Great experience
Gezelle_A, October 2026
I went on this tour with my husband and we had such a wonderful day! The horses were sweet, the food was delicious, and wine was good. Our guide Lorenzo was fun and made the day great, he took nice photos of us and made sure we enjoyed our time. He clearly loves what he does.
Response from the operator · Chianti W Thank you! You’ve captured Lorenzo’s spirit perfectly, he loves sharing Tuscany with our guests. We’re delighted you both enjoyed the horses, food and wine, and have lovely photos to remember the day!

Terrible Horseback Riding
Kimberly_R, October 2026
First our driver and tour guide was great, very personable and knowledgeable so I feel bad leaving a bad review but…
They crammed two different experiences into the same car and we spent about 30min in the morning and 45min in the afternoon waiting. But more importantly the person who was in charge of the horseback riding was terrible. Did not give even one instruction and yelled at my daughter through out the experience in Italian for not riding correctly. He was rude and she was on a slower horse so he gave her a whip to make him move faster. That was cruel and not happening. We went on this tour for the horseback riding and it was terrible! This is our 3rd Viator trip in Florence, the most expensive and by far the worst!!!

Loved it
cynthian, September 2026
It was 100% one of our favorites!! I am so sorry I forgot his name, but our driver sang to us on the way to Tuscany. The horseback riding through the trails were absolutely beautiful. And afterwards we were able to taste us four different wines with some bruschetta and ravioli! Everyone was absolutely amazing and I would go back two seconds! Thanks for making our vacation so amazing.
Response from the operator · Chianti W Thank you for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled that the singing, horseback ride, beautiful Tuscan scenery, wine and food made the day so memorable. It was our pleasure to be part of your vacation, and we’d welcome you back in two seconds too! 😊
