Awesome experience!
Our riding experience in Tuscany was absolutely unforgettable! Simona and Marco were amazing hosts—so friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. We were placed with a great group of riders. The trails that we went on were stunning, with views and scenery that were truly out of this world. Riding through the Tuscan countryside felt like a dream. Our horses were sweet, well-trained, and handled the trails beautifully, making the entire experience feel safe, relaxed, and enjoyable. One of the highlights was visiting the most lovely winery along the way, where we were warmly welcomed by Sarah, another fantastic host. It was the perfect combination of nature, culture, and hospitality. This was truly a special adventure—one we’ll remember forever. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful way to experience Tuscany!
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly and sister, we are so glad that you chose our unique tour all on horseback, forth and back to/from the winery. We'll be open to customize a new different experience on our rolling hills next time you are in Florence. very kind rgds, Simona

Horseback riding and wine tasting, what could be better?
This experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Florence. I was picked up in Florence by Simona, who told me about the local history and vineyard that I would be visiting. The horseback ride through olive groves and vineyards was so scenic and serene. My horse was a delight to ride, calm, responsive, and sure footed. The cellar tour, wine and olive oil tasting, and lunch was interesting and delicious. The tour concluded with a horseback ride back to the stable and return to Florence city center. I received many beautiful pictures of me taken by the guide throughout the ride. Treasured memories for sure! It was nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. I would highly recommend this tour for others.
Response from the operator: Dear Colette, a so detailed and beautiful review it makes us so proud ! Thank you very much. We'll wait for you again for a new horse riding and tasting experience and we'll try to beat your first time with us ! Ciao, by Simona, our team and Varen (the horse you rode)

Best day ever!
This was our best excursion! Excellent customer service. Our guide and the horses were amazing! We highly recommend this tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you! We'll welcome you very gladly again for more best days ever ! Rgds, Simona

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.
How much does Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food cost?
+
Prices start at $690 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 Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food?
+
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 Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 14. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 7-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food?
+
Around 3 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 3hour Horse Ride to a Castle, Wine Tasting and local food 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.
