Paardrijden, olijfolie en lokale gerechten proeven op een Toscaanse boerderij
Beschrijving
Er is geen eerdere rijervaring vereist. De gasten ervaren de beroemde Toscaanse heuvels op een unieke manier: te paard. De rit wordt aangepast aan ieders rijervaring. Een professionele ruitergids zal je eerst kennis laten maken met de basisprincipes van de rit te paard en je koppelen aan onze zeer getrainde paarden voorafgaand aan de rit van 1 uur die zal worden gehouden door spectaculaire olijfbomen en wijngaarden waar zelfs de beginnende ruiters van zullen genieten. Na terugkeer in de stallen worden de gasten naar een plaatselijke middeleeuwse plek gereden historisch landgoed of boerderij, gespecialiseerd in de productie van olijfolie. De verhuurder zal hen begeleiden bij de ontdekking van de historische expertise van de familie op het gebied van de olijventeelt en hun superieure kwaliteit extra vierge olijfolie. De olijfolie wordt gecombineerd met een proeverij van lokale kazen, Toscaanse ham en bruschetta's. Chiantiwijn wordt ook geserveerd in een van de historische kamers van de boerderij of op het schilderachtige terras. Vegetariërs zijn ook welkom.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Een aangename transfer vanuit het centrum van Florence brengt u naar onze manege op ongeveer 30 minuten op de heuvels van Chianti. Tijdens de rit krijg je wat informatie over het gebied en wat uitleg over wat je tijdens de hele ervaring gaat doen. Op de manege wordt u gekoppeld aan het beste paard voor u. Na een paar minuten voor voorbereiding en basisrij-instructies in de open of de idoor-arena zullen uw viervoetige metgezel en een deskundige leraar u begeleiden op een aangename rit te paard over het typisch Toscaanse platteland, bezaaid met verzorgde wijngaarden en rustige olijfboomgaarden, ver van de drukte van de stad, waar je foto's van jezelf en om je heen kunt maken.
Vervolgens brengt uw chauffeur-gids u naar een van de meest gevierde olijfolieplantages van Toscane. Gelegen in de bovenste Arno-vallei langs de oude Romeinse route tussen Florence en Arezzo, is dit imposante landhuis van middeleeuwse oorsprong omgeven door olijfbomen die al eeuwenlang met zorg worden onderhouden. Aan het einde van het bezoek aan het landhuis en zijn historische olijfoliekelders, biedt een typisch Toscaanse maaltijd met bruschetta's, kazen en hartige verschillende lokale vleeswaren de perfecte gelegenheid om de koudgeperste, biologisch gecertificeerde extra vierge olie te proeven en de intens parfum, fruitige en nogal peperige smaak door het te proeven met het lokale brood, allemaal gewassen door de rode Chianti-wijn van het landgoed. De olijfolie, de rode wijn en biologische honing zijn desgewenst te koop. Je chauffeur haalt je om ongeveer 14.30 uur op bij het landhuis om je terug naar Florence te brengen.

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!
Dear Yoko, Your review is very precious to us and we thank you very much for your appeciation of the whole tour. Your enthusiasm will hopefully bring some more Japanese guests to us and we'll gladly welcome them too with open arms. See you again, Simona
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).
Very great experience! Simona was very professional and serviceminded. Quiet safe horses. Lovely landscape.
Dear Åkon, thank you for your 5stars, you were the perfect guests! I wish you come back for a new experience with us on the Florence rolling hills. Kind rgds, Simona
Between the thoughtfulness of the guides, the beauty of the scenery and the kindness of the horses, we could not have dreamed better. Grazie thousand!

One of the highlights of our trip. Beautiful scenic and worthwhile trail ride and tjen on to an excellent amd informative tour with thomas at the olive oil estate in the countryside. We bought olive oil after the tasting and also enjoyed a delicious lunch on the porch overlooking the orchard.

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.
Dear guests, thank you for well describing the country experience you had with us! Come again! Kind rgds, Simona
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.
Hi Joseph and family. We are happy that you had a good time! We'll gladly welcome you again for more riding on horseback and more Tuscan experiences. Simona
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.
Dear Morley, your expression "brilliant" actually exceeds our expectations from your review ! Thank you by our hearts, you'll be most welcome again in future for more horse riding and wine tastings. Simona
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.
Dear Ladies, we are glad you could enjoy a relaxing country experience with us beside the traditional activities to do in the city. You'll be welcome again in future for more discoveries in Tuscany.
Fabulous way to spend half of the day, Simona and her team are wonderful hosts. Enjoyable for riders of any level. The olive tasting and lunch was a great way to end the visit. Additionally Simona provided many recommendations and advice for your other travels around Italy. All in all a great way to get out and see the country side!
Dear guests, we thank you first of all for your words of appreciation of the whole of our tour. Our Tuscan olive oil tour competes with the more wanted wine tour and we are very glad that you liked it! Come back for more riding on horseback and discoveries of local products and places, we'll be there for you ! Simona
