Annarita is an amazing guide. Explained the importance of each stop, set a pace that was good for us, and shared many lessor known facts at each stop. She set up hard to get dinner reservations and hosted us at her partners winery/olive oil location the next day. She prepared us well for our next 5 days in Siena. Hire Annarita! Made the day special.

We loved spending the day with Anna and learning all about Siena’s important history while eating excellent food (of all varieties). We had two young kids with us and Anna was incredibly patient with our big and slow group!Excellent day full of history & great food

Our family of four, including two teenage boys, enjoyed our walking food tour with Annarita in Siena. She is energetic, conversational and truly a local. We learned about the Palio, neighborhood rivalries and history of Siena. Our specific tour day was very hot, near 100 F, but Annarita kept us in the shade, accommodated extra brief stops and water along our journey. Siena is a terrific smaller city with a character all its own. Be prepared for the hilly landscape while walking. We enjoyed all the food stops - pizza, delicatessen, bakery, chocolatier and gelato. Enriching, enjoyable tastes to connect with a different region of Italy. We would recommend Annarita for a tour and would welcome another tour with her in the future. Food, local perspective and more

Annarita was very accommodating to our large group with many challenges due to broad age range and capabilities. She was very knowledgeable of Siena history and traditions and took us to her favorite stops that we would not have discovered otherwise. I recommend this tour!Great tour with a lovely guide
