Savoring Siena - Wonderful and informative tour. Elena was terrific—so animated and engaging. She gave us a great overview of this beautiful walled city, stopping at key places to show us notable architecture and piazzas while sharing their history. The highlight was the tour of the basilica, which is a truly spectacular experience rivaling anything in Italy in its lavish and exquisite design. The pace of the tour was perfect and though Siena has some very steep hills, she picked a very reasonable route. Highly recommended!

Best way to learn to love Siena - Loved this tour! We joined on our first full day in Siena and Marella didn’t waste any time bringing the city to life! She gave us insights into both current and historical Siena, the contrade, Palio and so much more. Ending the tour in the Duomo, we were shown little pieces of history we would not have known to look for ourselves. The tour gave us a much better appreciation for the city and laid the groundwork for an amazing stay.

Nice tour of Siena - Tour guide was great. Siena is beautiful. I feel like we spent too much time talking about the horse race. Church and piazzas were great.

Whistlestop Tour - Interesting tour of Siena, the tour guide had plenty of information to share but was a little brusque and made no allowance for the less mobile members of the group.
