Siena and San Gimignano Private Tour

I will start giving you a historical presentation from the foundation of Siena as a Roman colony, up to its growth in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as one of the most important cities in Europe. We will visit together the religious and political centers of Siena, the most important museums of the city, where I will tell you about artists who led the evolution of the Western art. We'll also visit San Gimignano: a small fortified medieval hill town, known as the City of Fine Towers, is famous for its medieval architecture and with its surrounding walls forms "an unforgettable skyline". I am not going to give you a lecture - unless you want to - I will be informative but I won't overdo with too many dates and names, I will make your visit fun with anecdotes and legends, you will have time to enjoy lunch in a typical restaurant, a coffee or an ice cream: I know you are here on holiday and your holiday is meant to be enjoyable and fun!
