Many people alas visit Siena too rapidly and believe
that once they have visited the main square and entered the Duomo
they have seen it all. This is a big mistake, Siena offers an incredible
number of hidden treasures and mysteries without considering the
intriguing Palio traditions. When people ask me what is the best
thing to do in Siena I have no doubt what to answer “Get lost!”
By this I don't mean to be rude but suggest to enter the alleys
and walk through them without a goal, simply enjoying the endless
labyrinth car-less crime-less medieval streets in a breathtaking
medieval atmosphere.

Siena is probably the best preserved gothic medieval
city in Italy and to be able to understand it in full I have chosen
Elena and Annalisa two local born authorized guides that will be
happy to share their strong passion and their attachment to the
city they love
This tour is the most elastic in terms of timetables.
We can suggest an appropriate meeting point or pick you up where
required. You will not be mixed with other groups and during the
tour you will visit the Duomo and the world famous Piazza del Campo
as well as walking through the many back roads. The guides will
also allow you to visit the private museum of a 'Contrada' where
you will have the opportunity of viewing past 'Palios' and be able
to see the medieval costumes used during our incredible medieval
tradition.
You can choose to do the tour in the morning and
end at lunch and then explore the city on your own in the evening
or you can combine my presentation in the morning and then decide
to do the tour after lunch. You can also decide do a full day tour.
