San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage site, rises on top of a hill 334m above sea level, easy to spot from a distance with its many towers. Today 13 towers remain of the 72 towers that, in the 14th century, every affluent family would build to show off its wealth and power. During this tour, a guide will lead you to a world where time stands still – walk along the ancient Via Francigena inside the city walls, navigate narrow streets leading to large squares flanked by majestic churches and palaces. You will also make a stop at a famous gelateria for a much-deserved ice-cream tasting and a wine shop to taste the famous white wine Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
