This is truly a very private tour in Florence. At first we will visit a small medieval town San Gimignano.  It is worth noting that it is a popular tourist attraction in Tuscany, famous for its medieval architecture. The towers represent great interest for all the foreigners, as far as they could be seen from a couple of kilometers outside San Gimignano. This lovely hilly place is also known for its incredibly tasty white wines.

The town is a real godsend for the history devotees. There are numerous interesting places to explore. It first San Gimignano appeared as a small village in the 3rd century BC, but we can learn more information about it from the 10th century. It used to be a place to stay for the pilgrims on their way to Rome or Vatican. There are numerous places of historical significance in Italy, but only San Gimignano has managed to preserve fourteen towers, which eventually have become its symbol. After exploring some of the fines attractions in San Gimignano we will proceed to Siena. It is situated not far from our previous place of interest, so it won’t take us long time to get there.

As a professional private guide in Florence I would definitely advice you visiting Siena. This place has been labeled as the World Heritage Site by UNESCO.  As the matter of fact it is one of the most visited cities in Italy. Siena is famous world wide for its museums, cuisine, art, medieval cityscape and of course the Palio, a horse race.
