Best tour ever!! By far this was the best tour of our trip. I would highly recommend, Daniele was the best tour guide we have had the pleasure of meeting. The scenery was breathtaking.. the horse riding was perfect and the lunch was great too..
The guide who led us didn’t say much the whole time we rode. It was a nice, but too slow of a ride. And that’s saying a lot since I’m not that comfortable on horses. There really was no interaction with the guide. The driver, on the other hand, was quite chatty and it was a nice ride to the place and from to the meeting point.
The perfect day! Our host Bijo was funny and so accommodating. The horses were lovely and calm. The lunch was DELICIOUS! Highly recommend!
Great experience…..horseback riding was great, scenery was gorgeous, and the wine tasting was fabulous
This was my family’s favorite experience of our whole Italian vacation! Kids 9 and 12. Loved the horses and the farm so much, they made us feel like part of their family! Our driver and guide, Bijon, was knowledgeable and a great guide. This was a beautiful day trip from Florence and it was great breaking away from the intense touristy sights in the city. Would recommend for anyone!
If you want the best experience of your life, do this!! Daniel was the best Tour guide ever. We had such a blast with him, the sights, the horseback ride itself, the phenomenal food and wine (come hungry), plus the music and singing that just was wonderfully planned by him. Thank you for such a wonderful day!! This should be 10 stars, 5 just not enough.
You don’t have to be a horse rider to do this as it’s a gentle trail ride through the vineyards. Great alternative to other activities. The lunch at the winery and wine tasting was excellent plenty of very good quality food and wine.
Great company to deal with! Very professional and nothing is too much trouble for them. I was travelling solo and was made to feel very comfortable and welcome by Sam (co owner of Fun in Tuscany). Chris (our co host and driver) is a knowledgeable guy, telling interesting facts and stories throughout the day. Top notch day out on a beautiful horse in equally beautiful Tuscan countryside, great lunch with local wines, if I could give 6 stars, I would!
The horseback riding tour through the Chianti hills was incredible. The scenery was beautiful, the guides were friendly, and the horses were easy to ride. After the ride, we enjoyed a delicious lunch and an excellent wine tasting in Fattoria Poggio Alloro. A perfect experience from start to finish—highly recommended!
OUTSTANDING! This is a must book experience! If you get Stefano as your tour guide, you can ensure his charm and hospitality will make your trip nothing but fun! We left with fantastic memories. Horseback riding was something out of a book. Take my advice book the tour! San Gimignano was fantastic my favorite spot in all of Italy thus far. Gelato and the pizza there was the best you can find!
Great way to visit an authentic medieval town without the stress of driving yourself on unfamiliar roads. The vineyard and wine tasting was top notch. Small family run company….. personal touch, intimate and great views.
What an experience! Lorenzo was so kind and thoughtful, we don’t often do organised trips and this was perfect. Thank you for a really special day to remember. Linzi & Carl
Was an excellent dual vineyard horse back riding and local wine tasting excursion in Tuscany! The guide was great even expanding/ modifying the trip slightly when we had extra time! The views, wine, and food couldn’t be beat!
This was a fantastic tour. Giacomo was the best tour guide. He gave us great historical information, answered all of my son’s foodie questions, and helped me understand the meanings of various Italian words. We went on this tour because my daughter loves horseback riding and we got so much more!
Overall, I would say this excursion was the best of several we took on our vacation. The horseback riding was fun and our driver was so personable, informative, and genuine. He made you feel you were like part of his family. The lunch and wine tasting was out of this world. Never had anything like it. I would highly recommend this excursion. It was well worth the money.
This trip was the perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and cultural enrichment. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to discover the essence of Tuscany in a truly enjoyable way. A heartfelt thank you to Lorenzo for making our day unforgettable!
Lovely day. Breathtaking scenery. Tomas, our guide, was fantastic. Lunch was delicious & in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!!
Very nice tour . Small group as described . The meeting place was in front of a cafe . Easy to find . Our tour guide Lorenzo was very nice . Others in the group were fun . It was really a perfect day . San Gimignano is such a beautiful place with beautiful Tuscan views . The wine tasting was fun and a beautiful winery with a really good lunch . So much food!
10/10 experience! Customizable based on what you want to do, the sights are breathe taking, perfect amount of time to explore, and the service and hospitality is by far the best part. Christian was absolutely wonderful. Nice, caring, very knowledgeable and just cared about your comfort and care. Definitely make sure you take the whole day off for this experience because you will want to soak up every moment of it (and not have to push your trains back bc you planned a travel day on the same day)
It was a really great experience the tour guide showed us all around. We got to go horseback riding, went to a beautiful winery and town, and they even drove us the whole way it was awesome.
