What a truly amazing, unforgettable experience. It has always been a dream of mine to ride a horse through a vineyard in Italy and this tour made it possible. I have never seen anything more beautiful than the views of going through the vineyard. The tour and free time in San Gimignano was great, one of my favorite places in Tuscany. Wine tasting and lunch? Unbelievable! The lunch that was served was one of the best pastas I have eaten in Italy and the wine tasting was amazing. Our guide Giacomo was a big part in making this day so amazing. From the second we met at the meeting point to being dropped off, he truly helped make this whole day an unforgettable experience.

the trip was an amazing time. We enjoyed the entire day and made new friends as a part of our small group! Lorenzo was an amazing host and guide and really made our day memorable! The horseback ride was easy going even for first time riders. Lorenzo made sure to take pit stops to show us the best view points and take pictures. I highly recommend the small group and its a great opportunity to make new friends. The lunch and tasting was 10/10 and so much more than expected with the absolute best views of Tuscany!

This was my favorite tour in Italy, our tour guide Giacomo was very knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. We drove from Florence to a ranch near San Gimignano for horseback riding through the vineyards, with amazing views of the rolling hills covered in grape vines and olive trees, then we went inside the walled city to explore. We then had lunch and a wine tasting at a local farm with all local farm-to-table ingredients. This tour is definitely worth the money, and I would love to go again when I get a chance to return to Italy!
