Excursions in San Gimignano

Ah, San Gimignano! Just the name of this charming Tuscan hill town conjures up images of medieval towers piercing the sky, rolling vineyards, and cobblestone streets that seem to whisper tales of centuries past. If you're itching to explore this UNESCO World Heritage site, look no further than Foxiepass. We're not just another tour company; we're your key to unlocking the secrets of San Gimignano's most captivating spots.

The Magnificent Manhattan of the Middle Ages

First things first: those towers. Boy, oh boy, are they a sight to behold! San Gimignano's skyline is so distinctive that it's earned the nickname "Manhattan of the Middle Ages." Our guided tours will take you up close and personal with these architectural marvels. We'll share the juicy gossip about the wealthy families who built them as status symbols (think medieval billionaires showing off their fancy skyscrapers). And if you're up for a bit of a workout, we'll even climb the Torre Grossa. Trust me, the view from the top is worth every step!

Piazza della Cisterna: Where History Meets Gelato

Next stop: Piazza della Cisterna. This triangular square is the beating heart of San Gimignano, and it's got more character than a Tuscan nonna's recipe book. Our tour guides will regale you with tales of medieval markets and public executions (yikes!) that once took place here. But don't worry, these days the most dangerous thing in the piazza is the temptation of the world-famous gelato shop, Gelateria Dondoli. Seriously, their saffron flavor will knock your socks off!

Collegiate Church: A Feast for the Eyes

Now, I hope you're ready for some jaw-dropping art, because the Collegiate Church is about to blow your mind. This Romanesque church is like stepping into a medieval art history book, but way more fun. Our expert guides will walk you through the stunning frescoes, pointing out all the quirky details you might miss on your own. Did you spot the devil pulling out someone's soul with a hook? Yep, medieval artists had quite the imagination!

Rocca di Montestaffoli: Views for Days

If you're anything like me and can't resist a good panoramic view, you're going to love our stop at Rocca di Montestaffoli. This old fortress is now a lovely public park, and let me tell you, the views of the Tuscan countryside from up here are absolutely swoon-worthy. It's the perfect spot for a breather (and some Instagram-worthy shots, if that's your thing).

San Gimignano 1300: Time Travel, Anyone?

Ever wondered what San Gimignano looked like 700 years ago? Well, wonder no more! Our tours include a visit to San Gimignano 1300, a museum that features a mind-blowingly detailed ceramic model of the town as it appeared in medieval times. It's like stepping into a time machine, minus the risk of getting stuck in the past!
