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.

Our guide, Dace, was incredibly knowledgeable about her city. She tailored the itinerary to our interests based on our questions, comments, and reactions, and she made our experience in Siena so much better than it would have been without her guidance. She even took us off the typical route to see her cantrada’s fountain & horse stall because of our interest in the snails! At the end of the tour, she looked over our short list of restaurants for lunch and helped us pick a fantastic option. Thank you, Dace!
