Ellenna was a great guide, really knowledgeable and kept things moving at a good pace. It was a great way to learn about the history of Siena and see the sites.
This is the perfect tour of Siena both in time and in scope. It is one of the few that gives you entrance into both the Basilica of San Domenico with St. Catherine of Siena's relics, and the Duomo. The slightly over two hours gives you the highlights of this beautiful and interesting city. Our guide, Elio, was knowledgable as well as quite entertaining. Highly recommended!
Elio brought the energy! A fun and informative tour of Siena’s main site. Lots of fascinating history and amusing anecdotes
Elio was brilliant - friendly, engaging and incredibly knowledgable about the city, the art and the culture. We've done a lot of these sorts of tours in different places and he is one of the best guides we've had. He said he also does tours in Florence and we will definitely book with him next time we are there. Thank you so much Elio!
The city tour was excellently organized. The booking was uncomplicated, the meeting point easy to find, and the route corresponded exactly to the description. Our guide Elio was simply great. With a lot of humor, expertise, and enthusiasm, he brought the history and present of Siena to life. As an art historian, he was extremely competent and never let the tour become dry or boring. The two hours flew by. Thank you very much for this great experience – I can recommend the tour without reservation!
Leave plenty of time to get to the meeting point and to be on time. Parking appears close, but there were elevators and hills to negotiate which took a lot of time and our phone maps were not working well. The locals finally pointed us in the right direction! Our guide Guilia was wonderful! Super knowledgable, with great information about the history of Siena, the contratos, the world famous Palio racing, the architecture of Siena and the traditions of the Siennese. The tour was just about the right length (2 hours), taking in the Duomo, and the Campo main square (among other sights), and the listening devices worked well. Guilia also made recommendations of other must see places for later in the day. Would highly recommend Guilia, and the beautiful city of Siena.
Great experience. Well-organized. Clear English and great information.
Exceptionally informative and knowledgeable about the area. We would definitely recommend
Our guide was wonderful. A lot of information in a short period of time, but this information makes the experience more interesting. Not good if you are not steady on your feet.
Elio was the best tour guide, knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about his job. It was a wonderful experience which exceeded our expectations! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
