It is one of Siena’s most significant churches! The basilica is built entirely of brick and is distinguished by its simplicity on the outside, devoid of elaborate decoration! Let's explore it!
Fontebranda is the oldest, most famous and impressive of all Sienese water sources. This building is located on a street with ancient medieval charm that we will explore !
Siena Cathedral, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, is one of the masterpieces of Italian Gothic architecture and one of the city’s main attractions. Get ready! Ticket cost: from 10,50€
We are located near the apse of the cathedral. Built between 1316 and 1325, it has an unfinished facade while the interior was enriched in the 15th century with various paintings and sculptures. Ticket cost: from 18€ (with Opera museum, Cathedral, and Facciatone included)

The top floor of the museum provides access to the “Facciatone.” Get ready to enjoy an amazing view of the city! Ticket cost: from 18€ (with Baptistery, Cathedral, and Opera Museum included)
The symbol that most represents Siena is just one of the reasons UNESCO identifies Siena as the perfect and ideal example of a medieval city.
Competing with Piazza del Campo is really difficult, but even this square has its charm. In particular, the building that catches the eye most of all is Palazzo Salimbeni, an excellent example of Sienese Gothic.

The way to define it is: wonderful and liberating. It is very well organized, with clear and concise explanations, and you can arrange things as you wish.
Fantastic experience! You can decide when to start the tour easy to follow’
Very convenient for visiting Siena alone; the explanations and content are clear. I recommend it without hesitation.
Funny and informative. Enjoyed the tour.
Ease of use from start to finish. The directions to the different sites were accurate and the audio and written descriptions were great.
Given some of the previous reviews, I was concerned about connectivity for this tour. However, everything worked perfectly. I enjoyed the way the tour was set up, and I felt like we saw things that we wouldn’t necessarily have seen If we were trying to figure things out on our own. I also liked the included maps which made getting from one place to another very easy. The Set up allowed us to spend as much time at each site as we wanted. I would hardly recommend this tour.
Great way to see all the main sites in your own time with informative information to read or listen too. Strongly recommend.
A great way to self guide around Siena. It would have been helpful to have a slightly better map or clearer directions between stops, but it was a good way to see the City
An excellent and easy way to visit Siena on your own terms. Well worth the money. Highly recommend
This was a good way to take in Siena. However, there needs to be warnings about the steep climbs and descents on the route, and possible alternative routes or suggestions where a taxi might hit be a good choice for less able-bodied folk. I made it fine because I’m in pretty good shape for a 64 yr old, but it’s not an easy walk in the park. Also let people know they need some sturdy shoes for all of the uneven terrain.
