★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 85 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Ride calm horses through Vesuvius National Park with Carlo, then enjoy aperitivo and local food at the ranch. Small private group, 3 hours.

“Carlo was a wonderful guide and host! The experience was enjoyable and the bruschetta with fresh Vesuvian tomatoes, and mozzarella along w wine, water or soft drinks was a welcome end to the experience. You do not have to be an experienced rider as we had an orientation to the calm horses prior. He took pictures for us so we could enjoy the ride and sent them to us after. His dogs are the sweetest! Would do again!”
