IMPORTANT: For those who booked in the mixed group mode (and not private group) contact me before you book: at least 5 people booked to go.
This tour will take you through the fascinating world of the Palio, the renowned horse race that showcases the Sienese people's pride in their Contrada and their city. We'll stroll along picturesque medieval streets, immersing ourselves in the authenticity and charm that earned Siena a spot on the Unesco World Heritage list. Along the way, we'll encounter significant figures who hail from this city, like Santa Caterina. We'll also delve into secular institutions such as the medieval hospital, Santa Maria della Scala, one of the oldest in Europe, the stunning Cathedral (exterior), and the civic powerhouse, Palazzo Pubblico with the magnificent Piazza del Campo.
These iconic Sienese landmarks will grant you a genuine insider's perspective, allowing you to truly know the city and see it through the eyes of a local.

Luisa was delightful. She knew so much about Siena culture, history and attractions. She walked the city with us sharing information about Siena past and present. We learned things we would never have been able to grasp on our own. Having a private guide is definitely the best way to see Siena and we would definitely recommend Luisa as a guide.

Luisa was absolutely wonderful! She was so enjoyable, in fact, we booked with her multiple times and would absolutely book with her again, if we were to return to Siena. She was patient, fun, flexible, and so informative with our family and friends group of varying backgrounds and languages. We were fortunate enough to be in Siena when the stunning cathedral mosaic floors were uncovered and visible to visitors. Luisa walked us through the progression of the imagery starting from outside the cathedral then inside to see the mosaics, Michelangelo’s St. Paul, and other breathtaking works of art, all within our desired timeframe. Highly recommended!
