San Gimignano Private Tour
At the time of your choice, you'll meet your guide at Porta San Giovanni, one of the main entry points in the walls surrounding San Gimignano. After admiring this 13th-century monument, we'll embark on a private tour through the historic center of the town.
First, we'll head to the Piazza della Cisterna, the central area of San Gimignano and its main commercial axis since ancient times. From this point, you'll view the tower-houses that symbolized the power of the wealthiest families, while your guide shares stories about notable events in the area.
Continuing, we will admire the exterior of the Palazzo Comunale, linked to the famous Florentine poet Dante Alighieri. We will also explore the facade of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta, flanked by Torre Grossa, the highest tower in San Gimignano.
Next, we will walk through the narrow cobblestone streets, passing the Church of Sant'Agostino and various craft shops until we reach Rocca Montestaffoli, a 14th-century fortress. Here, you'll visit the Vernaccia wine museum to learn about this San Gimignano Appellation of Origin.
After 2 hours of sightseeing, we'll conclude the private tour by returning to the starting point.
