Private Tour of San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and Siena from Florence

Make your first stop in San Gimignano, a hilltop town with winding streets and historic buildings. Check out the city's impressive towers, which give way to postcard-perfect views of the Tuscan countryside. Stop for a wine tasting and a tasting of typical products in the famous cellars that surround it.

It is a medieval jewel nestled in the hills of Val d'Elsa, famous for its imposing defensive walls that surround the village. This architectural wonder was celebrated even by Dante Alighieri in the Divine Comedy.

We continue to Siena, the most important economic and cultural center of the Italian Middle Ages. The historic center has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Some highlights are: The Basilica of San Domenico, a large Gothic church which preserves the head of Saint Catherine. The Cathedral of Siena, the Cathedral of the Assumption, a jewel of Gothic architecture and a treasure chest that contains the famous works of Michelangelo, Donatello and Bernini. Piazza del Campo, the beating heart of Siena culture and an extraordinary architectural setting in which the famous Palio di Siena takes place twice a year.
