HORSEBACK RIDING IN THE HEART OF TUSCANY! by FunInTuscany

They did not have enough horses for the entire group, so we had to wait 2 hours for our turn. They did provide us with wine and peanuts and water in the meantime. The wine tasting and visit to a castle that was advertised as included did not occur which was disappointing. The meal provided was excellent and the horseback experience was excellent as well.We returned 2 hours late. Credit card machine was broke so they asked us to pay cash. Gave a discount for that.

Had a fabulous time on this tour, guide really helpful. Had 2 hrs ride through Tuscany. Lunch was great - the best we had during our weeks stay in Florence. A wonderful day - many thanks

This trip was one of the greatest things I've ever done in my life! I was the only one on the tour, and Vieri and Anna were some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. The horses were beautiful, the ride was spectacular, and the meal was so good. I felt like I had been adopted into their family for the day...I met Vieri's family, the dog, the chickens...it was great.

Our tour guide Dee was personable, helpful, fun, and handsome. He spent the day with us on horseback and at the castle. It was the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this trip.

Sam our tour guide was fun and informative. The owners of the stable were pleasant and friendly. The lunch was delicious, one of the best meals I had while on vacation. The castle was interesting but found the wine tasting lacking. Would do the tour again to try the vespa tour.

Best tour I've had in Florence so far! So much fun, definitely worth the money. The staff was exceptional!

Not much talking during the horse back portion but it´s kind of hard while in single file horse lines and honestly, trying to get pictures of beautiful vistas while staying on your horse requires enough concentration. The drivers/guides were super-friendly and enthusiastic to point out interesting monuments/ruins and share some local history and culture. While the wine tasting is a freebie offered to everyone at a local bodega, the excellent included lunch made this tour worth the money.

I LOVED this tour SOOOOOO much!!! I had a wonderful time, it really made my experience in Florence worth while. I am definitely coming back to visit Florence and take another tour. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!

The tour was nothing like the brochure. It was described as a "2hr horseback ride and Tuscan lunch at a 13th century castle followed by a wine-tasting", and instead we had a short horse tour (maybe 1.5 hours) with a tour guide who didn't talk to us at all, then we got back into the car and drove PAST an old castle to a villa where we had to wait more than 2 hours for lunch! Wine-tasting was just a glass or two with lunch. Overall, really really disappointing.

Our tour guide was awesome and definitely entertained us throughout the entire trip! Not the boring wine tasting we were expecting, definitely much more fun and exciting. One of my favorite trips so far here in Florence :)

My wife and I traveled around Italy for about 2 weeks, and the most fun we had by far was on our horseback riding/ wine tasting tour through the Chianti Hills. Sam and Peter were great guides and not only explained a lot about the different things we were seeing and experiencing, but also took us to some less touristy spots. The area is beautiful, the company was great, and the food was even better! I would highly recommend this tour. I told Sam that they should charge more!

Amazing! Def worth the money.

Our guide was very entertaining. I felt safe traveling back and forth and he had some very interesting fun facts about Florence. It was a nice trip outside of the city for the day.

This horse riding tour in Chianti was one of the high lights of our trip. The horses were great and the countryside was beautiful. But what made it really neat was that Sam turned it into a custom tour for us. When our group found out there was a once-a-year Medieval Festival at the nearby Monteriggioni Castle that night, including a jousting exhibition, he happily extended the tour into the evening so we could go. It was a long day, but lots of fun.

Wonderful excursion... Highly recommended to everyone! The best staff service possible, absolutely wonderful tour! We couldn't have had a better time!

We had a fantastic time on this tour1 Our guide, Sam, was superb and we had alot of fun with him. Next time I come to Florence, I will definitely do this tour again!

A wonderful, wonderful day in Tuscany!!!

Such an amazing tour, it was a great opportunity to see the Tuscan countryside and experience Italian food and drink at its best! Our tour guide was very warm and welcoming, the day couldn't have been more perfect. I definitely recommend this one. Thanks Sam.

The horseback riding tour was like something only seen in a movie! i loved the scenery, and the food, but having the best tour guide in all of Italy didnt hurt either. Sammy was absolutely amazing! He showed us the most rustic and beautiful parts of Tuscany on a one on one basis and we all loved every single minute of it. I highly recomend this to anyone looking for a good and intimate knowlage of the Tuscan countryside

I can honestly say that our favorite part of our honeymoon was definitely our tour with Sam. Horseback riding through Tuscany and site seeing was an unforgettable experience. And the wine tasting was fabulous. We still have not been able to find wine as good as the wine made in Chianti. This is absolutely the best tour I've EVER. Thanks Sam. And to those planning your Italy trip...don't miss out on this one.
