Best Tour Ever 🫶 - While we went for the horseback riding, we stayed for the connections made along the way whether it was with the tour guides (Daniel and Josef) or the other travelers. Of course the views and food were amazing but truly it was the small moments that made the experience so much more fulfilling and fun (especially the carpool karaoke). Highly recommend this tour to everyone and would love to book another one in the future :))

Great Time - Instructor was super fun. Everything went smoothly and I had a great time. In fact, in the end when we got stuck in traffic, we cheered.

Great way to see the countryside and so much more.. - Amazing experience in the tuscan country side. The horseback riding was such a great way to see the countryside and all of the horses were sweet and easy to ride. Our tour guide, Christian, was excellent. He was informative, kind and humorous. He gave us great information on the region and culture of Italians which was interesting. He was also fantastic with the kids on the tour which kept them happy and entertained. The winery was great and the food was delicious. A favorite tour for sure!

Great experience! Definitely recommend! - We had a great time! Our guide, Mehdi did an amazing job. His knowledge of the history of the area, the local scene, and rapport with the horse farm owners and vineyard made for a pleasant day. His main priority was to make sure our group had a wonderful day and he did just that. Anything that we needed he made sure we were taken care of. Great guy!

Perfect day for a perfect tour - Fantastic tour!!! We loved visiting San Gimignano! The tour guide was fantastic! Absolutely loved the horseback riding through the beautiful scenic hills and vineyards with amazing view of San Gimignano towers. The lunch and wine at the farm was delicious and perfect. Our two kids (12 and 14 year old) enjoyed it very much. We highly recommend this tour. The tour company was accommodating in changing dates to due to rain which is not easy to do because weather is unpredictable. Thank you for a wonderful tour!

Nice outing - The horseback ride which was about an hour was the best part. I would not wear shorts because the saddle will rub against your legs. We spent about an hour in San Gimignano. It is a neat town with little shops. I didn’t really care for the lunch. The first course was cheese and meat. The second course was bean soup with bread in it. The last course was lasagna. They accommodated the vegetarians with different dishes. There were 6 wines we sampled in addition to truffle olive oil. They also have an order form at the table if you want to buy some and ship to your home. The products are pretty expensive.

Lunch was the best part. - The drive is about 30 minutes out. The driver could have shared my local information, that would have been interesting. The horse back location was very pretty. I did not go horseback riding. I did get on the horse but felt uneasy and not safe to continue. My husband did go, he enjoyed it. However more instruction on the actual riding of a horse should be given. I have ridin before, my saddle was an English saddle and that was new to me. I did not like the feeling, I did not feel safe. The local people of the ranch are very kind and sweet. The lunch and wine tasteing was the best part. The tour of the town was ok. However I was put off on how the tourguide said here is gelato (but you buy your own). Well, maybe I didn't want it, honestly I thought it was included. Agian, the wine and lunch was the best part. I would have made a different choice on this tour. Good luck to you and make sure you hang on to that horse. :)
