Horseback ride through Tuscan countryside, then San Gimignano sightseeing plus Chianti winery lunch and tasting on a small-group day from Florence.
“Giacomo was an amazing guide! The whole experience was incredible for our family of 7. We cannot recommend this enough!”
Ride gentle horses through Chianti vineyards, explore San Gimignano, then enjoy Tuscan lunch and wine tasting from Florence.
“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.”
Private Chianti horseback ride and estate wine tasting with a light lunch, plus scenic transfers back to Florence.
“This trip was so much fun! A lovely break from the city to ride horses and see the best views of the countryside. Simone was the best host & was able to help all of us since we had different skills riding horses. The winery tour with Constance was amazing - she really loves her work & it comes through in everything she talks about - she gave my kids a great wine education, which they loved! Highly recommend this tour!”

Wow, perfect taste of Tuscana, highly recommended by Jana & Klara”

30-min horse-drawn carriage tour of Florence with a live guide, starting at Piazza della Signoria, past Arno, Ponte Vecchio, and Duomo views.
“Although an enjoyable carriage ride, it wasn’t really a guided tour. It was expensive and not worth the money.”
Ride gentle horses through the Chianti hills, then enjoy a full Tuscan lunch with Chianti wine, with round-trip car transfers from Florence.
“I booked this tour for my friend Anna & I during our study abroad trip over the summer. We loved every minute of it! It was so peaceful & everyone was kind & helpful. Ms. Simona contacted me through Whatsapp with the make, model, license plate, & name of our driver, Mr. Marco prior to our pick up time in Florence. He had the A/C blowing (we are Texans so it felt great), & drove us to the site to ride horses. Everyone on the property was kind, they had restrooms & water, we signed waivers, mounted our horses (with help), & were guided on how to ride. Our horses…”
Horse through Tuscany to a medieval wine estate near Florence for a guided castle visit, lunch, and 3 to 4 wine tastings in English.

Ride Chianti hills from Florence, then tour olive presses and taste cold-pressed extra virgin oil with Chianti and Tuscan bites.
“It was such a lovely trip! It was perfect for my mom and I. All our guides were absolutely wonderful and made the ride through the hills a highlight of our trip. It’s a very well put together activity and I hope to book it again when I’m back in Italy. Also the olive oil tour was a nice refreshing way to end the trip!”
Private Chianti hills horseback ride plus pool time and Tuscan lunch, with round-trip Florence transfers and optional wine and olive oil visit.
“This tour was the highlight of our trip. Simona and her driver were amazing. Very knowledgeable of the area. The home we went to was beautiful, the views were unbelievable. We had a thorough lesson with Ester who was very patient and knowledgeable. The horses were beautiful and well kept. The homemade family style meal was so good. The owners of the house were very welcoming. The pool was refreshing and clean with an amazing view. We very much recommend this tour.”
Horse riding in Mugello with a small-group countryside walk from Florence, plus a Tuscan aperitif of local cheeses and wine.
“Highlight of our Italy trip. Beautiful way to see the countryside in Tuscany: rolling hills, sunflower fields, quaint stone farms, and a lake. We even rode through the village to a bar and had a drink and delicious meats, cheeses, bread and sun dried tomatoes. Really appreciated that they accommodated our request to move the ride earlier due to the extreme heat.”
