Little known gem...Siena

Published on Jan, 2025

Barbara was an excellent guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Had wonderful information about each location. Really enjoyed learning about the different districts in Siena and all about the horse race. Siena is a World Heritage Site for all the right reasons. Beautiful city, wonderful people.

The agreed upon highlight of our Tuscan adventure!!!

Published on Oct, 2024

Sienna was the agreed upon highlight of our trip!!! Our tour guide, Benedetta, was incredibly knowledgeable about her hometown and its history. Not only did she share her passion for Sienna but she was so gracious and helpful. Do not miss Sienna and if you can, book this private tour!!!

Worthwhile tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Barbara was very knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. She went out of her way to try to make the tour entertaining for the child in our group and for us despite the rain. Siena’s duomo was beautiful as well as seeing the view from her school of the Piazzo del Campo while enjoying her hospitality.

Great tour, be prepared for lots of hills, up and down.

Lavinia walked us around Siena on a beautiful fall day and shared the history of Siena and about certain buildings. She explained the 17 contrasts and how the compete in the Palio twice a year. We were lucky to see a celebration parade of the winners later that evening.

Really informative tour!

Published on Sep, 2024

Lavinia was our tour guide and she was great! We learned so much about Siena, the history and the “contradas”. Our best tour yet! Really enjoyed it!
