What a treat to have this special insight into Siena and the Palio on the day of the last trial! Stella brought the excitement and the drama of this event alive with her personal insights and historical storytelling. This really was a highlight to our time in Tuscany, and we loved having this enriched understanding as it buzzed all around us!
Idania was a fantastic guide, who introduced us to Siena and its traditions in a passionate and knowledgeable way. We had our three children with us, and she found ways to keep them engaged throughout! We highly recommend!
We arrived in Siena by train from Florence, a group of six who had never visited the city before. We took the tour based around Il Palio, the famous horse race which takes place in the piazza twice a year. Although we had heard about the event none of us had any idea about its impact on Siena and its society. Stella was so engaging and knowledgeable, and spoke brilliant English, and we really came away feeling that we had gained a proper understanding of the race's history and importance. She also weaved in the story of Siena, and gave us lots of recommendations of books and films she thought we would enjoy. Altogether a great afternoon, and I would definitely recommend Stella to others! Thank you!
Stella was so sweet and kind. She made our tour very special! We enjoyed our time in Siena. She is an amazing host!
