An old riding school situated in a tranquil and peaceful area immersed between the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside. After a short journey on our private air conditioned minivan, the horses will be there waiting for us. Don’t worry if you haven’t ridden a horse before, the experienced staff will make sure you feel confident before leaving for a ride. We will ride through lush vineyards, native woods, olive groves and rolling hills for a collection of breathtaking and unforgettable views.
The tour starts with the electric bike ride from Piazza del Municipio and continues by train to Bolgheri.
Bolgheri is, above all, a state of mind, a way of life, the rarefied atmosphere of a world that a lot of people believe it no longer exists. As in a mosaic, the single pieces which compose it are of precious materials and colors, but observing them one by one there is no perception of the overall picture. Nature here remains in a pristine state; woods dominate the hillsides which, running parallel to the coast, protect it from winter's worst cold. The vineyards, often wedged into the green of forest spaces or of ancient olive groves, dominates, together with the silent whistling of the wind, a landscape drawn discretely by the human hand.
You will also enjoy a delicious lunch and wine tasting inside Bolgheri.

Travelling is a unique experience. You will always remember it thanks to the details, the smells and the views you will bring back. But memories cannot exist without real personal experiences.
Our 500 vintage Tour has originated from this philosophy. Our car fleet includes a vintage FIAT 500, carefully renovated while preserving the original traits. If you join our tour, you will enjoy two typical aspects of Tuscany at the same time: the breathtaking landscape of the Bolgheri hills and the genius of FIAT 500, which has characterized Italian history for long.
Our itinerary in the land of the Super Tuscans begins in Bolgheri, a beautiful medieval town that’s close to the sea, but immersed in a countryside that’s rich in vines and olives. The scenery is characterized by a lovely castle and ancient stone palazzos.
This magical and poetic land, the cradle of sought-after wines like the Ornellaia and Sassicaia, immortalized by the words of Giosuè Carducci “The cypresses of Bolgheri, tall and frank, go all the way to San Giudo in double lines…” So there’s nothing left to do but take that aforementioned splendid tree-lined avenue to Castagneto Carducci.
On your trip to Tuscany do not miss on this opportunity to visit one of Italy’s most popular destinations, known all over the world for its stunning monuments and its unique Leaning Tower.
Once you get off the cruise ship, at a very near spot to your arrival site you will find an air conditioned GT coach or minivan ready to pick you up. The road to Pisa is only a 40 minutes ride, during this time a tour leader on board will give you some information on Pisa and some useful tips to get around during your walk.
The coach will escort you very close to the city centre, just 700 meters away from Piazza dei Miracoli, where you will find the amazing Leaning Tower and many other buildings that you can admire from this beautiful square, such as the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the monumental Cemetery. Just roam around and enjoy being surrounded by the architectural beauty that this religious site offers, and don’t forget to take the famous picture holding the Leaning Tower!

The scenic hill village of Montenero, already famous among tourists back in the eighteenth century due to the enchanting scenery, owes its name to its outline, which from far away appears dark and gloomy (nero, which means “black”).
Montenero is located about 10 kilometers away from the city of Livorno, and it is home to one of the most important Sanctuaries in Italy, dedicated to Maria delle Grazie, Patron Saint of Tuscany.
Built to celebrate a miracle performed by the Virgin Mary at the bottom of the hill, the Sanctuary of Montenero has become during the centuries a special pilgrimage place, which reflects the deep sense of faith and religious worship that is so strong among the sea populations such as, of course, the inhabitants of Livorno.
