Donkey rides in Italy

Are you sporting And looking for an original way to discover Tuscany? Or do you want to get the kids excited for a hiking vacation? Our donkey trekking tours are a unique experience for young and old. During the donkey rides, a donkey carries the luggage while you walk carefree through the beautiful Tuscan countryside. Donkeys are ideal hiking companions: they are sweet, strong and patient, which is why even children love to take care of them and accompany them during the walks. The treks are available in formulas of three, five or seven days. Each day you walk over quiet dirt roads and trails, with ever-changing views of the Tuscan countryside. Accommodation is in atmospheric agriturismi, where you can relax at the pool and enjoy a typical Italian dinner with local products. These hiking vacations are ideal as sporting family vacation, but also perfect for friends or couples who want to combine nature, peace and adventure.
