Explore the Tuscan countryside in a most delightful way... on horseback!

This was the best tour we’ve had our whole trip!!!! We noticed the week of, that the day we had this booked for was going to be heavy, severe thunderstorms and were just anxious and waiting to see what would happen because we had so many other things booked and were unable to move anything else around to change the day. Our tour guide, Christian, had been closely monitoring the weather and working behind the scenes with the winery/farm and stables to move our tastings and tours around so that we were still able to do EVERYTHING in between the breaks in weather!!! The horses were so sweet, beautiful, and patient with a bunch of nervous first-time riders… as were Simon and Tom the ride guides. It was by far the most stunning and natural feeling way to see the picturesque Tuscan countryside! San Gimignano was an absolute jewel box of a town, even exploring it in the pouring rain was a treat. Would love to go back someday! The wine tasting and fresh farm-to-table food were absolutely delicious, informative, and at such a gorgeous farm. It was the perfect Tuscan countryside adventure we were hoping for. Christian was so nice, funny, smart, and just all around above and beyond! We could not recommend this trip any more!!!!

Everything about this trip was perfect from start to finish. Easy pickup/drop off. Super friendly guide who was very accommodating. The horse ranch was idyllic, with well kept horses who were easy to ride for a beginner. Views were out of this world. Shopping time in the beautiful San Gamiguono and a fabulous lunch with amazing views and plentiful wine. Would highly recommend for a nice mix of active and relaxation time.

Awesome and well organized trip. We met up in Florence and took a 45 min drive to the ranch. The horse ride was about an hour, then we went into San Gimingiano for some shopping, photos, and gelato! The last stop was the winery where we had a nice lunch and some great wines. I even bought some to ship home!

Excellent service and personalities!! Drive is perfect because you see some country side. Lunch and wine tasting awesome-right amount. Smaller vineyard (which I prefer ). Trail ride sufficient-horses were older and very tired. I am a horse person so that bothered me - but all in all very good. Our church guide was excellent.
