Outstanding Experience - My wife and I booked the Falconry Experience in Tuscany and met David’s today. What a great experience . David’s had a gal on that he has had for a number of years . He explained its history and how he hit involved with all types of animals but in particular falcons and eagles. We got yo put on a leather arm sleeve and Daivide had the falcon fly off and then return to our arms. It was so cool. We also got to interface with an eagle which was a once in a lifetime experience. If you want to try a unique experience check out this great experience.

Fabulous morning! - We had a fantastic experience with Davide and his beautiful raptors Brave and Ivy. We found Davide and his partner to be very friendly and welcoming. Davide was very knowledgeable and passionate and always ready to answer our questions. We highly recommend this experience for anyone with a desire to see a beautiful bird of prey up close and flying free.

Unique experience that we will remember, recommended to everyone. - Davide is an experienced person who manages to share with great empathy his passion for birds of prey. He gave us interesting explanations and stories giving us instructions in a simple and engaging way. It was a great emotion for the whole family to be able to see Brave, a female Harris buzzard, soar in flight and rest on our arm with her glove in the almost desert landscape of the Crete Senesi. The experience is risk-free (if anyone was wondering), the buzzard is well trained and used to people and David is in full control. Our daughter, 11, was thrilled. To accompany everything we were provided with photos and a professional film as a souvenir of the day. It was nice to see Ivy, a female Nepalese eagle that David retrained on the fly. We thank Davide for sharing this passion with us and for allowing us to enter this world.

Amazing experience in the Tuscan countryside. - We had a wonderful experience with Davide and his birds. He was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about hawks, their habitats and training. He made sure everyone in our group had one on one time with his hawk. He has a wonderful bond with his hawks, which made for a great experience. The weather was forecast to be very hot, so he offered to adjust the time to meet earlier in the day. The area of Tuscany is stunning and was a lovely background to watch the hawks fly. Overall we had a fantastic outing and will repeat this experience on our next visit.

Thanks to Davide and Brave! Highly recommended! - A truly unique and engaging experience that allowed me to admire up close the beauty and strength of magnificent birds of prey. It was exciting to walk in nature calling the Harris buzzard to my fist, Brave! All accompanied by explanations from Davide who, with professionalism and passion, provided me with clarifications on the behavior of birds of prey and training techniques. Gem at the end: the majestic eagle Ivy! Highly recommended!

Unforgettable encounters with majestic birds of prey - Engaging Encounters with Birds of Prey - The falconry experience in Tuscany was extremely informative and educational. The animals were treated lovingly and respectfully, which we particularly appreciated, showing that they feel comfortable. The meeting point offered a breathtaking view, and the photos and HD-quality video were delivered quickly. Davide speaks very good English and is extremely understanding and friendly. Especially impressive were the birds Brave and Ivy, who made a very positive impression and were full of anticipation. A highly recommended experience that shows how harmoniously humans and animals can work together. The falconry experience in Tuscany was extremely informative and educational.

Pure emotion - It was a beautiful experience! Being able to see up close and interact with these beautiful creatures is truly exciting. Davide is very good and knowledgeable and explained many things to us about birds of prey, all in total safety! It is clear that he is passionate about his work and that he loves animals. Another thing not to forget: you can admire the flight and at the same time enjoy the spectacular panorama of the Crete Senesi. Highly recommended experience! When I return to Tuscany I will repeat it!
