Welcome to Siena!

A privately guided city orientation walk with food tastings.

Prepare to be transported back to the middle ages upon entering the awe inspiring Piazza Del Campo where the Palio, Siena’s famous horse race, commences twice a year.

Tuscany is one of the most visited regions in all of Italy, if not the world. Its vast, awe inspiring landscape, rich history, and delectable food and wine, bring travellers repeatedly, as once is just not enough.

Lovers of arts, architecture, history, or cuisine should not overlook the Renaissance masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site that is Siena, with its innate charm, rich history, delectable recipes, and famous museums.

Our expert guides lead guests through the winding streets of Siena’s “contrade” districts, to the Palazzo Pubblico (Town Hall) which hosts artwork by Lorenzetti and Simone Martini, then onto the impressive Duomo which contains masterpieces by Michelangelo, Donatello, Pinturicchio, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Bernini

From the square of Salimbeni, to the historic Bank of Monte dei Paschi, to the Basilica of San Domenico, and the church of Santa Caterina, learn and taste all that is Siena through anecdotes and places that only locals know.
