• Siena - Experience Siena through the perspective of a local who cherishes it—exploring serene lanes, historic squares, neighborhood fountains, and hidden altars. This is not a scripted tour; it’s a flexible, personalized journey tailored to your preferences. Prior to your walk, your host will contact you with a brief questionnaire to learn about your interests—whether you are fascinated by sacred art, medieval architecture, local cuisine, or tranquil viewpoints. Here are some places you might visit:
• Piazza del Campo - Start in Siena’s striking, shell-shaped square—home to the Palio horse race and centuries of civic life. Your host will explain how this iconic space embodies the spirit, rivalry, and unity of Siena’s historic districts.
• Fonte Gaia - Take a moment at this elaborate Renaissance fountain, where sculpted panels once celebrated abundance and innovation. In this hilltop city, Fonte Gaia is more than a monument—it represents survival, pride, and ingenuity.
• Fontebranda - One of Siena’s oldest and most atmospheric fountains. Encircled by medieval stone and arches, it narrates a story of water, survival, and the wool guild that once dominated the area.
• Via di Citta - Walk along this elegant historic street where artisan boutiques and daily life coexist. As locals enjoy their coffee, your host will explain how the street connects the city’s political and cultural core.
• Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico - Enter this solemn 13th-century church, where relics of Saint Catherine provide a profound insight into devotion, mysticism, and Siena’s spiritual essence.
• Ristorante/pizzeria All’Orto de’ Pecci - Escape the cobblestones for this peaceful medieval garden just outside the city walls. Chickens wander, herbs thrive, and Siena’s hustle fades into birdsong—offering an ideal spot to pause and reflect.
