Inammorato di Diaspora!
Wir haben Anfang Oktober die „kleine“ Trossa- Tour mit unseren Kindern (8&10) und der erfahrenen Eseldame Diaspora unternommen. Die Natur auf diese Weise kennenzulernen und Wege zu bestreiten, die man sich sonst gar nicht zutrauen würde (es ist zum Teil wirklich steinig, zerklüftet, steil und schwierig) hat uns alle sehr zufrieden gemacht und die Beschäftigung mit dem Esel lässt einen die Anstrengung und die Kilometer ganz vergessen. Die Unterkünfte waren ebenfalls sehr nett und gastfreundlich mit tollem Abendessen. Einziger Minuspunkt waren grässliche Betten und hellhörige Wände in der Fattoria Libbiano, wo wir kaum Schlaf fanden.
Insgesamt ist es eine einzigartige Erfahrung, einen solch charakterstarkem und gleichzeitig sanften, gutmütigen und treuen Esel kennenzulernen, mit dem man sich schon nach wenigen Stunden total verbunden fühlt.
Tinne hat eine super Organization mit ihrem GPS- und Kartensystem geschaffen und wir sind ihr dankbar für das geschwenkte Vertrauen, ihre Kunden mit ihren wertvollen Tieren losziehen zu lassen!
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder und unternehmen dann eine längere Tour!
At the beginning of October we booked a five day donkey trek. Our family are 5 persons: my husband, me and our 3 sons (17, 15 and 10 years old). Actually it was my idea to walk with a donkey through Tuscany. My older sons were skeptical about the planned hiking tour. But after the first day their opinion completely changed. They were excited! We spent marvelous days hiking through fields, woods and hills. We enjoyed delicious Italian food and the Italian hospitality. But first of all we loved our donkey Stella, she is a strong, patient and tender donkey lady! Tinne, thank you for this perfect family vacation!
Dear Tinne,
Bertine, the girls (6 and 8) look back with enormous pleasure on the trip with Diaspora “our” donkey, because that's how we saw it a bit when we said goodbye after the trip. The girls really enjoyed taking care of Dia. The clear explanations from you, the beautiful landscape, the agriturismo's with the delicious food, swimming pools and tremendously friendly people, it was all great. The girls found it quite tough at the end of the day in the heat, but leaving earlier next day is a good tip. The scenery when the sun is just rising is perhaps even more beautiful. We recommend it, here at home in Den Bosch, to everyone!
Paola, dolce Paola ... the little donkey we got to take on an adventure. And an adventure it was. Such a first time out with a 1.5 year old toddler and a 6 year old stepper in warm temperatures.
We're going to be honest. Although we chose the easiest and shortest hike, it was still tough with such a little one around BUT really a super fun experience that we as a family will not soon forget. Adventuring and sleeping in a tent (although with the youngest we would recommend spending the night at the agriturismo itself, we thought it was a bit adventurous).
Delicious meals, beautiful scenery, warm welcome!
Highly recommended for the adventurer with young children!
Hi Tinne, by now we are already a month further but still looking back on a fantastic trip. In mid-July we did a 4 day trip with Diaspora. A blissful animal! Our youngest of 7 could occasionally join us on her back, fortunately because on day 2 we got tremendously lost. After an hour of climbing and scrambling we found ourselves back on a gravel road where we had been before, our mistake! We deviated from the GPS route for a while. Don't do it I would say!!! Our oldest (17) then in her own way enjoyed caring and guiding Diaspora. We enjoyed the beautiful nature, silence and peace. All the lodgings were tiptop, including our tipi! Every evening and morning we enjoyed the delicious meal. Really a must! Thanks for this very special experience!
At the beginning of August, we went with our family (2 girls of 10 and 12) for two days with donkey Stella. After a very clear and good explanation from Tinne, we set off the next day. A beautiful trip right through the Tuscan hills, off the beaten track and without meeting anyone. The 12 km on day 1 was quite tough in the heat and on the climbs, but the reward in the beautiful Agritourismo with pool and delicious food was great. Day 2 again fresh on the road (10 km) and that already went much easier.
The experience of hiking and taking care of the donkey, the beautiful nature and the wonderful agritourisms made this trip unique and highly recommended!
Thank you Tinne for this experience and a big hug to Stella from our girls!
We (2 adults and 2 kids of 10 and 13) look back on very nice and special days with ‘our’ donkey Stella.
The whole experience: care of Stella, the beautiful surroundings, the beautiful overnight places with warm welcome, refreshing pool and delicious food, we would not have wanted to miss. We walked 2 days (9 and 13 km). It was hot and at times tough, but all the more satisfied we were on arrival!
We enjoyed the 5 day libbiano hike with our 3 kids ages 9, 7, and 4!
Clear instructions at the equestrian center, routes easy to follow using GPS, beautiful nature, and very nice agriturismo's! We got to know our donkey Camelia very well and had fun taking care of her. Nice and clean tents with good beds, good swimming pools and delicious food!
Per day tours done between 4 and 8 km, but nevertheless was quite tough at times due to the heat of 30+ degrees.
Highly recommended for an active vacation with a family with young children!
Wir waren Ende Juli 2021 für 5 Tage als Familie mit Kind und Hund mit unserem Esel Diaspora unterwegs. Wir hatten die Libbiano Tour gebucht. Wir sind täglich zwischen 4-8,5 km gelaufen. Es hat uns super viel Spaß gemacht. Wir haben die Strecken ein bisschen unterschätzt, da durch die Steigungen die km Anzahl bzw die Stundenanzahl deutlich höher waren als geschätzt. Die Strecken waren teilweise anspruchsvoll aber wir hatten an den meisten Tagen Glück mit dem Wetter und es war nicht zu heiss.
Alle Höfe were total freundlich und zuvorkommend. Auch unser Hund war überall willkommen. Die Tage vergingen wie im Fluge und wir haben jeden Tag etwas anderes gesehen und erlebt. Wir können die Tour zu 100% empfehlen und würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen.
For the second time we went on a donkey trek (and how lucky we were, we got "our" Stella again). First introduction was four years ago, with kids 8 and 10, now with two full-fledged teenagers.
The breathtaking nature, the always very nice and warm reception of the B&Bs, and the good care of Tinne made this vacation unforgettable. To everyone I know, I recommend Altratoscana! Thank you Tinne and Stella!
