 3 of the days.

Catherine (France) – May 2017

We come back from Tuscany and are delighted with our ride: the horses are fantastic, the horse riding very well organized. The landscapes are fantastic, the light is magic ... Beautiful encounters in our different accommodation, excellent food and warm welcome. In a word: Delighted! Thank you for everything.

Lise (Belgium) – June 2016

What great advice to go to Tuscany! An extra guide! He shares his passion with us with humility and pride. His horses are good 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 attention. Thanks again for everything ! The best holidays! Delighted !!

Fabienne (Belgium) – Juin 2015

Thank you for this wonderful week in Tuscany. As always with Cap Rando, more than successful holidays. And the guide: more than great! Super good !!!

Elyse (USA) - April 2015

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. We loved spending time with our guide and Serena. Overall, I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure, fabulous food, even better wine, and memories that will last a lifetime!
