Farm Tours of Ocala

A Guided "Insider's Tour" of Ocala's Horse Country

Tours are $65 per person.  Mon to Sat. (CLOSED ON SUNDAYS)  starting at 830 AM. The tour is 3 to 3.5 hours long with lots of interaction with the horses at 3 locations. We are conducting Public Tours again in our vans with a limit of 8 people and a minimum of 3. Our guides have had Covid Vaccines.  Not a requirement but If you are uncomfortable with other people in the van, you can follow along in your own vehicle as your choice and we will call you via bluetooth. Sorry there is no discount for this. 

If you would like an afternoon tour, the pricing is $65 per person with a 6 PERSON MINIMUM. Please call to book and be aware that there is very limited availability with advanced notice for afternoon tours. Please contact us at farmtoursofocala@gmail.com for an afternoon tour.

Important Information: Private Tours

 We are phasing in our tours to one day a week on Fridays. Regretfully,we cannot accommodate our guest`s schedules and here is why. The farms we visit have not allowed visitors for months and until further notice, they are comfortable with one day a week on Fridays ONLY.  There is only one private group per Tour. It’s actually a great value as Pre COVID we were booked solid with Private Tours starting at $350. To provide safety for our guests, guides and venues, we comply with CDC guidelines and masks are required when you are outside your vehicle when the tour makes a stop. Your group will follow the tour van in your own vehicle and the guide will call you so that you can listen via Bluetooth. 

Pricing: $200 1-4 people, $300 5-6 people, $400 7-10 people. To book, click ”Book My Tour” We look forward to having you! 

The reason the start time is 8:30 is there’s more action and farms are closed in the afternoons.

Please be patient with this arrangement as this is a huge transition from how Pre COVID 19, we conducted our tours. We will maintain strict safety protocols. Farm Tours of Ocala is a small woman owned business that along with everyone else, has had tremendous financial struggles though this pandemic.

Great Tour!

Diane, our tour leader, was so informative about every part of the tour. I can’t believe how much we saw and learned during the four hours together…I knew nothing about horses before this tour, but Diane made the whole experience a joy, especially when we had the opportunities to get up close and personal with the horses and foals.

Amazing Tour!

What a wonderful tour! We so enjoyed seeing the thoroughbreds and Arabians at our first two stops. The owner of Pleasant Acres was so accommodating and informational about the stallion horses…We saw beautiful horse farms and were amazed at getting up close and personal with the horses…We loved the tour!!!

Great Time!

The tour was fantastic. I was impressed with all the information the guides provided. Transportation to and from was comfortable and the barns/farms we visited were amazing and the owner even came out and spoke with us at Pleasure Stallions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Ocala a horse person or not.

Karen was a terrific guide: friendly, knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed our tour, learned a lot and saw a lot of farms and horses we never could have seen on our own. Highly recommended.
