Our Siena “Family Tour” with Ludovica was perfection. Not only was her knowledge expansive and her English was impeccable she was very personable and patient. We had a private group tour and she was flexible with what focused on. Every question was answered with kindness. Ludovica was my favorite tour guide perhaps ever.
Our family group of seven really enjoyed this tour with Barbara. She was incredibly knowledgeable and excited about showing us the secrets of Siena. Barbara was good with adults and children, engaging each person during the tour.
Thank you for your lovely review! It means a lot to us to know that you had a memorable tour. We hope to welcome you back again someday! Chiara from Siena Experience Italian Hub :)

Really a beautiful guided tour with a very available guide and who adapted the tour to our needs giving us a lot of interesting ideas. Not negligible the tales about the prize and the rivalry between the districts. Highly recommended
Grazie mille per le sue gentili parole! Siamo entusiasti che abbia apprezzato il tour e il suo tempo a Siena. È stato un piacere averla con noi! Speriamo di rivederla presto. Chiara, Siena Experience Italian Hub
My family and I recently visited Siena and booked the Siena Family Tour. With two small children (ages 3 and 4), we were looking for a tour that would be engaging for both adults and kids, and this tour exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Barbara, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She made history come alive with fascinating anecdotes and legends, keeping both the adults and children entertained. We discovered the mysteries of Siena and learned about the symbol of Siena, the she-wolf, which proudly stands atop its columns. Barbara also introduced us to the 17 Contrade, the districts of Siena, and their unique animal symbols and she explained the significance of the Palio. The kids especially enjoyed the little fountains scattered throughout the streets where the Sienese are baptized. The tour was a perfect balance of education and fun, making it an ideal experience for families. Barbara’s ability to engage with our young children and make the tour enjoyable for everyone was truly remarkable. I highly recommend this tour to any family visiting Siena. Five stars!
We're so happy to hear you had a great experience. Siena is a special place, and we're glad we could share its beauty and history with you! Hope to see you soon! Chiara from Siena Experience Italian Hub :)
Even without kids it was so informative and fun With kids it was charming with pictures, stories and props that brought Siena, it’s districts and traditions to life
Thank you very much ;) We are happy you had a nice experience with our guide. Hope to see you again very soon!
Barbara was an excellent guide. We are a family of 6 with a 7 yr old and 4 yr old. She made the tour very fun and interesting for them while the adults learned a lot too! The 2 hour tour length was perfect.
