We joined Luc de Keersmaecker on a four-day donkey ride with Selvaggia and Carolina ; two nice docile donkeys with a healthy appetite ( many attempts at snacking along the way) ... like all donkeys so .
We enjoyed new , beautiful scenery every day and were pleasantly surprised every evening upon arrival at the agriturismo ... good food with one time even a real ' 15th of August party ' .
We've done many donkey rides but in terms of directions this one really stood out head and neck ... the GPS and color marking are fantastic and made sure it remained adventurous yet doable .
A big congratulations to Tinne and the donkeys .... this is highly recommended .
We spent six days enjoying the Tuscan countryside along with Selvaggia. During the period we walked it was very hot: up on time and the prospect of a pool made the kids (6, 8 and 10) keep it up!
We had a modified tour because we had a rest day after 3 days. Given the heat, that was secretly nice, also nice: just 1 day of lazing around at the agroturismo. Very hospitable people and beautiful views: we can recommend it to everyone to get to know the area. Tinne, thank you very much!
We did a four-day trek with 4 people and two donkeys: Selvaggia and Carolina, two affectionate, quiet and reasonably docile quadrupeds. The tour was wonderful and perfectly organized by Tinne. We especially enjoyed the copious Ferragosto feast at La Landuccia and the discovery of the dilapidated but picturesque San Michele "spa" from the 15th century. All the overnight stays were pure luxury and the hosts were friendly and helpful. I wanted to extend my thanks to Tinne for driving with me to Cecina to take away our replacement car. This was already my fourth donkey trek (after the three in France), but this was by far the best and the most beautiful!
We did a 4-day trek with the punk of donkeys: Fiamma. She has the longest mane but soon turned out to be a very sweet donkey. The welcome by Tinne was warm and we received clear explanations on how to handle and take care of the donkey. It was a fantastic experience about which our 2 children (5 and 3) were also very enthusiastic. Day trips of 10 km were very easy for the children and they still had energy left to play afterwards in the beautiful pools of the agriturismi. Everywhere we were well received and received a very good service. Definitely to be repeated and highly recommended! Thank you Tinne.

We had wonderful hiking days with each other and the donkey in the beautiful Tuscan countryside! The agriturismos were super located and we enjoyed swimming and eating there. The hikes were quite tough. But we are proud to have done it together.
Tinne, thank you for this wonderful experience. We look back on some very nice days! Thanks again!
We took our kids on an unforgettable trip with our donkey through Tuscany. Through fields, over boulders and through a river. The five of us, a donkey and beautiful views. And after the hot and intensive trip resting at quiet and nice agriturismos. Delicious. Everything was super arranged!
In June 2018, we ran the six-day 'Il Giro' . We can only agree with the enthusiastic comments. It is a wonderful tour with a hospitable welcome and delicious food every night. The tour is a bit spicier than the km indicate, especially in hot weather. There are quite a few climbs in it. In retrospect, we should have booked a rest day after day 3, 4 or 5. These are accommodations with lovely pools. Tinne thanks for the warm welcome and good luck with this initiative.
We enjoyed the fantastic trip with donkey Selvaggia! The five of us (Selvaggia & our little family with two children aged 5 and 8) did the five-day Libbiano. Some parts went smoothly, some parts were (very) tough, but we were always able to reach our goal (the next agriturismo) in the early afternoon. This left us time to enjoy the warm welcome, the pools with a view and the delicious food. Sleeping in the tents gave the trip an extra fun dimension.
Thank you Tinne and Altratoscana for organizing these fantastic walks!
Thank you, Tinne, for the great hikes we made with our new hero Otto! Honestly, 9 and 12 km up and down steep hills was a little bit too challenging for our 7, 6 and 4 year olds (the youngest even had chicken pox during the tour, poor thing...), but they did great! It was Otto who made them accomplish this challenge. He waited for them when they were too far behind and he let them sit on his back when things got too heavy (uphill).
Both agriturismi were wonderful with great friendly staff and wonderful food.
It was an experience to never forget! Thanks and we will pass on the word and publicity!

Hello Tinne,
We did the 6 day long hike together with the donkeys Otto and Carolina. Especially the long hikes of almost 15 km were tough in the hot July sun. But the satisfaction afterwards the beautiful paths and the hospitable agriturismo's made up for everything. Along the way you meet no one, so you are really with your family and the donkeys. Otto and Carolina were super sweet and welcome travel companions. Highly recommended this week. Twan, Loeky, Fenna, Tomas and Zoë
