It was a terrific overview of Siena. Covered the city and loved
learning the history. We also did the Cathedral inside and our guide added a lot.

Thank you for choosing our guide network for your kind visit.
Happy travels!
Sophia was a great guide for us. She showed us where to park our car, to avoid getting a fine or towed. She explained the history of Siena, the 17 Conrad’s districts, and the Pallio races. She toured us through the Duomo, and showed us the former hotel for pilgrims. She coordinated with the next tour of Siena (this afternoon), so we will see different places.

Thank you very much for your kind review.
Sofia is truly a gem.
Take care.
Elizabetta was a great local guide. Lots of history and quirky stories to tell. Gave us time to jump into small shops and not rush us. Ended tour near our parked car. Very knowledgeable and pleasant personality.

Grazie Sandra, a pleasure to be with you and the ladies. And I was happy to show you a bit of the "horse race prep" atmosphere!
Take care!
Sophia gave us a wonderful tour of Siena. She was considerate of what we wanted to see and was helpful and informative. We gained an understanding of the traditions and culture that made us fall in love with the city and its customs.

Grazie for your kind review, Nicole, I lost completely my voice this past week but I knew you would have been in excellent hands with her.
I am so glad to read this.
This was a great start tour. We only had a half day in Siena and saw the highlights. Elisabetta was very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time in the cathedral with us, had a great stop for a delicious treat of almond cookies and showing us the other main areas of town. She also helped us know where to park and how to get in and out of the city.

Grazie Laura, it was a pleasure having you and your lovely family. Keep exploring Italy, it is so great for your kids.
What a fantastic tour of Siena! Elisabetta was a wonderful tour guide, through the Piazza del Campo where they hold the Palio, Siena Cathedral, and the Basilica di San Domenico. The tour through the neighborhoods was great, too, such as seeing the medieval aqueduct really brought to life the city. What a great way to spend a half-day. I would heartily recommend!

Grazie Marc for a fantastic review.
I was so sorry, we had to postpone the tour but it turned out perfect for you and your lovely family to enjoy the race.
I am very happy myself 😁
What a great experience! Adele was great and very engaging with the kids. She brought games to play and a little gift for them. We loved our time in Siena and would highly recommend!
Sophia was an excellent tour guide. She explained so many facts and anecdotes about life in Siena. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and learned alot about Siena. We would happily recommend Sophia to all.
This tour for my 16 year old son and me was worth the extra cost for a private guide. Elisabetta knew so much about the area, history and modern day culture (shops, foods, etc). She was able to flex the tour so we could pop into shops we passed. The group tours we passed were massive and all wearing the listening devices. We would not have enjoyed Siena that way.

Thank you for having me!
Being with you and your bright and beautiful son was a treat for me.
Have a safe trip back, I hope to see you again somewhere in Italy or US.
Take care!
Great experience. Valentino is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Getting an understanding of the process of making olive oil was fun and informative. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, May 2022
I am sorry there is no Valentino working with my team. No olive tour on my profile ....
