If you’ve already visited the popular destination of Florence and Pisa, or if
you’re in the mood to experience small towns in Tuscany, the
San Gimignano & Siena Disabled Accessible Tour is for you.

3. www.sagetraveling.com
Two of Tuscany’s most photographed cities are on this tour: San
Gimignano and all of its towers plus the town of Siena, home to the famous
seashell shaped Piazza del Campo. In between your accessible San
Gimignano tour and your accessible Siena tour, you’ll see some of the
beautiful Tuscan countryside while your local tour guide explains
everything around you.

4. www.sagetraveling.com
The San Gimignano & Siena Disabled Accessible Tour starts with a
professionally licensed tour guide greeting you with a wheelchair
accessible van at the Livorno cruise dock. To get to Siena, you will cross a
good part of Tuscany before the van will bring you to the Siena city center
near the Duomo, one of the most important cathedrals of the Gothic style
in Italy. Inside you’ll see the Piccolomini chapel and the architectural plan
to enlarge the cathedral.
Your Siena accessible tour will continue across
the main street of Siena with a description of
the story of the city and the Palio race, with all
the “contradas”. Your visit continues in the
Piazza del Campo, one of the most beautiful
squares in Italy, with the Campanile del Mangia
and in the “Buongoverno” paintings explaining
good and bad government inside the City Hall.

5. www.sagetraveling.com
After leaving Siena, your accessible tour will venture to the hilltop town of
San Gimignano (shown in the photos below).
The town of San Gimignano is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and 14 of the
original 72 towers still remain. This unforgettable skyline is the result of years
of neighbors competing with one another! The town has been here for
millennia and has been under the Etruscans, Romans, self-rule, Florentines,
and Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

6. www.sagetraveling.com
Inside the town you’ll visit the fortress where the Siena soldiers peered
down on possible enemies from Florence or elsewhere. There is a lovely
view of the surrounding country-side that is accessible to disabled
visitors. The Pisa & San Gimignano Accessible Cruise Excursion the
beautiful La Collegiata cathedral and its 12th century frescoes,
representing the Old and New Testaments.
If you’d like to focus more on Renaissance sites, you can choose the
Accessible Florence Highlights Cruise Excursion.

which could be challenging for some disabled visitors.
Accessibility Description

9. www.sagetraveling.com
Siena has been here for over 2000 years…while the hills made for a great
defense against neighbors, they present serious challenges for disabled
visitors! Many of the hills are steep enough that wheelchair users may need
assistance. Some hills (like the one shown on the right) are so steep that they
should be avoided completely! This accessible Siena tour uses the flattest
streets possible to visit the tourist sights.

10. www.sagetraveling.com
Your accessible Siena tour guide will lead you to the wheelchair ramp when
you visit the Duomo di Siena Cathedral.

11. www.sagetraveling.com
The Piazza del Campo slopes down to the Siena City Hall where a wheelchair
ramp is available into the building.

12. www.sagetraveling.com
The main street through San Gimignano, Via San Matteo, leads uphill from
both of the city gates. In the middle of the city is a Piazza del Cisterna.
The severity of the slope is not too bad and is shown in the photos below:

13. www.sagetraveling.com
Some parts of San Gimignano have uneven bricks for pavement (shown on
the left). The photo on the right doesn’t show it too well, but the brick
paths on both side of this extremely steep street actually have small
ledges on them….this street is definitely not wheelchair accessible!
Fortunately, your accessible San Gimignano tour avoids all streets like this!
If you would like visit the most accessible cities in Tuscany, you can choose
