San Gimignano
While in Florence we took our only non-self-guided tour during our travels in Italy. The tour was called something like “Tuscany Day Tour” and consisted of visits, by car, to San Gimignano and Siena. Along the way we stopped at an old winery for an incredible lunch and wine tasting.
San Gimignano is pictured above. San Gimignano is surrounded by walls. It’s a medieval hill town which doesn’t seem to have changed much in hundreds of years.
We had a super tour guide. His name was Michaelangelo, and he got very excited as he told us of San Gimignano’s history.
The views from San Gimignano were amazing in every direction. Since San Gimignano sits on a hilltop, there are classic Tuscan panoramas where ever you look.