Fun in Tuscany's guide named Tom was exceptional! He made our experience very memorable! He took great photos for us!
This was an unforgettable experience! During this excursion, we had the opportunity to explore the Tuscan countryside on horseback. We wandered through the iconic town of San Gimignano. To top it all off, we enjoyed a farm-to-table meal in a stunning vineyard, while tasting local wines. Our tour guides, Cecilia and Tomaso, were incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and engaging, making the journey even more special. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Tuscany!
Max was fabulous from start to finish. The horseback ride was a check off my best friends and my bucket list. San Gimignano was magical and the views were breathtaking. Lunch at the winery was the topping of a perfect day.
I was quite disappointed in the horseback riding. Our views did not look anything like the pictures, we rode through a valley with no vineyards or water. As someone who rides horses, this was what I was looking forward to most on this day trip and it was unfortunately not what I expected based on the other travelers’ review photos. The winery was very beautiful, picturesque views but we didn’t really learn anything about the wines. We also didn’t experience a honey tasting, olive oil and truffle tasting, or visit the Michelangelo like the itinerary described.
Our guide was amazing! The wine tasting and lunch were fabulous. The horses and guides were great and the horses very sweet. The stop overlooking Florence at the end of the trip was a nice surprise
Highlight of our trip! Sam was super knowledgeable and personable! The views and wine were incredible. Would highly recommend!
I already wrote a review- not sure where it went. But I basically stated how our tour guide made things super fun by playing all kinds of music while putting on a disco ball and blaring Mariah Carey, lol. But he was also very knowledgeable about all of the places we went and took time to answer questions and offer suggestions. It was a really beautiful experience and the horse riding was really great. They are well behaved and the trainer who rides with the group has a great relationship with the horses and they listen well.
The tour was really great. The guides were all very nice people who were encouraging and experienced. The horses were so sweet and well trained, which would put beginners at ease. The man who took us on the horse trail clearly has a beautiful relationship with the horses. My horse kept wanting to be next to him so he could get his attention and love- it was very sweet. The old town of San Gimignano was a unique experience. The short time we had there was actually the perfect amount of time to see it, have the (literal) best gelato in the world (I’ll think about it the rest of my life; and I’ve had it all over the country), and the truly breathtaking view. If you are an art lover and want to bring home some beautiful watercolors from a local artist (his artwork is stunning and captures the unique scenery of the countryside of Tuscany), I highly recommend popping into his small shop (where he was actively painting) right behind the viewpoint I’m talking about. You literally take in the amazing view and turn around 180 degrees and you will see his place. I bought originals for $50! This is some of the best art and lowest priced art I’ve seen anywhere. He also sells prints for 6 euros. His name is Giangiorgio Mosso. They also have some great jewelry shops where I found some beautiful pieces. It’s a nice town filled with a lot of history. Our guide knew it well and shared some interesting facts about a wealthy family who built towers just to show their power, and he told us about a legend involving the devils claws. Very cool. The lunch and wine pairing was a nice experience, but most importantly, the view while dining was one of a kind. Our group appreciated the view so much that we collectively chose to move our placemats and all face the view instead of one another, haha. The shop at the restaurant sells the very famous balsamic vinegar made by the Giusti family (the best in the world). The ragú we ate had a unique bold flavor (very good) due to the white cows specific to that region (of which are also on the property). Daniele was our tour guide and he was truly fantastic. He was very funny and kind and made the experience that much better. On top of pointing out important and beautiful things, he played fun music and encouraged everyone to have fun. 10/10 would recommend.
We had SO MUCH FUN! Our guide Daniele is the best. Funny, lively, and knowledgeable. The views while horseback riding and at the winery were spectacular, Daniele took many photos of us riding, which was great. We went to San Gimignano and he led us to the world famous gelato. Wow what a breathtaking medieval town! The winery was beautiful with delicious food and of course wine. The ride back to Florence was a blast, you’ll have to experience that, I don’t want to give it all away. This was an experience we will never forget.
The entire day was amazing! Meddie our tour guide was incredible. We had so much fun. It was a beautiful day
Amazing tour! We got picked from the center and then went to a quick stop to see the city views. The guide explained alot about the history. The best part was the horseback riding. We were completely inside nature and disconnected from the city. The horses were very good trained. Afterwards the wine tour had high quality and the food was spectacular wow
My wife and I spent our first year anniversary doing this tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Bookings were fast and simple and they were always in quick contact via email and WhatsApp. We couldn't recommend that our tour guide more highly, Tomazo, who made our day extra special! Great tour and great people all around! Five stars
This tour was one of the highlights of our vacation in Florence. The horses were gentle and easy to ride for those with no experience. Jack, who led us around the vineyard on horses was awesome. San Gimignano was beautiful with many shops and vistas as was the vineyard we visited. The food and wine was delicious and the atmosphere was breathtaking. To top things off, our tour guide Daniel was warm, friendly and fun. He was always checking in with us to make sure we had everything we wanted/needed. The ride back to Florence was especially fun with a great song list and lots of singing. 10 /10. I would do it again!
