Personalized city tours with local hosts.
Learn about their personal stories, and find out how you can explore Siena together
My husband and I visited Siena for the first time and it will not be our last thanks to Stella! Stella is a native to the area and her pride for this beautiful area is articulated in every word. She is full of knowledge and knows all the gems. She explained the rich history and traditions that still are celebrated today. We visited a variety of places including religious and historical sites but also local food and wine shops which was awesome. The next day, we circled back to local bakery we visited for more delicious cookies known in the area and then to a wine store for a tasting where we wound up joining their wine club because we loved it all so much. Stella gave us recommendations for dinner that did it disappoint! We really enjoyed the local cuisine. Save Stella to see Siena.
Although Siena is a small town, there is so much to see if you are willing to take the time to look around the corner. This tour is a great way to get an overview of the whole city as well as taste various specialties of the region. The tour takes a little over 2 hours. There is a lot of walking, but the pace is just right. Maria Elena is a delightful host. While guiding us through the city, she provided us with the history and stories of Siena, all the while letting us taste various delicacies along the way. We learned of the Palio, the Contrades, as well as the history of Siena. After the tour, we knew exactly where we wanted to go to further explore this fascinating city. I highly recommend this tour! Ask for Maria Elena.
Think about it. A tour of three hours in a city, you don’t know. Come on. But Pamela made the impossoble to at very engaging and interesting Tours de Siena. Not a minute too long. She is well prepared, always open to questions and putting the answers into a bigger context. It was a pleasure to spent the afternoon in Siena with Pamela.
We met with Stella and right from the start we knew she knew her stuff. As we walked through town we stopped along the way to meet local shop keepers, while she provided the history behind the different districts ( and we know now there are 17!) She took us into Il Duomo pointing out the stories behind many of the statues, paintings and sculptures. Traversing the city with her was a real treasure! We would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about Siena to take a tour with Stella
