Roberto - an excellent guide of San Grimignano.

Published on Sep, 2024

We booked a 90 minute private tour of San Gimignano. Roberto our tour guide was fantastic. He was upbeat and has a deep knowledge of San Grimignano. We learned so much and he also gave us a wonderful recommendation for gelato and a place to enjoy lunch. We highly recommend him.

Worthwhile Tour

Barbara was very knowledgeable and went out of her way to entertain the child in our group and to accommodate to the rain during our tour. The town and views of the surrounding countryside were truly beautiful. Enjoyed hearing the history behind what we were seeing.
