Very cool tour/day trip set up BUT if it has been raining, DO NOT go. The horses made it known it was not appreciated, and it was pretty stressful for everyone involved. Everything else was incredible, the food, the wine, the views... unbelievable experience.

We had a great time horseback riding through the vineyards of Tuscany. The horses were gentle and easy to manage. They also looked well fed and well cared for. The wine tasting was excellent as well! We didn't realize we were in for such a treat! We tasted 6 wines and each wine was served with food that paired perfectly. The wines were fantastic and we even ordered some to enjoy at home with our wine group. Our visit to San Gimignano was spectacular. As you walk through the gates of the ancient, walled city, you are transported back in time. It is simply amazing that the buildings have been there for so long and still look so good. If only the walls could talk! It is worth a long walk up the stone steps to see the views of the valley below. There aren't enough words to describe it! Our tour guide was Christian and he was very knowledgeable and answered our flurry of questions! He was very entertaining and very accommodating! I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to see Tuscany! It wasn't too long and fit in our schedule so we could take in as much of Florence and Tuscany as we could!

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!!
