Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: San Gimignano 1300, Via la Costarella n. 3, 53037, San Gimignano Italy
You will meet the English speaking driver at your accommodation, then you board in a Mercedes air-conditioned minivan. You will start traveling North crossing the region of Lazio, Umbria and eventually you enter in Tuscany. The entire trip takes about 2 hours 40 minutes to reach your first destination: San Gimignano. This enchanting place is a small walled village about halfway between Florence and Siena and is famous for its fascinating medieval architecture and towers that rise above of all the other buildings offering an impressive view of the city from the surrounding valley. This is the reason the city is called the Manhattan of the Middle Age.
At the height of its glory, San Gimignano's patrician families had built around 72 tower-houses as symbols of their wealth and power. Although only 14 have survived, San Gimignano still retains its feudal atmosphere and appearance.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1990, San Gimignano offers visitors the chance to step back in time while enjoying its local products including saffron and its white wine, the Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
Duration: 3 hours
