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 !!!

Amazing tour. Felt like family! - Thomas was our guide and was wonderful. He made us feel welcomed and very informative. It was my mother and I with a group of others. He made it so much fun and really helped us to get to know others in the group as well.
Cannot recommend this highly enough!

Perfect day trip to Tuscany! - We had a jam packed schedule for our honeymoon in Italy but really wanted to make a day trip to Tuscany. This was such a great way to experience Tuscany in a day! We had an awesome time horseback riding, checking out the medieval town of San Gimingnano, and wine tasting and eating lunch at the organic farm. Our tour guide was incredible! This was such a highlight during our honeymoon!

At one with nature! - This was an activity that I’d always wanted to do! The entire event was perfectly organized from start to finish and has to be one of THE best ways to experience the Tuscan countryside!! I will do this, again, on my next trip here!

Worth it! - Laurencio made this a great adventure and gathered our group and made our experience outstanding. Meeting up was seamless and the whole day lots of fun. Horses were well trained, vineyards and shopping with lunch very good.

Excellent - Having time in San Gimignano - delicious gelato
I’m a reasonably good rider so very much appreciated being given a fast horse which I could hold back then trot/canter to catch up
Glorious surroundings at farm/vineyard with delicious lunch and excellent wines
Guide, Max, was entertaining and informative.
Great day. Of course we did have perfect weather!
