Relax in Paradise!
We had an amazing day out in the Tuscan countryside in the most beautiful place! I coordinated everything with Simona who was so sweet and accommodating with all our questions! If you’re looking for a way to get on horseback, no matter your skill level, and have the most beautiful views while you relax by the pool, don’t hesitate to book! The lunch was also delicious!
Response from the operator: Very dear Kristen and Selene, Thank you for appreciating the day, we are happy that you had the expected getaway from the city crowds. We'll be glad to welcome you back for more experiences on our rolling hills Kind regards, Simona

An unforgettable experience
This tour was the highlight of our trip. Simona and her driver were amazing. Very knowledgeable of the area. The home we went to was beautiful, the views were unbelievable. We had a thorough lesson with Ester who was very patient and knowledgeable. The horses were beautiful and well kept. The homemade family style meal was so good. The owners of the house were very welcoming. The pool was refreshing and clean with an amazing view. We very much recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Dear guests, we thank you for your great review on your day with us. We hope that one day you will spend more days at our home for more horse riding and relaxation on the rolling hills of Florence. Rgds, Simona

Incredible Experience
My husband and I had the most amazing time on our horseback riding and pool day! Simone was an incredible host and she was very knowledgeable on all things Tuscany! We learned a lot, had such a great time, and will absolutely be utilizing Tuscan Country Life for future tours! We absolutely recommend
Response from the operator: Hi Monica, we're so happy that you enjoyed the day and fully relaxed on the hills near Florence for a refreshing escape from the city crowds. Come back from the sky scrapers, we'll get you experience more Tuscan nature! Ciao, Simona

Beautiful, joyful day!
What a beautiful, joyful day we had with Florence Country Life!! I took five teenagers with me to tour through Italy, and this was without a doubt one of their favorite days and experiences! From the first moment I reached out to Simona via WhatsApp and email, she was responsive, accommodating, and flexible. She helped craft for us exactly the experience that worked best for our group and at every turn was as helpful as could be. I feel like I not only got a Tuscan experience, but also built a new friendship. The horses, the pool, the lunch, the people: all wonderful. I cannot possibly recommend this excursion more highly!!
Response from the operator: Dear Ellen, Thank you for your friendly feeling! It's an honor to have met your expectation for you and your group of teens, always more difficult to satisfy. We hope you can all come back again in future, and as agreed you will be most welcome in the meantime for a taylor made new horse riding experience as per your high riding skills.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $330 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 Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 24 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 Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch?
+
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 Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch?
+
Around 2 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback ride and Poolside Day chillout with Tuscan Lunch 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.
