★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 438 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $55

Review of the Gypsy Gold Horse Farm Tour near Ocala, with horse history, peaceful grounds, practical tips, pricing, and family advice.

“My partner and I were in Ocala for the Rock the Country concert and had some extra time and were looking for something to do. This was at the top of everyone's recommendations so we decided to do it last minute and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. What an incredible story Dennis Thompson had to share! The first half of the tour is some background and cultural education which only made the beautiful ranch more impressive, and the second half Dennis drove us and the other two people on our tour to see his many horses, donkeys, and mules where we could get out…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 363 reviews · 3h 30m · from $45

Explore Lexington’s horse country, Keeneland, and Thoroughbred farms on a practical 3.5-hour tour with expert local guides.

“We had family visiting from California, so i decided to book a tour which ended up as one of the hottest days in July, but it was awesome! Our tour guide, Tom, provided plenty of water and the van was decently air conditioned. My husband and i are from Lexington and never visited Keeneland or toured any of our beautiful horse farms, so this experience was extra special. Our guide, Tom, was knowledgeable about Lexington, the thoroughbred industry, and very engaging. We really enjoyed ourselves. If you want an opportunity to learn all the inside details, pet, and see thoroughbreds up close, I would definitely book a tour with Lexington…”

Review of Seville’s Yeguada Torreluna horse show, optional champion visit, transport tips, pricing, timing, and who will enjoy it.

“De show was heel mooi. prachtige paarden. Goede ruiters. Wat kan beter: Evenhorse is moeilijk te vinden voor de taxichauffeurs. Bij het trefpunt was niemand aanwezig en het was onduidelijk waar we naar toe moesten. we hebben zeker nog een kwartier moeten lopen tot we zagen waar we moesten zijn. Er was daar ook niemand die de tickets controleerde. we zijn dus maar gewoon gaan zitten. De ontvangst kan dus echt beter.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $134

Review of Lipica Stud Farm and Škocjan Caves from Koper, with practical tips on price, walking, pickup, horses, caves, and value.

“Read the description of the tour very carefully. The Lipica Stud Farm entrance fee is NOT included in the price of this tour. It will cost 16 Euro additional. I didn't pay the entrance fee because I felt for what we got the Farm fee should have been included. Also when organizing your pick up time be sure to clarify the time. The local tour company said they would pick us up at 8am from the dock. We were there at 7:50am. The drive to the caves took 15 minutes but did not open until 10am. We sat at the entrance to the CAVE for one hour 45 minutes. Not…”
