An unforgettable day in Tuscany 🐎🌿🍷🧀
I joined a horse riding and olive oil tour with my two daughters. The horses were well trained, and even beginners could feel safe and comfortable. Simona was very helpful in organizing everything and arranging the pick-up, which made the whole experience smooth and easy for us. After enjoying the beautiful Tuscan scenery, we visited an olive oil farm, where the guide was very kind. The olive oil tasting was very interesting, and the garden lunch with cheese, ham, and wine was absolutely delicious and wonderful in the fresh air. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Florence. We also really appreciated the pick-up service from the city and the flexibility with timing. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Yoko, Your review is very precious to us and we thank you very much for your appeciation of the whole tour. Your enthusiasm will hopefully bring some more Japanese guests to us and we'll gladly welcome them too with open arms. See you again, Simona

Wonderful fun but a bit overpriced
We enjoyed our Italian adventure today. Started with some history and each stop we would be making along the drive. The horseback riding along the trails was beautiful and we greatly enjoyed it. Our only complaint was that it felt rushed and the man leading us was quite impatient. After our ride, we went to the olive oil estate and had a wonderful tour by one of the workers there. The tasting was lovely but we were under the impression that we would be having a lunch and not just a charcuterie (based on the hefty price of this excursion). After we drove back to our hotel, we were rushed to make payment and were trying to quickly count the amount owed. We were not offered change and had to overpay as we were hurried out of the car.
Response from the operator: You did not book on Viator, nevertheless the duration of the tour and its rate matched exactly the description on Viator= 1h of country trail ride, 1h30 min at the olive oil estate (and you stayed there 1h45) + "olive oil tasting paired with wine and snacks" well described on Viator + all the transfer times. Moreover the tour was private and never proposed as a 1day-tour. Ordinary total time from pick up at 9h30 to 2p.m. Dropping you off at your hotel was not our duty at all but it has been an extra offered gladly and free of charge, because we exceptionally could. All the Viator's or non-Viator's guests are treated exactly the same. The excursion is mainly based on the horse ride and the olive oil tour. You paid the tour exactly what was previously agreed (tarif for a 2people tour online on Viator).

The top quality olive oil completed your experience and we are glad you liked it ! We'll gladly welcome you again one day, Very kind rgds.

Great way to see Tuscan countryside!
Great fun and educational! Met on time at convenient spot in downtown Florence and whisked away by private car to the horse farm. Informative host showed us sights along way and answered our myriad questions!! Mounts were well maintained and great. Ride thru beautiful country with experienced rider/leader. Informative and fun tour of olive farm including how the oil is made. Delicious Tuscan lunch with Chianti overlooking the farm and the Tuscan valley. Well worth it and great way to learn about and see the Tuscan countryside.
Response from the operator: Dear guests, thank you for well describing the country experience you had with us! Come again! Kind rgds, Simona

Horseback Riding and Olive Oil Tasting
Me and my family had a amazing time horseback riding in the beautiful hills of Tuscany and was one of favorite things to do on our trip to Italy. Simona and all of the hosts were very nice and accommodating throughout the day. Highly recommended if you are looking to do something outside the city of Florence.
Response from the operator: Hi Joseph and family. We are happy that you had a good time! We'll gladly welcome you again for more riding on horseback and more Tuscan experiences. Simona

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm cost?
+
Prices start at $298 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.
Is Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horse ride, Olive Oil and local foods tasting in a Tuscan farm start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Florence?
+
On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Florence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Florence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
