Amazing experience with kids - We spent the whole day with our kids (6 and 8yo) exploring Siena and it was a fantastic experience. The map steered us away from the crowds and kept the kids engaged for almost 7 hours. We could not have asked for more!

Great fun - We enjoyed this experience. Our 6 year old, loved the idea of finding the animals and taking pictures. It took us a lot longer than 2:30 to get to see all 17 animals. It also took us to parts of Siena that we would not have seen.

Amazing Family Experience - My family LOVED this experience!!! I have older kids (15 and 11) and we’ve been to Siena a few times but this is the first time we found and saw all the contrada! We loved walking around town at our own pace and collect photos of all the statues, signs, etc. TRULY a unique experience that we’ll always remember. Plus my kids still love picking out their favorite contrada.

Amazing and unconventional tour to get to know Siena - Normally my friends and I never take tours. We prefer to explore the city ourselves. We stumbled upon this shop by excitant and took Polaroid tour and it was the best decision ever! Totally worse it. Siena is a very interesting city and this tour is like a treasure hunt! Super interesting and entertaining content plus memories for life with instant pictures! Highly highly recommended :)

Fun experience with our family - This was a really neat idea. However, lots of walking with small children (7, 7 and 4). We didn’t get close to finishing the 17 animals, maybe reached 11. We took about 4.5 hours including a stop for lunch. It was a great entertaining way to see the city and the kids loved taking the pictures so I would recommend for a creative way to see Siena!
