Awesome, amazing tour! - We had an amazing experience with our awesome tour guide, Ambra. She was so knowledgeable about the history of Siena and all of the historic buildings. Having her give us a tour of the Cathedral was the highlight of the morning! She truly loves her job and it made the excursion that much more wonderful! We loved her enthusiasm about the recent horse race, it made us wish we that had been there! We highly recommend this tour!

Fun and informative! - We were two adults and a 15-year-old. Patricia, our Guide, spoke very good French and knew her subject perfectly. We greatly appreciated the visit and its commentary embellished with anecdotes and historical references. Everything was extremely pleasant and Patricia very friendly. Thank you very much!

Great way to spend the day in Siena. - Our guide and our experience were great Ludivelia was knowledgeable and very interesting. She explained a lot about the Palio and all of the stories and history. Everyone in our group 9-71 in years thought that this was a great way to spend a day in Siena. We all watched the Palio the following night

It was a profound and unforgettable experience. - Sabrina, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the city -- it's history and its present day. She has an insiders' understanding and familiarity, with the people and places, and helps bring to vivid life the rich history and culture of this beautiful place. After spending three hours with her on the one day, I went back the next and spent another six or seven hours getting to know what she introduced to me in some greater detail.
