Luisa made our day so memorable - Luisa was delightful. She knew so much about Siena culture, history and attractions. She walked the city with us sharing information about Siena past and present. We learned things we would never have been able to grasp on our own. Having a private guide is definitely the best way to see Siena and we would definitely recommend Luisa as a guide.

Absolutely wonderful! - Luisa was absolutely wonderful! She was so enjoyable, in fact, we booked with her multiple times and would absolutely book with her again, if we were to return to Siena. She was patient, fun, flexible, and so informative with our family and friends group of varying backgrounds and languages. We were fortunate enough to be in Siena when the stunning cathedral mosaic floors were uncovered and visible to visitors. Luisa walked us through the progression of the imagery starting from outside the cathedral then inside to see the mosaics, Michelangelo’s St. Paul, and other breathtaking works of art, all within our desired timeframe. Highly recommended!
