Hands down one of the highlights of our trip! My dad and I took a food tour in Siena with Jacopo, and he was incredible. Jacopo is amazingly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating local history and culinary stories alongside delicious tastings. Be prepared for a bit of a walk—which was a great way to explore the town and burn off some of the food! I can't recommend Jacopo and this tour highly enough
Jacopo made our day in Siena. It wasn't just about the food & wine knowledge but we learnt so much from a local of Siena. No question was too daft and he shared much about his city. The food was delicious and ample & Chiani fabulous. He even shared his slides with us.
Alex was a great guide. She is a passionazed person and balanced the tour in the right way. A bit history, a huge knowledge about wine and the best food in town.
Alexandra was very pleasant in her manner and had a lot to report about the food/wines and the hosts. It was a complete success for us parents as well as for our 17-year-old daughter. Highly recommended.
The guide jacob was good, but the quality and selection of food was mediocre. Rather than go to a shop to taste packaged cookies I would’ve preferred going to a bakery and had fresh cookies. The other two restaurants were just average quality. There are much better places to taste food in sienna
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that Jacob made a positive impression and that you enjoyed his guidance throughout the tour. We're sorry to hear that the food selection didn't fully meet your expectations. We'd just like to clarify that the biscuits we taste are prepared fresh on the day, they are a local specialty, and we include them because they represent an important part of Siena's culinary heritage. We also appreciate your comments about the restaurant selection. We carefully choose our partners to offer an authentic and balanced experience, but we understand that everyone has different tastes and expectations, especially in a city with so many excellent places to eat. Your feedback is valuable and will help us continue to improve our tours. Thank you again for sharing your experience.
Alexandria was very welcoming and clearly has a passion for the food and wine of Tuscany. Our tour consisted of visits to three local shops and deli’s where we were given the background history to the samples of local produce. A clear and simple tour for those wishing to get some quick information of Siena.
Alexandra was amazing and taught us so much about Siena and its famous horse racing culture. The gelato was also amazing. Thank you for taking care of us!
Valentina was a wonderful and very knowledgeable hostess. She was thorough, informative and has a great sense of humor. We definitely recommend this tour.
We had a great food tour experience in Siena! Alex was our guide. In addition to knowing the food of the city, she also had extensive knowledge of the greater wine region that came in especially useful when we were selecting a bottle to bring home with us at the end of our tour. We had some “off menu” dishes that ended up being some of the best flavors of our trip. We toured other medieval cities on our own but the experience was less rich without someone guiding our path (and food). I highly recommend booking this tour when in Siena! Enjoy! Ciao!
Alexandra was such a knowledgeable and fun tour guide. The food tour of Siena was perfect from start to finish. Her understanding of the food culture and Tuscan wines was impressive. We learned so much and also had such a fun time. I would recommend this tour with Alexandra to anyone who wants to learn more about Tuscan wines and local food. Everything we ate and drank was amazing! Truly a perfect evening in Siena.
