Here’s an overview of your tour

Rising above the Tuscan's valley, the empowering towers of San Gimignano welcome its visitors through its hilly road and surrounding walls. Step outside of Florence and explore the beauty of the Tuscan area with a private day trip to the medieval town of San Gimignano.

Join me on a day out of Florence and be ready to discover one of the best examples of a perfectly preserved medieval town, so precious that it was even declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990.

The day starts with a panoramic drive to get to San Gimignano, the towered town also known as the medieval Manhattan for its spectacular skyline. On the way to San Gimignano, I will introduce you to the glorious past of one of the most attractive Tuscan medieval cities, telling you all about its history, local typical products, and everyday life. Once in town, you will explore the town's center pleasantly walking through the alleys and the small lanes of the different town districts for a unique experience that you will never forget. A local lunch can be arranged too, just let me know what you would like!

Before taking the scenic route back to Florence, take a detour through the Tuscan countryside where you can either stop at a smaller medieval hamlet or at a local farm to get to know more about wine and olive oil. What would you like to see? I can create your own itinerary!

Spend a special day trip outside of Florence and experience the beauty of San Gimignano with a true local! The stories will be interesting and entertaining and the good times will be endless!
