Benny was a great tour guide in explaining Siena and its history; Catherine, its patron saint; its contrade and Palio di Siena. Even though the Siena Cathedral was not a part of our tour, I had contacted the tour company in advance about getting skip-the-line tickets to the cathedral. Benny accommodated us that day by securing the skip-the-line tickets and taking us on a brief tour inside. It would not have been the same if we had tried to do it on our own - we wouldn't have gained the same knowledge, so we really appreciated her doing so (even though it meant forgoing some of the other items on the tour). The cathedral was worth it - amazingly beautiful inside. In addition, the exclusive window view of Piazza del Campo was also worth it. To actually gain entrance to one of Siena's buildings, go to the top and see the piazza from that viewpoint with a cool, refreshing drink and small snack was a fantastic way to end the tour. Plus, our family of six were the only ones on the tour, which made for a memorable and feeling like VIPs for the day.

We really enjoyed our stay in Siena. Proximity to Campo off from the famous and ancient Via Città was two minutes. The apartment has two large bedrooms, a large living area with nice furniture and a fully equipped kitchen. Just one bathroom, but that was spacious. Friendly owner.

Tiziana was amazing! From finding us in the crowd to her encyclopedic knowledge of Siena and the entire Tuscany region, she was a delight.
Every step of the tour brought the wonders of Siena to life. Views and historical details we never would have found on our own.

An excellent tour of the Siena , thank you to our guide Lavinia. Her knowledge of and passion for her home city meant we were able to gain an understanding of Siena’s history in two hours which would not have been possible without her guidance. A really enjoyable tour.

Such an incredible tour. Our tour guide Shokla was so kind, funny and knowledgeable. She shared such wonderful stories of history, art and palio day. She was accommodating for my aging parents who struggled with the hills in the city. This tour was a highlight!
