Ride gentle horses through the Tuscan countryside, visit medieval San Gimignano, and share a farm lunch with local wines. Guides such as Stefano, Daniel, Christian, and Tom have been praised for warmth, history, music, photos, and flexible touches. The day begins and ends in Florence.

“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)”

“The people were very kind and it was a beautiful farm. However, the horses were very poorly trained. Our family has been on many trail rides, and this is the first time we’ve been bitten, attempted to be thrown off multiple times, and seen our guide literally get thrown off his horse. The only people who checked on us after this experience was the guide and one of the men who worked in the stable.
