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.

Sienna was the agreed upon highlight of our trip!!! Our tour guide, Benedetta, was incredibly knowledgeable about her hometown and its history. Not only did she share her passion for Sienna but she was so gracious and helpful. Do not miss Sienna and if you can, book this private tour!!!
Worthwhile tour

Barbara was very knowledgeable and lovely to deal with. She went out of her way to try to make the tour entertaining for the child in our group and for us despite the rain. Siena’s duomo was beautiful as well as seeing the view from her school of the Piazzo del Campo while enjoying her hospitality.
Great tour, be prepared for lots of hills, up and down.

Lavinia walked us around Siena on a beautiful fall day and shared the history of Siena and about certain buildings. She explained the 17 contrasts and how the compete in the Palio twice a year. We were lucky to see a celebration parade of the winners later that evening.
Really informative tour!

Lavinia was our tour guide and she was great! We learned so much about Siena, the history and the “contradas”. Our best tour yet! Really enjoyed it!

We had a wonderful tour with our local guide Benedita - highly recommend the tour ! She was so passionate about the city, its traditions, and so knowledgeable (and patient too as we had so many questions). One of the best tour guides we have experienced!
