I must do in sienna - This was the perfect way to learn about sienna and the history of how and when it was started. We learned about the horse racing. We learned about the road from France all the way to Rome and its significance with sienna. Seeing a medieval town in person is spectacular. We ended at the Duomo And that was well worth it. The decorations, frescoes, and history of the church was well worth it. We even were given tickets to go up to an observatory where Galileo Galilei stayed for six months in sienna. It truly was a special way to spend the day. I would highly recommend this tour. It took about one hour. It was just the right amount for our family.

A great summary of a place with an astonishing history - The cathedral was exceptional with so many sculptures by the most famous sculptors in history all in one place excellently described by our local guide Elena. She have us great historical references around Siena and to top it off told us the best red wine (Brunello!) and best places to eat!

Light-hearted but lots of relevant history - Constanza was a lovely guide. She obviously knew so much about Siena but didn’t just give us a history lesson. This tour gives a gentle flavour and understanding of the Sienese people. An ideal introduction and pleasant pace

Walking tour Siena - Adele is an excellent, informed and communicative guide. She covered a lot in her two hours talking about the history, culture and physical organisation of Siena. Highly recommended.

Good tour guide, Viator needed to provide better information. - Claudia was great at relating the history and culture related to the stops along the walking tour. My only two issues were that I think Viator could have made it clear that the Duomo is not open until 1:30 p.m. on Sundays. We thought the Duomo would be part of our tour. Additionally, we signed up for an English speaking tour. As it turned out, it was an English/Italian tour, so half the time we didn’t know what was being discussed. Viator should make it clear when a tour is dual language….each language loses half the time of the tour. If it were single language we could have seen and learned about twice the sites/events/culture that we got on the dual language tour.
