Additional Information

Embark on a journey of discovery to San Marino, the world’s fifth smallest independent country whose intriguing nature is undeniable. This mini nation was recognized as a UNESCO Heritage Site in 2008.

Start your adventure at a common meet-up point where you will be introduced to the historical core of Europe’s oldest republic, San Marino.

The UNESCO-protected historical heart of this republic is a living testament to the past, attracting millions of tourists from all over the globe.

Embark on a stroll through the tight streets and stone-paved paths, navigating around city squares and past beautiful churches. Drop by the Piazza della Libertà, the city’s central gathering place, home to the City Hall and the Basilica of St. Marino. Make your way uphill to the medieval First Tower, poised atop the hill.

Prepare to climb numerous steps to reach the top of the tower, but rest assured the incredible, sweeping views of the Apennines Mountains and the Adriatic Sea from the apex will be worth it.

San Marino may be small in stature but it is vast in offerings, hosting a wealth of stores and boutiques. Enjoy a unique shopping experience in this tax-free haven.

Wonderful tour, highly recommended. - An absolutely brilliant tour. Our guide was so knowledgeable and informative and clearly had a great passion for his home. The tour was taken at our pace and we had plenty of time to ask questions, take photos and experience the place without any rush. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough - a really fascinating insight to this beautiful little State that is so full of history.

A Wonderful Look at the History and Culture of San Marino - My group of 8 travelled from Australia not knowing very much about San Marino, but left wishing we lived there! It’s a stunning location, friendly people and Andrea shared his love for his country with us in a very informative and touching way. One of the best experiences we had in 3 weeks overseas!

Andre the great! - Viator dropped the ball on this tour; they did NOT schedule a guide. Our son was able to contact agency and Andre came immediately! Best tour guide we have had in a long time! Beautiful country and worth the effort to visit! Authentic food was delicious! Thanks Andre for your joy you shared!!!

Wonderful Day at San Marino - Had a wonderful time at San Marino. We were there for only one day. In that short time, Andrea was able to share with us the history, culture and uniqueness of his country. We are very happy to have the opportunity to visit this beautiful country.

Fascinating country - I’ve never heard of San Marino until my daughter suggested we add it to our itinerary. I’m glad we did! Antonia, our tour guide is very knowledgeable. I learned many things about the country and its history. She even got us pictures with the uniformed guards and our passports stamped with visa entry into the country.

Fell in Love with San Marino - This was excellent! Andrea informed us all about the history and culture of San Marino and showed us some places we would have missed on our own. He is so proud of his country and it was great to hear him speak so fondly of this beautiful nation/city. San Marino itself is fabulous! It is my new favorite European country.

My dad cried (in a good way) - Our tour guide was amazing. He clearly cared so much about his country, and was able to answer some really out there questions. Once he knew a bit more about us he clearly tailored some things to our interest. It felt like a conversation about San Marino instead of a lecture. After the tour, my dad was crying happy tears that we'd made the decision to see San Marino and book the tour.
