Enjoy Tour Tuscany is the best! - We took a guided tour of Siena focusing on Palio history and how it is run now. We learned so much and were able to take a tour of the "Owl" contrade's home led by Elena Grifoni. The museum was awesome as was our museum guide, but we did not realize that we would be going below ground to see where the Etruscan people lived centuries ago. It was amazing! The tour was so important as we were there during the July Palio in Sienna. Highly recommend the tour with Elena and the team of Francesca and Martina of @enjoytourtusdcany when visiting Tuscany and on the ground in beautiful Siena. They arranged a beautiful flat for us just outside the city walls within walking distance of everywhere as well as an Elsa river tour and rafting trip with our guide Rudy and T-Rafting guide Sebastian. What a great trip!
