We had an amazing day. Our guide Corrado was wonderful. He picked us up at our hotel and took us to the Hidalgo Ranch run by Sabrina and her wonderful family who took us on a fantastic trail ride. After the ride we were taken to an excellent local Sicilian restaurant for a delicious lunch. After lunch Corrado drove us up to the Mt Etna area where we hiked among volcanic lava flows and explored craters and caves. It was a great day to explore the Mt. Etna area, ride horses in the Sicilian countryside and have a delicious meal. Corrado is extremely knowledgeable of the history and geography of Mt. Etna which was a surprise bonus!

Our guide, Marco, was awesome! Not only was he on time, he was personable when sharing the many interesting facts about Sicily, the people, and the culture. Seeing the countryside by horseback was definitely out of our comfort zone, yet we found it to be relaxing and enjoyed every minute of it. Remember to bring sunscreen, shoes that you're okay with getting dirty, long pants (to protect your legs), and sunglasses (depending on the weather).
As for the traditional Sicilian lunch, be prepared to have a feast! Starting out with a glass of your choice of red or white wine. Our appetizer was equivalent to that of a charcuterie board! Given the size of the platter, we thought it was our meal. We proceeded to indulge in over 85% of the platter, as we could not possibly finish it between the three of us. As I sat there, while in conversation, I noticed the owner placed a small bowl of parmesan cheese on the table. I was of the belief that it was by mistake; however, it turned out, it was not! Next up was our macaroni with red sauce. Our American macaroni is not the same as the Sicilian macaroni and, without a doubt, falls short of the flavorful Sicilian version!! Once we were done with the main entree, we were offered dessert. Although I felt I could not possibly have anything else, I opted for the limoncello dessert. Needless to say, it did not disappoint!
We are eternally grateful for Marco and urge others to step out of their comfort zone to try something out of the ordinary...totally worth it!

We had a fantastic experience with this tour. Our guide - Maurizio - was incredible, the horseback ride was stunning (and the owners' son gave us three eggs that we had our hotel cook for us at breakfast!) and the lunch was delicious and filling for the belly and the soul.

I highly suspect they've switched stables because this tour is almost completely not as described. The ride is not through the beautiful countryside but on pavement and a dried up aqueduct/river bed through town complete with litter and garbage. None of the pictures are accurate. The riding is not 1.5 hours either. It is more like 40 minutes of boring, straight-lines walk. You do not get to practice with your horse. You do not canter or trot. You also do not arrive upon a farmhouse with olive & lemon trees. The lunch is after the riding. separate and arriving via car to a restaurant. A very average restaurant and not a local farmhouse. That said, the stable owners are extremely nice, the driver is incredibly friendly and knowledgable however either switch to the previous stable of show more accurate photo's so customers can have better expectations.
