1.Paris Private Romantic Horse & Carriage Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 414 reviews · 1 hour (approx.) · from $169Our pick

Set out from the Eiffel Tower in a private Burgundy carriage with an English-speaking coachman, passing Pont Alexandre III, the Champs-Elysées, and Avenue Rapp. Philippe often drives, with Champagne, blankets, rain cover, photo stops, and longer or Cinderella carriage upgrades available.

“This was the most magical and romantic way to explore Paris. 100% would do this again. The carriage driver was so professional and informative. He took the most incredible photos using our phone in front of some picture perfect spots. I messaged him before hand to confirm meeting point and he provided a clearer description of the meet up point and arrived 10 minutes early. I proposed on this horse and carriage ride and it was like a fairy tail, my partner absolutely loved every second. This is a must. You will not be disappointed, you will feel like a VIP for the ride!”

4.Horseback Riding with meals and wine included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 26 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $165

Spend about four hours at Cavalieri di Gaia, grooming and riding horses through Rome’s coastal nature reserve near Ancient Ostia. Guide Alessia teaches riders at every level, then serves typical Roman food, wine, and possibly coffee near Giulio II Castle. Confirm pickup and meal details before booking.

“Let's start with the good parts. The ranch experience was lovely, we got to feed and brush the horses. It was nice to be up and close to bond with them before the ride. Prepare to get dirty, no clean shoes or hands 🤣 lovely cats also on thr ranch, very friendly. We were beginners, so went for a ride around the forest, it was beautiful. We travelled by public transport (which is easy, so don't be put off) to the meeting point. We got there for 9.45am, to meet for 10am. We didn't have signal to contact why no one was turning up, luckily there was another 3 people…”
