Magical Siena - Siena was a highlight of our trip to Tuscany. Our guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and informative and helped us get to know Siena in a way that we would not have been able to do on our own. With her knowledge, we were able to avoid some of the steepest hills in town, which was important for some members of our group with knee issues. Highly recommend this tour! We loved Siena!

Super recommended!! - Amazing tour to the center of Siena. The walk was pleasant and suitable for all ages. You can breathe a medieval charm, just as the name of the tour suggests. The views of the city chosen by the guide allowed us to take beautiful photos. Super recommended!!

The agreed upon highlight of our Tuscan adventure!!! - 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 - 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.
