“Fun time riding horses and meeting some gregarious locals while not too far outside of Rome. We went in the afternoon so we didn’t get the breakfast but sounds like other enjoyed that bit as well. Would have been nice to see more ruins on the ride but overall was certainly worthwhile as we enjoy horseback riding and try to do so wherever we travel. Fun leaders!”
