Stunning views, history of it, politics background & not to skip a physical challenge of walking up & down. In all, it was very memorable time to visit The Republic of San Marino. Sara was great in presenting all aspects of history, religion, architecture & politics. Note: have a good tracking solely sneakers, knees compression bands might be helpful for going down the passages and hidden steps... Thank you, from USA SC

Alessia was very nice and showed us all the important places to learn about San Marino history. She explained the historical points and history the culture. The historical center is small so this is a short walking tour.
Excellent

Alessia was a wonderful guide and quite knowledgeable. Her pride in her country was apparent! Despite the rain, she made sure to make me comfortable and was very responsive when I messaged her about parking.
Enjoyable Walking Tour with Excellent Guide!

I very much enjoyed my walking tour of San Marino! Sara was an excellent guide and shared San Marino’s history with me. She was quite knowledgeable and was willing to answer all my questions. We walked around the historical center on San Marino and then up to Tower #1. Sara made suggestions for things to visit after the tour and I enjoyed all of those. This tour is a great introduction to San Marino!
Sara is 1st rate!!!

Sara did a wonderful job, bringing to life the rich culture and history of the people and land of San Marino. Culturally and linguistically, the people of San Marino are Italian. But, they have a wonderful spirit of fierce independence and giving, that is all their own. We not only saw that, in the historical buildings, and documents, but FELT it, throughout the tour. Thank you, Sara.
I'd take this tour AGAIN

I loved our guide. Just my mom and I with her. She went slow, answered questions and really showed us all the best parts of the city. If anything I just wish there was an even longer option. Sarah was amazing confirming prior and giving us a great tour.
San Marino is a wonderful surprise

Outstanding views within and surrounding this ancient and historic town. Definitely a place to visit and will keep your head spinning for 2 to 3 days if you are interested in battlements, castles, towers and independent states that display an integrity all of their own.
