5.00A calm and relaxing day in an area that I never knew about. The small town that we went into after the horseback riding was so neat.
If you want a true Tuscan...

5.00If you want a true Tuscan experience, look no further. This surpassed all expectations! Our guide, Daniele, was terrific. He showed us historic spots on our way through Florence to the farm, was with us every step of the way (minus the horse ride) to ensure all our needs were met, and taught us how to enjoy the Tuscan country side. The horse ride was absolutely stunning, with unbelievable views and breath taking scenery. The town visit was spectacular, and included some of the best gelato in the world (it has won multiple world contests)! The lunch was incredible, with all local products and delicious food every step of the meal. Can’t recommend this experience enough! If I could rate it a 6 out of 5 stars I would.
Awesome Guide

5.00My favorite part was the horses and Daniele our tour guide definitely made this trip. He was awesome suchhh a great personality! Everything was well organized i will say that the horses could be better taken care of. There were A LOT of flies and i know that cant be helped completely but they can minimize them with spray and cleaning. Their eyes were dirty with gunk and their tails weren’t brushed they had soooo many tangles and filled with foliage of the area and burrs. Everything else was amazing i like the small trip to San Gimignano! The drive back into the city was a lot of fun we listened to music and sang a long time familiar songs for everybody. Daniele made an effort to make everyone feel included and welcome. Great experience (:
Perfect mix of real local cultural experience, food

5.00Minimal horseriding experience required. Walking pace through vineyards with great panoramic views. Great, unlimited food and wine at the wine tasting with more photo ops. Stop in San Gimignano was just enough time to explore and get a gelato. Guide was great and knew how to work a slightly tipsy crowd on the ride home. Trip was worth the cost in my opinion.
