Best day ever!

michael_N, Apr 2026
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 cowboy to do this adventure

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.

Outstanding Tour!

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!

See the countryside with a local.

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.

Was an excellent dual...

Julianne_B, Jul 2025
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!

Excellent Day in Tuscany

Jennifer_C, Jul 2025
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!

MUST DO Experience!! Christian TYSM 🤌

Gabriella_M, Apr 2025
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)

Outstanding

Ron_K, Apr 2025
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. Tour guide was Tom who went above and beyond to make our experience memorable! Photos wonderful!

Carol_W, Mar 2025
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!

Patricia_P, Mar 2025
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!

Fantastic

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.

Beautiful winery

Rachel_J, Oct 2024
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.

Amazing

Cindy_M, Oct 2024
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

Very fun, get a lot done in one day, saw a lot

Sarah_H, Sep 2024
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.

Worth it

Courtney_T, Sep 2024
The entire day was amazing! Meddie our tour guide was incredible. We had so much fun. It was a beautiful day

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Courtney, We are so happy that you enjoyed your day of Fun in Tuscany and we thank you for your kind words! We are looking forward to meeting you again soon!

Best outside florence tour

Melissa_C, Aug 2024
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

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Melissa, Thank you for such awesome words and we are glad that you enjoyed the day with us! We are waiting for you for another day of Fun in Tuscany!

Amazing day

Dana_C, Jun 2024
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!

Great way to experience Tuscany!

Abbe_S, Mar 2024
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!!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're delighted to read that you had a very good time with us! I hope we'll have more chances of Fun in Tuscany together :)

Excellent

Aden_Y, Jan 2024
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.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you Aden, your words are music to our ears! We're delighted to know that your day with us has been great! We hope you'll keep long-lasting memories about it and we hope to meet you again in the future!

Amazing, highly recommend

Ashlyn_M, Nov 2022
My sister and I loved this tour! Our guide Michele was so fun and knowledgeable. The food and wine at the vineyard was fantastic. This is the perfect was to spend a day in Tuscany from Florence. Highly recommend!!!

Wine and horses, what more could you need?

Julia_P, Mar 2022
We had such a good time! Our tour guide Daniel was a total blast and the other people on the tour were a lot of fun. My husband and I booked this trip because we thought riding horses around the Tuscan countryside would be an amazing experience for our honeymoon. It turned out even better than we thought. The scenery was breathtaking and the wine was unbelievable. I even got to open a bottle of fragoline with a dagger, which was totally wild! I would definitely recommend this tour if you like wine and horses.
