De basiliek van San Domenico, gebouwd tussen 1226 en 1265 en uitgebreid in de veertiende eeuw, heeft door de eeuwen heen talloze wisselvalligheden ondergaan, zoals branden, militaire bezettingen, aardbevingen, interventies en aanpassingen, die ertoe hebben geleid dat het onmiskenbare gotische uiterlijk werd gedefinieerd als cisterciënzer en gekenmerkt door een originele relatie tussen exterieur en interieur.

We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The driver and tour guide were friendly and professional. Our guide, Monica, was very knowledgeable and she answered all of our questions. The trip was scenic and whenever we came across a landmark (that was on our way to a destination), Monica took the time to tell us all about it. We made a stop when we left and we came back (for bathroom and snacks), which we needed and appreciated. At our two stops prior to the winery, we were able to walk around on our own, which allowed us to shop. The winery was soooo much fun! It is beautiful. We tasted about 9 wines and we ate delicious food. The staff was super friendly. We have done the San Gimignano and Siena tour before but this time around, we saw different parts and heard new information. It was WONDERFUL! We would do it again and again and we will recommend this tour to our families and friends.
Thank you so much for sharing such a detailed and thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the entire experience, from the comfortable hotel pick-up and scenic journey to the time spent exploring Siena and San Gimignano at your own pace. Monica will be very happy to know that her knowledge, professionalism, and attention throughout the day made such a positive impression, and we’re equally pleased that your driver helped make the journey smooth and comfortable. It’s wonderful to hear that the winery was such a highlight, with its beautiful setting, delicious food, generous wine tasting, and welcoming staff. We especially appreciate hearing that, even though you had visited Siena and San Gimignano before, this tour still offered you new places to discover and new stories to enjoy. Thank you sincerely for your recommendation and for choosing to travel with us again. We would be truly happy to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Italy.
This day trip was excellent! Monica was a very informative, patient, and knowledgeable guide. Natalia was an awesome driver. We loved Siena! The town was beautiful. Be advised there were many steep hills that we struggled to walk up and down during the walking tour. San Gimignano was less impressive and still had steep hills to walk. Even with this, Monica helped us and was always willing to assist us on the walking tours. The final stop was the wine tasting. The food was delicious. Be advised, they are trying to sell their wine and the sommelier did a lot of talking to try and convince us.
Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the day and especially appreciated Monica’s knowledge, patience, and care, as well as Natalia’s excellent driving. Siena and San Gimignano are both beautiful historic towns, although their medieval streets and steep hills can certainly make the walking portions more challenging, and we’re very pleased to know that Monica was always attentive and ready to assist you along the way. We’re also glad you enjoyed the food during the wine tasting. As the tasting takes place at a working winery, the sommelier also presents the estate’s wines and products, but of course there is never any obligation to purchase. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing to spend the day with us. We truly hope to welcome you again on another experience in Italy.
We had the best time as a couple who enjoy wine and also wanted to see Sienna and San Gimignano. Pro top at San Gimignano go the very top of the castle and look at the views of the countryside. Our guide was great taking us around and then letting us explore each city. Once we were done, we headed to a beautiful winery where we had a three course meal filled with laughter, wonderful homemade dishes and of course 8-10 different wines. Our guides picked us up, dropped us off and stopped for coffee and breakfast in the morning. It is not a guided tour through the towns but you walk and explore on your own and then get o enjoy the best lunch and food. The lasagna with the truffle oil was the best and then they had the most delicious braised beef and potatoes served with the top of the line wine. Just got do it. It’s so worth it

It is especially rewarding to know that the balance between free time to explore at your own pace and the unforgettable winery experience created such a memorable day for you.
