The 6 Best Horses Tours in Naples

1.Pompeii Guided Tour & Horse Riding on Vesuvius with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 419 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $240Our pick

Skip-the-line Pompeii guided tour plus a vineyard lunch, wine tasting, and horse riding on Vesuvius slopes, with optional Naples/Amalfi pickup.

Horseback on Vesuvius slopes from Pompeii, with panoramic views, calm beginner horses, helmets, and a calm small-group ride that stays crater-free.

“Totally fun experience. A wonderful way to spend the morning! The guide, Giuseppe, was knowledgeable, fun, and considerate. He worked with us to figure out a time to come out that worked for us, and picked us up at the train station at Pompeii (you can take the Circumvesuviana train from Naples - super easy to get there!). We had a great trail ride through the vineyards, then back to the barn, where he gave us a tour of the horses and sat us down to a delicious lunch. (I need to buy the local wine - it was really delicious, lightly sparkling.) Really a fun, interesting way of spending…”

4.Horse Riding on Mount Vesuvius

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 85 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $84

Private horseback ride in Vesuvius National Park, about 1 hour on calm horses, then aperitivo with local food at the ranch.

“The instructor Carlo is super patient and professional, which helped me to gain confidence handling the horse. Carlo is very passionate and knowledge about horses. Totally enjoyed chatting with him about horses and life experience after the horse riding session. Carlo is also a very good host and that makes the experience a even more enjoyable one for me. If you are in Naples, this is a must try. Would certainly comeback again when I am in Naples.”

Experience to be had absolutely.”
