Wonderful experience in Tuscany!

Jamie_M, Jun 2025

We had met Tommaso at the meeting point at 9:00 am. He explained our itinerary clearly, drove us to the barn and stables four our horse back ride - we rode through the beautiful scenery and vineyard after an introduction to our horses. Afterwards, we weee driven and given a tour of Vinci, Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace - then off to Villa Petriolo for lunch and wine. Overall, the experience was amazing. We definitely received a lot of ideas and incentive for a future trip to the area. Tommaso is extremely personable and helpful. We’d highly recommend this excursion. Tomasso mentioned that he also runs e-Bike tours, which sound like a lot of fun.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience in such detail! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you, from the horseback ride through the vineyards to discovering Vinci and then relaxing over lunch and wine at Villa Petriolo. I’m very happy to hear that the tour gave you new ideas and inspiration for a future trip to this area – there is still so much more to explore in Tuscany! Your kind words about my guiding and personality truly mean a lot to me. Thank you also for recommending the excursion to others. If you come back to Tuscany, I’ll be very happy to welcome you again – maybe next time for one of my e-bike tours so you can experience the countryside in a different way. Warm regards, Tommaso
