Beautiful!

If you love the medieval vibes and history, you’ll love this city! San Gimgiano was SO cool. It felt like I was transported back to that era. Out of all the gelato my family and I tried in Cinque Terre, Rome, Florence— San Gimgiano had the best gelato (Dondoli- like the tour guide mentioned). Also, the best thin crust, crispy pizza (supperr small to-go place; can’t remember the name. They had rock music playing and the guy looked hardcore lol). Tour guide was great, very helpful, friendly, gave good tips. Not too much detail/background on the cities, but did provide some. The vineyard picnic was beautiful. So relaxing and beautiful. Food/wine was okay, but the views were great.

San Gimignano and a picnic, great idea

This excursion met our expectations perfectly. Small group, free time to visit SanGimognano, super picnic in a small vineyard presenting their wine and beautiful plates simple and excellent. Sitting outside next to the vineyards and surrounded by a beautiful landscape.
