Horseback Ride
IMPORTANT: Our supplier has currently suspended this service, so we are no longer able to confirm availability until further notice.
Explore the most famous of the Roman roads—the Via Appia Antica—on horseback. This experience will allow you to discover a wealth of historical sites and monuments that tell the story of Republican and Imperial Rome, all while surrounded by nature just a few kilometers from the center of Rome.
Business Overview
Horseback Ride a Few Kilometers from Downtown Rome
First, the Baths of Caracalla, the Porta San Sebastiano and the Aurelian Wall, the Tomb of Geta, the Tomb of Priscilla, the Imperial Palace complex and the Circus of Maxentius, the great tower-shaped mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, the Villa dei Quintili, the Great Cylindrical Tomb—also known as Casal Rotondo—followed by the Catacombs of San Callisto, Domitilla, and San Sebastiano, and finally the Basilica of Praetextatus.
In addition, numerous medieval, Baroque, and Renaissance churches line the route, such as Santa Maria in Palmis—better known as Quo Vadis—as well as medieval towers and fortifications, often built on the ruins of Roman monuments.
Discover this exceptional site on horseback in complete safety, accompanied by an expert equestrian guide. This experience is also suitable for beginners! It’s a unique and charitable activity, as a portion of the proceeds is donated to an organization dedicated to horses and nature conservation.
Horseback Ride Along the Famous Via Appia Antica
After a brief introduction to the equestrian center, you’ll have the opportunity to get to know the horses by taking care of them (feeding them, giving them water, and tending to their stalls). Then, your riding experience will begin as you prepare your horse—grooming it, saddling it, and putting on its harness—before setting off on your ride!
Head out into the countryside to reach the Via Appia Antica, passing through a magnificent park teeming with nature and archaeological monuments. Your equestrian guide will recount the history of this ancient road connecting the historic center of Rome to southern Italy!
After exploring part of Appian Park, you’ll return to the equestrian center. If you’d like, we can arrange lunch at the end of the 10 a.m. ride.

What are the terms and conditions for changes or cancellations?
Since every event is unique, the cancellation policies depend on the requirements of our local partners (hotels, private venues, or sites with strictly named-ticket policies, such as the Colosseum). These policies are always clearly and transparently outlined in your quote and contract.
-
Agency Fees: Upon signing the contract and paying the first installment, the agency fees are considered definitively earned and non-refundable, even in the event of a cancellation at no charge by the service providers.
-
Supplier Services: Cancellations of services (accommodations, activities, guides) are subject to the specific schedule outlined in your contract, based on the date the cancellation is notified.
What payment methods are accepted?
We offer two secure payment methods:
-
Bank transfer (SEPA or international): This is our preferred payment method. Any fees charged by your bank for the transaction are your responsibility.
-
Credit Card: You can pay directly online through our ultra-secure partner platform, Stripe. Note: A 3.9% transaction fee applies to the total amount for credit card payments.
Can I make a reservation directly on the website?
No, it is not possible to make a reservation or pay directly online.
Unlike automated booking platforms (such as GetYourGuide or Viator), we do not offer standardized services. Every event or corporate retreat is unique: we create a fully customized program to ensure the actual availability of our local partners, verify the logistical feasibility of your project, and tailor the terms to the specific needs of your group. After you’ve shared your preferences via the “Discuss My Project” button or confirmed “My Selection, ” a dedicated project manager will work with you to refine your specifications before sending you a detailed quote.
