We really enjoyed our tour. The guide was knowledgeable and very passionate about her city. We were able to see many highlights that we had hoped to see on our very short trip to Siena. Very glad we booked this tour
Anita did a wonderful job of showing us around the “neighborhoods” and churches of Siena. She really brought the city to life for us, tying in the history of the horse race competition to life today. We loved talking with her and hearing her stories. She was flexible meeting us as we were a bit late arriving. I highly recommend a walk around Siena with Anita!
Marianna our tour Guide was Wonderful! She educated us about the history of Sienna, was very knowledgeable and proud of living there and engaged with us during our private tour. Sienna is a truly Beautiful and diverse City to visit and a must for any Tuscany visit.
Our guide Marianna was incredible. It was a terrible cold and rainy day but she happily showed us her city of Siena. We didn't just see the touristy site but side streets and great views. She was very interesting to listen too. I would highly recommend this tour.
We wcertainly covered a lot of history and a lot of steps. A great way to see Siena’s districts and highlights in 3 hrs.
Jacopo was a most generous and informative guide. We learnt so much about the history and traditions of Siena during our walk.

Awesome experience and great insights to the history and culture of Siena. Anita was great
Our guide, Marianna, was absolutely wonderful! She showed up early, and throughout the three-hour tour it was obvious how very proud she is of her home and its history. She customized our tour and showed us so many different parts of Sienna. She also provided wonderful recommendations for aperativo and dinner. She smiled the whole way through the tour and filled it with anecdotes and great historical and cultural tidbits. I cannot say enough about her as a guide. Grazie, Marianna, for making our morning so special!