A delightful day w the horseback riding, then time in The local town, and then a wonderful lunch and wine tasting. Had such a blast
Wonderful! Christian, our guide, was fun, informative and very caring! He expertly drove us to the different locations! The views were breathtaking, wine making process was good and not overly involved and the food was absolutely delicious! Tip: Bring pants, sneakers/boots and long pants for the horse riding. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
This tour was awesome and our tour guide was so kind and knowledgeable! It includes horseback riding, visiting a cool old medieval town (with the worlds best gelato), a wine cellar with amazing history, and ended the day with lots of wine and delicious food which was all included in the price! We were transported to and from the activity so no need to worry about transportation either. Highly recommend even if you are a novice with horseback riding!
Excellent tour, perfect way to spend a day in Tuscany. Absolutely loved the horseback riding, vineyards and wine tasting. Our tour guide was Lorenzo and he was very friendly and informative with any questions we had. He also is very good looking so that helped the day be even more fun. Highly recommend
Fabulous tour guide in Tomas. Friendly,informative,helpful. Horseback ride was beautiful, just a walk which is great for beginners but I didn’t mind it as an experienced horse woman. My favorite tour so far. Wine tasting was extensive and the lunch was plentiful and delicious.
I definitely recommend this full-day Tuscany experience. My husband, adult daughter and I loved the horseback riding through the vineyards and olive fields, our time in San Gimignano (with yummy Gelato) and lunch and great wine at the beautiful winery! It was one of our best outings of our trip to Florence!!
Horseback ride was fantastic - rode Mambo. Cute B&B we rode out of. Stopped at a small town for a bit - enjoyed that. Winery was fantastic. Would highly recommend!
Highly recommend this tour. My wife and I loved this tour! We always wanted to ride horses around the Tuscany countryside, so we visited were breathtakingly beautiful, everything was perfect. Our guide Daniel was so fun and an excellent driver. This is the best way to spend a day in Italy.
The tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Everything about it was perfect! Our group leader, Bejan, was an excellent driver, knowledgeable and fun. The places we visited were breathtaking beautiful, great staff, and overall this tour exceeded our expectations. Thank you!!
This was an amazing day. The best day of our trip— horseback riding through the hills, gelato and views in S. Gimignano, petting baby cows, and finishing with a delicious meal and wine at the organic vineyard. We could not have asked for more. Our driver/guide Daniele was also fantastic. Super fun, entertaining, and patient with our large group. Don’t hesitate to book this one!
What a fantastic day. The ride was very steady but the honey tasting, trip round San Gimangino was absolutely gorgeous and the trip to the winery was breathtakingly beautiful followed with delicious food and wine. The two guys Sam and Medhi that looked after us were so professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
We had the best time on our horseback riding and wine tour! Lorenzo was such a fabulous tour guide who really catered to our group! We booked the tour for the horseback riding and wine tasting and San Gimignano was such a beautiful treat! As first time riders we were given great instruction and really enjoyed the experience. The wine and lunch we had at the winery was fantastic! Great experience and would recommend to any traveler. Thank you Lorenzo! We would choose you for any tour!
A truly great experience with horse riding, wine tasting, delicious food and magificient guidance, locations and stories. If you are in Florence, DO NOT miss this experience. You will not regret a thing.
I had the most incredible day!! One of the best of my life actually. Everything was taken care of and just perfect. The horseback riding was so peaceful and easy. The touring in San Gimignano was beautiful and the lunch was delicious with a breathtaking view. My tour guide was Michele and he was amazing!! Very knowledgeable and kind with a nice calm happy demeanour. Thank you so so much!!
Truly had the most incredible time on our tour. The horses were beautiful and happy. Loved that we rode in the morning so neither the horses or us were too hot. The guide, Christian, was great and let us take our time and was knowledgeable and very fun. Loved getting to see the farm and wine process, the lunch they served was a beautiful, homemade meal with wine pairing. Will certainly look into doing this again next time we are in Florence. Would highly recommend !
Although the weather was not on our side we had an amazing experience. I went to this on my own and it was great. I was in a group with 7 Americans and it was brilliant. Our tour guide Max was great very passionate and knowledgeable, the horses were well looked after and the wine tasting was exquisite!
