My family and I recently visited Siena and booked the Siena Family Tour. With two small children (ages 3 and 4), we were looking for a tour that would be engaging for both adults and kids, and this tour exceeded our expectations.
Our guide, Barbara, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She made history come alive with fascinating anecdotes and legends, keeping both the adults and children entertained. We discovered the mysteries of Siena and learned about the symbol of Siena, the she-wolf, which proudly stands atop its columns.
Barbara also introduced us to the 17 Contrade, the districts of Siena, and their unique animal symbols and she explained the significance of the Palio. The kids especially enjoyed the little fountains scattered throughout the streets where the Sienese are baptized.
The tour was a perfect balance of education and fun, making it an ideal experience for families. Barbara’s ability to engage with our young children and make the tour enjoyable for everyone was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this tour to any family visiting Siena. Five stars!
