A WONDERFUL tour in Tuscany. Sorry for not commenting sooner, but it is a tour we will always remember!
No importa cuándo, lo importante es que sepas que pasaste un día maravilloso con nosotros. ¡Gracias por tus amables palabras! ¡Esperamos verte pronto!
The whole family enjoyed this tour. The horseback ride through the rolling hills as beautiful and relaxing. We had just enough time to do some exploring and shopping in Sam Gimignano, then our lunch at a winery restaurant with stunning views. Our guide Lorenzo was top notch. Meetup was easy and several other tours were meeting at the same location, so we knew we had the right place. Transport was comfortable. Loved the small group nature of the tour. I was a bit nervous about booking this one, but was so glad that I did.
Loved the whole experience. Amazing and super comfortable. Great host, and I ate and drank so much hahaha! Must do if you’re going to Tuscany!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a lovely experience with us and enjoyed the delicious food and wine. We would love to welcome you back for another adventure, so please come visit us again soon!
Lorenzo was fantastic the horseback riding was not the best. We were the second group to go the course seemed very tired, hot and slow. The person who lead the way only spoke Italian didn’t give us any commands in Italian. We were the 3,4,5 horses and essentially were in silence because we had no idea what he was explaining. Be the end I was very concerned about my horse he was coughing and wheezing. I shared this with stable and they still out about group after us. It was too hot for the animals. Almost felt like abuse,
This was amazing. The horse ride was unique, relaxing and so much fun. The tour guide gave us some background information on the way to the vineyards and about San Gimignino which was very interesting. And then we had a lovely meal with wine to top it all off. Would 100% recommend.

Such an incredible day spent in Tuscany and easily one of the highlights of our Italy trip! A huge thank you to our guide, Lorenzo, who truly made the day unforgettable.

Was a great experience, horses were an easy ride and well trained. The guide was a lot of fun and made the car ride quite enjoyable with his playlist. Finally the restaurant in the hills of Tuscany was amazing, lots of food, lots of local wines, made the whole experience. Would recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 💚 We're delighted you enjoyed the horseback ride, our guide's company, and the delicious Tuscan lunch and wines. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Tuscany soon!
This was probably our favorite excursion of the trip. The tour guide was incredible (Giacomo) and truly went the extra mile to make it memorable. The horses were well trained and the vineyards were beautiful to ride through. The tour of San Gimignano was a great experience and the wine tasting/lunch was excellent. This was worth every penny and we will be booking other tours through them!
This was the perfect experience for our entire family. I (grandpa) stayed back with the two-year-old and had no problem entertaining him for an hour while the other seven of us enjoyed the ride. The tour and free time of the medieval village of San Gimignano was as much fun for the kids as it was for the adults. Of course it helped that there was a world-famous gelato store with an overwhelming number of flavors. The Champagne-grapefruit one was very refreshing on a hot day. We also highly recommend taking a quick right as soon as you pass the wall of the town and walk up the ancient medieval walkway. Lunch and wine-tasting at the organic farm, Fattoria Poggio Allora, was flavorful and delicious featuring vegetables and olive oil from the farm as well as their wines. It is also one of the few places in the region that grows saffron. I loaded up at the wine store before we left. The saffron was less than half the price I pay at home. Our driver, Lorenzo, grew up in the region and was very informative. He answered all our questions with ease and elaborated eloquently. We asked him everything from cycling on the narrow roads to harvesting methods (all by hand) and seasons. The company was very accommodating: willing to arrange for us to be picked up in the village where we were staying (Montespertoli) rather than in Florence. All we had to do is ask. I can’t recommend this highly enough. All of us (even the two-year-old) would do it again in a heartbeat.
