Entertaining Historical Tour - Ambra is an excellent guide. She provided a wealth of information. More importantly she wove the history into entertaining stories. She even made the Palio come to life for us!

Excellent 2 hr tour of Siena - My guide was personable,clear, very well researched, and interesting. Julia had vast knowledge of Siena, and shared a drop with us. I was very fortunate to be on her tour, forgetting about the extreme heat.

Claudia was excellent - learned a lot - Claudia was great!
So cheerful, knowledgeable, friendly, open to questions, and my personal favorite: clearly erudite - especially, sharing a lot about art and language / etymology. Really enjoyed her guidance.
The length, and amount of time in each place, was just right for my taste.
