Private tour of Castelbuono on the back of a donkey

Experience the charm of Castelbuono from a truly distinctive perspective: riding a donkey. As you amble through the historic village streets, the imposing castle and its clock tower will captivate your attention. The spiritual heart of the town, the mother church, awaits your visit. Immerse yourself in art and history thanks to a stop at local museums. Every corner narrates ancient tales, legends, and traditions that spring to life before your eyes.

The donkeys are more than just travel companions; they play a vital role in the village's daily life. They are the unsung heroes of door-to-door recycling collection, contributing to the community in an original and sustainable manner.

Before concluding your journey, a pause in Piazza Margherita offers a chance for both you and your donkey companion to refresh. While the donkeys quench their thirst at the fountains, indulge in either a sweet ice cream or a savoury treat, depending on your preference. This slow-paced exploration of Castelbuono allows you to discover every corner with tranquillity and curiosity.
