5.00This was such an amazing experience!! I am a solo traveler but met an amazing group of people doing the same horseback riding experience! Daniel (our tour guide) was so funny and informative, and he even offered to take really nice pictures for us. The lunch at the winery was fantastic, and there was loads of food (soup, cheeses, meats, bread, pasta, dessert) plus four wines to taste. Incredible price for the experience considering it includes the horseback riding, lunch, San Gimignano tour, wines (with refills included ;)), and round trip transportation! The horses are so nice, you absolutely don’t need any experience to have a great time. The views are so beautiful, I can’t wait to go back and do this again!
Amazing Day!

5.00What a fun experience with a small group out in the beautiful Italian countryside. Horseback riding, visit to San Gimignano and then lunch and wine tasting made for the perfect day.

5.00Our day in Tuscany was absolutely incredible, thanks to our guide, Giacomo. From the moment we were picked up, he made us feel welcome and kept us engaged with his wealth of knowledge about the region, Chianti wine, and the history of San Gimignano. He had the perfect mix of professionalism and personality, always sharing interesting stories, helpful travel tips, and hidden gems along the way. The entire experience was so well-organized — comfortable transportation in an air-conditioned van, a scenic horseback ride with beautiful photo spots, and a delicious Tuscan lunch complete with five cheeses, two local meats, and perfectly paired wines. The visit to the Chianti winery was a highlight, and the tasting of five wines and their olive oil was outstanding. San Gimignano was just as magical as we’d hoped, and Giacomo made it even more memorable with his insights into its medieval charm. This tour felt personal and authentic from start to finish. If you want to truly experience the heart of Tuscany with someone who loves what he does, ask for Giacomo — he made our trip unforgettable.
Memories, laughter and FUN! Are you ready??

5.00Where do we even begin?!? Such an incredible day led by Daniel and the FIT Team. 😊. The panoramic views experienced during the horseback ride were spectacular, the history shared, and the nooks and crannies explored, during the guided tour of San Gimignano were so much more compared to the big group we previously experienced. We had time on our own to take in more breathtaking views, purchase leather goods from the recommended Le Torri and sample the famous Dondoli gelato. Finally, our day concluded at Fattoria Poggio Alloro. The wine tasting, luncheon and Gratta/Limoncello tasting were divine. The team surprised me with a candle, singing and an Italian champagne tradition for my 50th Birthday! So very unexpected and so very kind indeed. I look forward to returning to Italy next year and I can’t wait to book my next adventure with FIT. With love - Melissa and Cyleigh 🤎
One of the Top Highlights of Our Trip!

5.00This experience was absolutely incredible from start to finish! Riding through the vineyards on horseback was straight out of a dream — peaceful, beautiful, and so well organized. The horses were calm and easy to ride, making it totally stress-free. We loved exploring a medieval Tuscan town and then finishing with an amazing lunch and wine tasting at a local winery. The staff at every stop were so welcoming, and the included transport made the whole day effortless. 10/10 recommend!

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.
