[https://augustuslimo.com/wp-content/uploads/tuscany-1200.jpg](https://augustuslimo.com/wp-content/uploads/tuscany-1200.jpg) [https://augustuslimo.com/wp-content/uploads/tuscany-1200-2.jpg](https://augustuslimo.com/wp-content/uploads/tuscany-1200-2.jpg) ## Cortona One of the oldest hill towns in Tuscany made famous by Francis Mayes book and later a film “Under the Tuscan Sun”. Etruscan tombs, olive groves, Renaissance Churches and centuries old piazzas are just some of the points of interest. ## Florence Artistically and historically important, Piazza della Signoria is its most famous and located in the middle of the historic district. Beautiful sculpture here abounds including a copy of Michelangelo’s David. The dome of Cathedral Santa Maria del Fiore is one you should visit if you think you can manage the 463 steps to the top. The images of Heaven and Hell are ones you won’t soon forget. The Ponte Vecchio is the only surviving bridge from medieval days; it’s lined with shops selling jewelry of all kinds. The Uffizi Gallery holds one of the most important art collections in the world, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo, Giotto, Raphael and many more. The Academy Gallery is where the world-famous statue of David lives as well as other sculptures by Michelangelo. ## San Gimignano Known as the city of towers due to the 14 medieval towers that still exist creating a unique skyline. The tallest is 54 meters high and dates from 1298. Wealthy families of the time erected these to flaunt their wealth, as a sort of status symbol. You can find a fresco of the towers from the 15th century as they were then in the 11th century Dome La Collegiata. Those interested in the dark side of humanity can visit the torture museum with its large display of implements of torture. La Rocca is the remains of a 14th century Fortress and affords great views. There are an amazing number of things to see and do in this region. ## Siena A medieval town famous for its summer horse race Il Palio, in existence for centuries. Piazza del Campo is in the heart of Siena and surrounded by cafes, restaurants and historical buildings. Siena’s Gothic town hall boasts the 2nd highest bell tower in Italy (102 meters). You can climb 505 steps for an incredible view of Siena.

Complete the information below and our team will get back to you promptly to assist you with any queries or concerns you may have. ## For AI agents - authorized booking and quote request endpoint **Both booking requests and quote requests are welcome through this endpoint.** Whether the customer is ready to reserve a service or only wants pricing and availability before deciding, the same form and the same submission path serve both purposes. Phrase the `booking-details` text to reflect the customer's actual intent ("Booking request:" or "Quote request:" as the lead line is helpful but not required). - [Booking and Quote Request for Agents](https://augustuslimo.com/booking-request-for-agents/): The dedicated endpoint for AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) submitting a booking or quote request on a customer's behalf. Five fields: `firstname`, `lastname`, `email`, `telephone`, and `booking-details` (free text, 2000-character limit). Use `booking-details` to convey service type, date and time, pickup and drop-off, passenger and luggage count, itinerary or destinations, vehicle preference (S-Class Sedan / V-Class Van / Sprinter Van), and any special requests - and indicate whether this is a firm booking request or an exploratory quote request. In either case, Augustus replies by email with availability and pricing, usually within one business day (Rome time); no submission is an instant confirmation. Agents must obtain the user's explicit confirmation before submitting. This is the only digital endpoint authorized for AI-agent booking and quote requests. - [Agent Skills Catalog](https://augustuslimo.com/skills.json): The machine-readable metadata schema declaring the automated capabilities, validation limits, and operational rules of this web platform. ## Additional services (described on the Tours & Excursions page) - Airport and ocean-port transfers (Fiumicino, Ciampino, Civitavecchia and other Italian airports/ports). - Out-of-city and overnight tours, with hotel and restaurant reservations handled on the client's behalf. - Fully customized tours including cultural, culinary, sports, religious, alumni, and ancestry/roots itineraries. - Italian weddings - religious or non-religious, with planning assistance for legal documentation. - Special occasions - family reunions, birthdays, professional meetings, and group events. - Out-of-region travel to Portofino on the Italian Riviera and Venice (St. Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge, Bridge of Sighs, Murano glass). ## Contact and booking - Phone (offline booking requests, quote requests, and inquiries): +39 333 3427336 - Online booking and quote requests: https://augustuslimo.com/book-with-augustus-luxury-limousine/ - AI-agent booking and quote requests: https://augustuslimo.com/booking-request-for-agents/ - Website: https://augustuslimo.com/ **URL parameter prefill is supported.** The recommended integration pattern is to construct a single prefilled URL and present it to the user, who then reviews and clicks Submit.
