Decide with your guide if you want to have a 2 or 3 hours tour! Discover the treasures of one of the most beautiful cities in the world through the eyes of a local and immerse yourself in its art, culture and traditions as the horse race the Palio, which takes place twice a year. Stroll in the ancient streets and admire the Basilica of San Domenico, the St. Catherine of Siena Church, Piazza del Campo, Palazzo Pubblico, ancient palaces, the important pilgrims road, the Baptistery and the Cathedral. If you wish, visit also the inside of the Cathedral, where you will admire the artworks of important Italian artists, such as Michelangelo, Donatello and Bernini. If you are more interested in the Palio tradition, we suggest to visit a Contrada Museum. You will find out why this horse race is so important for the Sienese and admire the prizes won over the centuries.

    Good overview of the city and its history. Guide was very knowledgeable. Experience was a little boring for small children. Very interesting for those who would like to know the Catholic history of Siena. We liked the info about the various contrada in Siena.

    Lots of background on architecture and history of St Catrin. It was just my wife and I with Iloria and she was lovely. Zero complaints about the actual tour. However…very poor instructions on meeting point! No landmarks to identify our guide vs the other dozen tours (how about a sign??). We had the same experience at Accademie in Florence and it was brutal-this is a Viator problem NOT the local guides

  • Passionate and learned guide.

    Exceptional visit with a passionate guide and showing great erudition. Maria made us feel all the rich past of Siena and its history through her knowledge, emotion and inexhaustible energy. The visit more than met our expectations and we recommend it unreservedly.
