About the trip

This intimate six-night tour with G Adventures lodges you in a shared apartment within a farmhouse just outside San Gimignano, a medieval hill town known for its towers. From here, you can stroll the town’s narrow lanes or take orientation walks to understand its layout and local services.

Included activities highlight a home-cooked dinner with a local resident named Ugo, a cooking class in San Gimignano, and a tasting of regional wines. The tour offers day trips to Florence, Siena, and Volterra, with opportunities to visit local alabaster workshops and hike through the surrounding countryside. Rail and bus transport are used between destinations, and note that carrying your own luggage is necessary due to limited assistance and stairs at Italian train stations.

Expect modest room amenities without air conditioning at the farmhouse, plus a pace that leaves room for spontaneity. The tour is led by a group leader to ease logistics and enrich the travel experience. The trip closes shortly after departure from Florence, with no surprises in the route’s simple, countryside-focused itinerary.
