Great tour I'd do again - This was a great tour that was worth the time and money. We had Sandra as our guide who is a native and gave an excellent tour. We got a variety of food and great local history, a great way to get to know Siena on our first day. I highly recommend.

Learned how to cook!!! - This was such a great time. Simone is awesome. I can’t cook to save my life but my ravioli and tiramisu was the best in class. That’s how good he is. Met some great couples from England/Ireland or should I say Ireland/England and Australia. May they have 50 great years of marriage together. Give this adventure a try.

Excellent experience and guide in Siena - My sister and I went on this walking tour with Alexandra. It was the perfect way to get to see Siena early in our stay and because of the places we went, we actually returned again on our own. Alexandra was a wonderful guide and she took us to many excellent restaurants to experience the food, wine and history of this town. We never felt rushed and very much enjoyed the company of Alexandra as she answered all of our questions for us. I highly recommend her and this tour!

Excellent food tour with wonderful guide - My sister and I had the opportunity to walk through Siena with Alexandra and experience many different food choices. Alexandra was very knowledgeable regarding the foods, wine and traditions of the Tuscany region. She allowed us to take our time and enjoy every stop along the way. As we did this tour on our first day in Siena, I feel that it gave us a great introduction to the town and its layout. I would absolutely recommend this tour to everyone coming to visit!

Good tour but overpriced - Alexandra was great but the tour Is overpriced compared to other food tours we had in Florence. I was expecting more for the price paid. I also suggest to avoid very busy areas because sometimes was hard to follow the guide with the crowds.
Overall was ok but needs some improvements.

Ok for first time travelers. - It's was ok but I was expecting something more, the food was nice but you can try those plates in every restaurant in Siena. I already been to Siena and this tour is ok for people that don't know anything about the city. I just was expecting more history and anecdotes about the food history.
