    The donkey trekking experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. Salvo, the owner and guide, was a wonderful ambassador for Sicily and its natural environment. The donkeys were sweet and well-cared for and the ride and scenery were amazing. Afterwards we shared homemade wine and homegrown peaches with Salvo and his parents and their friends, who had been trimming olive trees there on the farm. Although none of them spoke English and we didn't speak Italian we had a fantastic time communicating with them and enjoying their company. The entire experience was great!

    It was an impromptu stay during a trip around Sicily with friends and we had a great few days here. Some horse riding and some just chilling or walking. Mark is an excellent host and made use feel very welcome.
    We're all making plans to head back there.

    Gianni was absolutely amazing. While it was my first time ever riding, it was exhilarating as the scenery and terrain was magnificent.

    The 3 hour tour showcased the beauty of the mountains, coast, caves and marble mines.

    I would highly recommend to anyone who loves nature, animals and a fun time!

    I recently went on the coast to coast ride and it was an experience not to be missed. The guides were very helpful and showed us the true Sicily where no cars or even walkers can go. It was amazing to see such expanse of unspoiled countryside and ride lovely horses - forward going but well behaved and well looked after. Accommodation was rustic as expected but own en suite bathroom and delicious food and wine. I would recommend this highly.

    Me and my friend booked a 2 hours horse riding tour and we had the best time ever! Orazio, our guide was amazing. We did not have much experience, but he was very patient and flexible.
    We had a beautiful morning ride on the slopes of Etna, he even showed us some ancient caves on the way back. We really had a great time, and enjoyed every minute of it. Once we were ready he told us that he took photos. He did indeed...over 70 pictures/videos! 🤩we were so surprised and happy about it! We now have loads of memories of this great tour. We would definitely recommend them, especially Orazio. Keep up the great job!

    Great horseback riding experience. The owner is a great guide. We had a lovely day exploring the nature reserve. We would definitely recommend Fontana Trekking. The home-made wine and Olive oil are definitely worth a taste.

    Alessandro was quick to respond to questions during the booking process. The horses were reluctant to 'go to work' at first but proved themselves to be sure-footed on the at times rocky path which slowly wound up Mt. iIice. This was definitely an intermediate and above ride with well-looked after horses (Maya and Victoria) that needed a firm hand, but were reliable and had some life in them. Alessandro took plenty of pictures and sent them soon after we were finished. I recommend Sicily Horse Riding to anyone who want a real horse experience in this rugged and beautiful part of the world.

    If you want to have a wonderful horseback riding experience in the wonderful nature of Etna, Petra’s place is highly recommended. The horses are super friendly, experienced and perfect for a trail ride or for a first experience for beginners. Petra is a very good teacher with good instruction. The small farm with its animals is made with a lot of love and perfect for families.
    It is a perfect way to explore the beautiful surrounding of Etna.

    We all loved our 3 hour ride through the Valley of the Temples - the horses are well looked after and reliable. Three of us ride but my husband doesn't- not a problem. It's a beautiful, peaceful ride in the countryside. You go past some of the less well known temples which we enjoyed and see the ' famous' ones from a distance - we went back on foot to explore these further. We loved this trip and Alsessandro was super friendly.

    Such a great experience! We had a beautiful 2 hour ride through the mountains near Marineo, the views were incredible! The horses were very safe and full of personality, I rode Blue and my bf rode Puma - such sweet horses! The guides were so friendly and gave us a wonderful ride - thank you to Giada and Judit!
