We had such a great overview of Siena and delicious food! Sondra took us to all of her favorite spots and we had the best pasta at our lunch place! It was so good that I took a group of 10 people back a few weeks later- and she even assisted with the booking! I loved the history she shared about Siena, and it was so much more than a food tour. I highly recommend booking this tour and asking for her. I’m hosting another group in 2027 and hope to use her for a group tour once it’s all planned. Thank you!!

This tour was awesome! We traveled with friends (two couples) and the tour was us and one other person who became a fast friend! Our guide Jacapo was wonderful! He was local and knew all about local history and traditions. The food and wine was plentiful! In addition, the tour included lots of educational pieces about the food and wine of Siena! He also sent photos and other recommendations the next morning. Don’t hesitate to book this-so good! Great way to see and taste the history of Siena!

Sandra was amazing! We learned so much about the city and the food and wine of the area. The places Sandra choose for the food and wine experience were all delicious and nice size portions. We enjoyed every minute of the tour and would highly recommend,
Maria_M, May 2026
It’s an awesome small group tour of Siena that offers a four part food tasting accompanied with water, wine, apertivos and espresso. Valentina, our guide, was very knowledgeable and kind.
Annora_M, May 2026
A fabulous tour. Our guide, Jaopa was just so fantastic - born and raised in Siena - he knows almost everything about the culture and history of Siena. The tour was just so much more than the delicious foods we were introduced to. It was 3 hours of becoming part of amazing Siena.
Andrea_D, May 2026
Fabulous tour guide and food. Highly recommend! One of the best food tours we’ve ever been on and we’ve been on many all over the world.
Kelly_C, May 2026
Sandra was amazing. All her knowledge about the area really gave us a lot of unique information. The places she chose for us to eat were amazing. I would recommend her ad she is from the area and can answer all your questions
Brian_F, May 2026
This was nice. Our guide had a great personality and was very good. I would do this same tour again.
LEILA_C, May 2026
Viola was amazing. Her tour was fun and engaging. The portions of this food tour are big - full sized meals. Enjoyed every moment!
Vincent_C, May 2026
Lovely experience! Our guide was knowledgeable about the history and current production of the food and wine in the Tuscan region. She was friendly and accommodating. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour!

A great walk around Siena with a great guide. Food was good, the wine even better. Ice cream and coffee sealed the deal :) Alexandra was a great guide. Knowledgable, spoke good English and very articulate. All in all a perfect tour!
Jill_W, Apr 2026

Jacobo was a fabulous tour guide— excellent communication via What’s App, and excellent job of guiding us through this good tour! Foods were extraordinary! You will not walk away hungry! Be sure to request Jacobo!
Andrea_P, Nov 2025
Excellent tour guide and delicious food choices. We were full after all the various tastings and learned a lot about Siena. This is a great way to get both a taste of the cuisine and culture.
vince_v, Nov 2025
Sandra was such a delightful guide. A native of Siena, she was a wealth of knowledge about history and cultire. The food and drink stops were wonderful, and we tried out other suggestions she gave us for restaurants, etc. Would highly recommend!
ToniAnne_S, Oct 2025
Jacopo was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. To begin with he sent us a What’s App message with a picture of where we were meeting with the exact meeting spot circled in red. This was so helpful. As we walked between our food stops Jacopo extended on our previous knowledge of the city, bringing to life the past and present history and traditions of Siena. While I have had other wine tastings no one ever explained the ratings and classifications of wine in Italy to me as clearly as he did. His 5 choices of food stops gave us a taste and understanding of local food. We both enjoyed our meal immensely! In the Norton husband and I had a walking tour of the city and what I think was most notable about Jacopo is that rather than repeat what we learned he asked us questions and then added to our knowledge.
Tom_B, Oct 2025
Tour guide was very nice, harder time understanding initially as area was loud and she had strong accent. Very knowledgeable about the food. Did not make last stop for limoncello as it was closed when we got there. Overall a very good tour, recommend it.

Never book this food tour ,it was very disappointing. For that price I could have had an excellent meal in a top restaurant. The places we ate were awful, the gelato , we had to line up for, we decided not to go for coffee.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We do want to clarify that the guide had to return to the meeting point to pick you up, as you arrived about 40 minutes late and were having difficulty following Google Maps directions. We also had to call multiple times to ensure you could join the tour.
Despite this, our guide tried to ensure you could enjoy the experience. The venues and tastings are carefully selected to showcase authentic Tuscan cuisine, giving guests a true taste of local specialties. This is shown by the multiple great feedbacks on our tour and regarding also the guide who hosted the tour that day.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to use it to improve communication and the overall experience for future guests.

Fun, Delicious, Informative. An authentic tour with a great guide. JACAPO WAS AMAZING! We have also done this tour several times for our tour group and had VALENTINA WHO WAS ALSO WONDERFUL!
Shirley_H, Oct 2025
Excellent tour and a real value for the price. We really enjoyed that the group size was small and we had a great time.
Chris_V, Oct 2025
Good food guide was very informative and helpful. Got to go off the main road and see some very nice restaurants. Jacobo our guide was a very nice person
Brian_E, Sep 2025
We loved our tour with Valentina. The food at every stop was wonderful and she was very knowledgeable about the wines we were drinking. It was also nice to learn the history of the city as we walked to each restaurant.
Nathan_J, Aug 2025
This tour was the highlight of our time in Siena. Sandra, a local through and through, was incredibly knowledgeable about food, wine, and the city itself.
She took us to places we never would have found on our own, steering clear of the tourist traps and introducing us to authentic spots where locals actually eat. The difference in quality and atmosphere was remarkable.
Along the way we learned a lot about Siena’s traditions and history, which made the experience feel both personal and memorable. If you want to see the city through the eyes of someone who knows it inside out, this is the way to do it.
Thank you from Australia!
Sara_K, Aug 2025
Absolutely enjoyed our time with Sandra. Not only did we enjoy learning the history of Siena from someone who grew up in one of the districts but discovering the hidden gems of local cuisine made our experience extraordinary. The highlight of our tour was when the local patrons began an impromptu series of celebratory singing. It definitely set the stage. We would highly recommend this food tour for those that want an authentic experience.
Taylor_M, Aug 2025
We loved this tour. Great way to learn the history through food! We still think about this tour. Our guide was great as well!
Daniel_K, Jun 2025
Our tour guide was Valentina and she did a great job. We ended up being the only two people on the tour so it made for a really nice conversational experience. The food was really good and her knowledge of Siena and the food that makes it special was wonderful. We did a number of tours over our two weeks in Italy and this was our favorite.
Michael_G, Jun 2025
Excellent way to tour and see Siena through great food and drink. Alexandra was an amazing guide! Would recommend her and this tour highly.
Duane_H, May 2025
Valentina was a superb guide. Not only were we introduced to regional specialties but as we walked we were introduced to the culture of the city which we had not anticipated. We learned of the famous Paleo horse race, St. Catherine of Sienna, the Cathedral and the Basilica. The Chianti was so good I bought a bottle for enjoying later. Cannot recommend Valentina enough. Outstanding experience!
