A private tour of medieval San Gimignano from Florence

Explore the ancient 13 towers of the San Gimignano skyline! Relax in a local winery and taste typical Vernaccia wine while enjoying the most charming views over the Tuscan slopes.

Start your trip to Tuscany

Drive through picturesque hills with ancient wineries, vineyards and olive groves. Departing from your accommodation, reach one of the finest hilltop towns tucked away in the heart of Tuscany: San Gimignano, famous for its picturesque ancient towers.

Explore San Gimignano’s towers

San Gimignano’s cultural and natural patrimony has been recognized by UNESCO. Even more impressive is the medieval skyline made up of the 13 remaining towers. They were 72 one for each wealthy family, with remarkable views from above and below them. The town rises on a hill (334m high) dominating Elsa Valley with its towers dating back to the 11th century.

Visit the Duomo and medieval palazzi

Climb a medieval tower and admire amazing panoramas over the valley. Visit the Duomo, the romantic simplicity of the 12th century hides the interior magnificence. Admire ‘Palazzo del Popolo’, ‘Palazzo Nuovo del Podestà’ now the town hall, S. Agostino Church, the Museum of Holy Relics and the infamous Museum of Torture which displays early instruments of torture.

Tuscan bites, vernaccia and gelato

Enter the numerous small artisan boutiques with local products and souvenirs. Taste ‘vernaccia’ wine typical from San Gimignano, one of the most ancient grape varieties in Italy even mentioned by Dante Alighieri in his Divine Comedy!
