I joined a horse riding and olive oil tour with my two daughters.
The horses were well trained, and even beginners could feel safe and comfortable.
Simona was very helpful in organizing everything and arranging the pick-up, which made the whole experience smooth and easy for us.
After enjoying the beautiful Tuscan scenery, we visited an olive oil farm, where the guide was very kind. The olive oil tasting was very interesting, and the garden lunch with cheese, ham, and wine was absolutely delicious and wonderful in the fresh air.
This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Florence.
We also really appreciated the pick-up service from the city and the flexibility with timing.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful fun but a bit overpriced
We enjoyed our Italian adventure today. Started with some history and each stop we would be making along the drive. The horseback riding along the trails was beautiful and we greatly enjoyed it. Our only complaint was that it felt rushed and the man leading us was quite impatient. After our ride, we went to the olive oil estate and had a wonderful tour by one of the workers there. The tasting was lovely but we were under the impression that we would be having a lunch and not just a charcuterie (based on the hefty price of this excursion). After we drove back to our hotel, we were rushed to make payment and were trying to quickly count the amount owed. We were not offered change and had to overpay as we were hurried out of the car.

You did not book on Viator, nevertheless the duration of the tour and its rate matched exactly the description on Viator= 1h of country trail ride, 1h30 min at the olive oil estate (and you stayed there 1h45) + "olive oil tasting paired with wine and snacks" well described on Viator + all the transfer times.
Moreover the tour was private and never proposed as a 1day-tour. Ordinary total time from pick up at 9h30 to 2p.m.
Dropping you off at your hotel was not our duty at all but it has been an extra offered gladly and free of charge, because we exceptionally could.
All the Viator's or non-Viator's guests are treated exactly the same.
The excursion is mainly based on the horse ride and the olive oil tour.
You paid the tour exactly what was previously agreed (tarif for a 2people tour online on Viator).

Complete gift set tours in Florence
Staying in Florence, I was able to ride, tours and meals at the wineries, and learn how to make olive oil. The riding course was varied and it was fine. For pre-training for First-timer or long rides, it would be better to take a break.
The wine meal was excellent. I think it was the coolest Coldcut I've ever seen. Olives and soprita were very delicious, and the antichoke was the first time! The pasta was great.
Pairing with the various wines of the winery, it was a gold prize.
Even the Biscotti in Vinsanto was impressive for dessert. I don't like white wine, but it was delicious to have a biscuit in Vinsanto.

Great way to see Tuscan countryside!
Great fun and educational! Met on time at convenient spot in downtown Florence and whisked away by private car to the horse farm. Informative host showed us sights along way and answered our myriad questions!! Mounts were well maintained and great. Ride thru beautiful country with experienced rider/leader. Informative and fun tour of olive farm including how the oil is made. Delicious Tuscan lunch with Chianti overlooking the farm and the Tuscan valley. Well worth it and great way to learn about and see the Tuscan countryside.

Horseback Riding and Olive Oil Tasting
Me and my family had a amazing time horseback riding in the beautiful hills of Tuscany and was one of favorite things to do on our trip to Italy. Simona and all of the hosts were very nice and accommodating throughout the day. Highly recommended if you are looking to do something outside the city of Florence.

Brilliant trip for the new year!
An excellent personalised tour from Simona which also included wine tasting.
Everything went to plan and exceeded expectations. The riding was wonderful for both a novice and experienced rider. The horses seemed well looked after and matched the rider’s experience well.
The wine and lunch tour was excellent and we were well looked after.
Our personal driver Marco was on time and very friendly, even taking pictures of our ride.
All in all a well organised and enjoyable day out.

My sister and I enjoyed a lovely day on the Tuscan countryside with Simona facilitating a wonderful and personal experience. Stefano guided us on our ride. It was very fun, beautiful, and safe at all times. Our olive oil tour, tasting, and lunch with a glass of local Chianti, completed the experience. Perfecto! It was wonderful to step away from the crowds and experience the beauty that surrounds Florence.
