visit two historic towns with a Private Tour of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni
Explore the Enchantment of Two Captivating Medieval Tuscan Villages!
Welcome to an unforgettable journey through the medieval wonders as we explore a private tour of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. San Gimignano, often referred to as the "Manhattan of Tuscany" due to its remarkable 14 towering structures, summons us to step into a world frozen in time.
Our adventure begins with a passage through one of the medieval arch doors that lead into San Gimignano. Along the main road, a symphony of artisan shops awaits on both sides, inviting you to discover their treasures. At the heart of the town, the renowned Piazza della Cisterna invites us to indulge in gelato from the winner of the "Gelato World Championship" for two consecutive years. This square, graced by scenes from the movie Tea with Mussolini, is a testament to the town's cinematic allure.
For those seeking cultural exploration, the opportunity to visit the Duomo and Museum awaits. Ascending to the town's highest point rewards you with breathtaking panoramic views and a secret haven for sipping Vernaccia wine, the celebrated white wine unique to San Gimignano.
Amidst medieval alleys and squares, your shopping ventures continue, and an ascent to the towering Torre Grossa offers a bird's-eye view of the town's enchanting panorama.
Our journey then takes us to Monteriggioni, an 11th-century medieval fortress resembling a crown atop a king's head. As we pass through its main arch door, the village unfolds before us—a compact treasure trove of history and beauty.
Strolling along the imposing walls and 11 elegant towers, we savor magnificent vistas of the surrounding countryside. Monteriggioni, an essential stop on the Via Francigena pilgrimage trail, exudes a timeless ambiance—a place where time stands still and simplicity reigns.
Join us on this remarkable expedition through the ages, as we tour the medieval splendors of San Gimignano and Monteriggioni. Book your tour today and relish the magic of these captivating Tuscan gems.
