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!!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
Lisa_H, May 2025
We loved it.! Our guide Alexandra was so knowledgeable, kind and gracious. She made it a wonderful experience! A must do in Siena. Thank you Alexandra!
Barbara_R, May 2025
It was a joy to be guided by Alexandra. Her tour was thoughtful, adding very interesting historical information to an evening filled with delicious local food. Her sommelier education elevated our experience to a high level. We enthusiastically recommend her tour.
Mary_W, May 2025
Wonderful tour centered around food and wine, with detailed explanations of both, in addition to historical and cultural details of Siena. Sandra was an excellent guide and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
Anatol_V, Apr 2025
Our family had a great time with Alexandra, who was an excellent guide to local food, wine and history. Would highly recommend for families or single travelers!

Trish_T, Apr 2025
Fabulous food and wine tour. We went to five places. Wine and charcuterie, wine and pasta, gelato, cookies and dessert wine near Piazza Del Campo, cappuccino. Very filling. Sandra was a wonderful guide and explained the 17 districts of Siena, history, pointed out several hidden landmarks. I would welcome another tour with Sandra.
