Fun and Engaging - This was the highlight of my trip to Rome! Alessia was very knowledgeable not only about the horses but also about the area and archeology. As a study abroad student she knew things that we didn’t even learn about! As a longtime equestrian Alessia was great at figuring out the skill of her riders to make the most out of the ride. I had an absolute blast trotting through the woods and cantering on the beach with a very smart and kind mare. I liked it so much I ended up spending the better part of the day there helping round up the horses. I would do it again in a heartbeat, it was worth it!

the best day!! - I had the best time with Cavalieri di Gaia. I’m a study abroad student in Rome, and it was wonderful to have a breath of fresh air outside the city center. I’ve been riding and competing horses my whole life, and it absolutely made my semester to be able to be around horses in such a beautiful place. It was truly the most fun I’ve had this year. Alessia was so kind and welcoming. She gave me a tour of the ancient ruins and the forest trails on our way down the beach. This is a must do!!

Highlight of the holiday - It was an indescribable experience. The horses were balanced and super good. The tour was beautiful and the hostess was reason enough to spend the day there.

Great day with Alessia and the horses! - I had the best time with Alessia and her crew! I couldn’t find the Dolce Caffe right away, so I was late and she was late, but it was definitely worth the wait! She and her staff are so knowledeable about the area,culture, horses, plants, and trees and I learned so much from them. I’ve never ridden on the beach or in the dark before, so it was an amazing experience!! I’m a Horticulture Agent, so I appreciated seeing the pine trees, palmettos, and bermudagrass. The horses and cats are well cared for and beautiful. My hotel was further away, so it took about 2 hours with changing metros and trains. I paid 12 euros for a 2 day card and was able to see the Vatican, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, and the Colloseum on the same card the next day too. I stayed at the Palazzo Sant’ Antonio Roma and got on the red line A (after walking a short distance) at Cornelia towards Anagnina. I got off at Termini and then got on the blue Line B towards Laurentina. Then I got off at the Piramide station and got on the San Paolo urban railway (locals call it Freccia del Mare) and got off at Ostia Antica. Then you need to cross a walking bridge, curve around to the right on Romagnoli St and the coffee shop is a busy happening place on the right. I missed it because gps was telling me it was across the road. I hope this review helps others to have an amazing time like I did!! It was the trip of a lifetime!!

Sunset at the beach - Going to the beach at sunset with the horse was my dream and I finally realized it in the best way! The sympathy and professionalism of Alessia were the icing on the cake. Top horses!

Walk top - Spectacular walk by the sea, gallop at sunset a truly memorable experience. Super horses and really beautiful.

Simply WoW - The best horseback riding I have ever done, wonderful horses all super nice and prepared can make you feel at home already after a few minutes. Recommendation to try to believe, I for my part will definitely be back!!!

Amazing Horse Back Riding On The Beach - This was an AMAZING experience. Our hosts were very kind, organized, and accommodating. We rode horses through a wooded trial, on the street, and along the beach. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Rome. I would like to say that this activity is not for beginners and you definitely need to know what you are doing around horses to do this safely.

The sea and the horse - The experience of horseback riding along the beach of Ostia is simply enchanting. The guide is competent and attentive to the well-being of both the horses and the participants, ensuring that everyone has fun in complete safety. I highly recommend anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to explore the beauty of the Roman coast who has some horse riding experience as the route involves difficulties that cannot be faced by beginners.

Disappointing and misleading experience – a real steal! - We booked the “A cavallo al mare” experience proposed on the website of the Knights of Gaia (99 € per person!) after some telephone exchange with the owner, expecting what was described and told over the phone: a PRIVATE horseback riding tour with arrival on the BEACH and LUNCH included. In reality, nothing was promised. Lunch was NOT included, we had to provide ourselves to pay for a lunch that among other things sandwiches and drinks came to cost 50 €. The manners were rude, cold and never welcoming. We never felt comfortable, indeed, there was a tense and unhelpful atmosphere for the duration of the excursion. Considering that we are dealing with animals, it would have been right to instill security and tranquility, instead we lived everything with discomfort. “A horse to the sea”? We arrived at the beach for a few minutes, only to be sent back immediately due to work in progress. But really nobody bothered to check the route BEFORE charging us 99 € each? Given the mismatch between what was promised and what was actually offered, we requested a partial refund, but the owner responded with a rude tone and no availability. An experience that, given the cost incurred (over 350 € for three people), should have guaranteed much more standards. We strongly advise against it. A total lack of professionalism and fairness.
