Day trip from La Spezia pier: San Gimignano and wine tasting – private tour

Enjoy your day-trip from La Spezia Pier: meet your English speaking driver alongside your cruise ship and be driven to San Gimignano. A stroll through the core of San Gimignano, in the shadows of its surviving towers, is a delight. As the town was about a day’s trek to Siena or Florence in the Middle Ages, it was a good stopover for pilgrims en route from those cities to Rome. Near the main gate, you can still see the remains of a 12th-century pilgrims’ shelter.
S.Gimignano counts 14 towers. A visit here also includes access to the archeological museum and Torre Grossa. After your walking tour enjoy a typical wine tasting and light lunch in one of the wineries of the area before heading back to La Spezia.
