San Gimignano Limo TourSan Gimignano is one of the classic limo tour destinations of Tuscany. Close to Florence and yet totally different, San Gimignano is a hilltop town which overlooks the rolling hills around it.
San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the best preserved examples of 12-13th Century urban architecture.
Often described as a "Medieval version of Manhattan", San Gimignano was a city in which the most powerful families owned the tallest towers overlooking the Tuscan landscape.
San Gimignano is mentioned as one of the towns lined along the Via Francigena, a route connecting France to Rome, traveled by Christian monks during their pilgrimage to Rome in the Middle Ages and owes part of its fortune to its proximity to this strategic route.
Being relatively small - it takes about 15 minutes to walk across the town down the main street Via San Giovanni /Via San Matteo - San Gimignano can be visited on its own as a half day tour or it can be seen in conjunction with Siena for a great full day tour or also as part of a full-day winetasting outing.
