Best experience ever!!! - This was such an incredible experience! I had booked this last minute for my birthday while on a solo vacation, I was nervous at first because I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into but was staying positive about doing something out of my comfort zone and was just excited to drink wine and ride a horse. The day ended up being so much more than that! The food was amazing, the wine was amazing, the experience itself was honestly just very surreal and everyone involved was absolutely wonderful! Danielle along with the rest of his team were fantastic and I appreciate them all so much for being able to make my birthday vacation so special within just a few hours. Not only was Danielle a great driver but great dj, photographer and everything in between, he was really well prepared for anything. Him and his team are very helpful, kind, fun, respectful and you can just tell they really care about their jobs and the ways it impacts people. I also ended up meeting 5 other girls while there and they were so sweet, all studying abroad and they ended up inviting me out afterwards for my birthday, so all around it was a super fun, relaxing and entertaining experience / day and my only regret is not booking it sooner! I will definitely be back to book with them again!!

Amazing Getaway from the City - Daniello was a wonderful guide from start to finish. He gave us information about several landmarks in Tuscany, and kept the tour going at a timely, yet enjoyable pace. Many highlights were had, the major ones being the horseback riding in the countryside, exploring San Gimignano (best gelatteria), and the wine tasting experience with dinner. Truly a wonderful time - NOT TO MISS and truly worth every dollar. The value of the experience you get surpasses whatever you pay. Thank you!

Enchanting - If you are looking for the trip of a lifetime, this tour is for you! The 13th century town in amazing and the gelato will haunt me! The horses were so well behaved. Tour guide Medi was knowledgeable and very kind and informative. Jacamo the horse guide was the best too! Lunch at the tuscan farm to table was delightful and was more than I expected. Finished with pannacota and lemonchelo. The whole day was enchanting frome beginning to end! Highly recommend!

Horsing Around in Wine Country w the Fam- this is why u need to take this tour if u r in Florence kids - Our tour guide Max was absolutely phenomenal!! He made the trip so much fun and was so knowledgeable about Florence. Lots of info and lots of laughs! We were traveling w an 11 and 14yr old and Max did an amazing job of engaging our kids into the history of Florence! He literally engaged the kids the entire day. The kids weren’t even on their phones during the tour, lol
Max went out of his way to take us on a scenic drive through Florence as well as Tuscan country roads
This tour is the PERFECT tour for parents who would really prefer to go wine tasting and see the Tuscan region but know that isn’t a great entertaining option for kids. This is the best of both worlds. A little bit of each. Horse back riding, Seeing the old city and ending w wine tasting is perfect..
Starting out w the horse riding was so beautiful and peaceful through the vineyards and countryside while also San Gimigano in the background.. then wandering around the town grabbing a slice of Za and Gelato. Then a lovely lunch at a family owned farm w great food and sooo much wine! Bought the cookbook, spices and olive oil as a souvenir. Enjoyed ending our day overlooking the countryside w a glass of wine..
Such a memorable day !!!!
San Gimigano is not a full day type of town.. so if u did Siena by bus (super easy) a diff day you still get to see San Gimigano on this tour
We were sooooo glad we booked this tour last minute and it was worth every penny!! (It seemed expensive at first when I put 4 people in but it really wasn’t when you think of all the value you get and the fact that it’s a full day tour)
Max our tour guide made this tour as awesome as it was.. we were soooooo lucky to have him as our tour guide and the tour company is very fortunate to have him guiding for them!
When we return we will definitely be doing another tour w “Uncle” Max!!! Gratzi Mille !!

the cutest horse ride and tour ever! - we booked a day prior so it was very last minute plans but it turned out to be the best idea ever!
it was my bestie and although it’s a group tour, we were the only ones who booked that day so we had our own little private tour!!! Daniele was our guide and he was amazing, very passionate about the place and very good vibes!!! we loved it and we will definitely be back to try the Vespa tour in the future!!! 🫶🏻

Best day ever - This experience was so beyond our expectations- it’s was incredible !!! We had a group of 6- every single person described the day as epic !!!! Our wonderful guide made us terrific but every stop was just the best !!! I would say that the description in the advertisement doesn’t fully express just how great this is !!!
