Guidekin's take

An hour in the saddle through Chianti vineyards and olive groves with no riding experience needed, then a guided visit to San Gimignano and a light lunch with wine pairing at the winery, all by minivan from Florence.

Helmet and insurance are included, hotel pickup is not, and children ride only from age six. 4.89 from 481 reviews at €190 per person.

In our comparison: #13 of 39 in Day Trips, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
