5.00We had the best time with Valentina! She was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed horseback riding, the horses were so great and so was our horseback guide. The wine tasting plus lunch was the perfect ending to the tour. The best lasagna I have ever had,

5.00We had the best day! Dom our tour guide was amazing, full of history and information, great English and very friendly. Horse riding was so beautiful. Yes the horses wanted to eat grass but a quick correction and off we went. It was so peaceful and the countryside was magical. Lunch and wine tasting was also beautiful with the most ridiculouly amazing lasagne! Our host was again so full of information and catered to our tastes. All round we had the best day. Definitely value for money would 100% reccomend 👌
Amazing experience!

5.00Really nice experience and very good organisation. The horse riding is very good for beginners (like me) and the wine tasting was amazing as well. Especially our guide Emanuel was very kind and had a lot of interesting information about the area, wine and football :)
Must do in Tuscany
