  • Piazza del Campo, Siena, Italy
    From here we can visit some of Siena’s beautiful public fountains, while I explain the incredible aqueducts that run underneath the city even today. The most important fountain is Fonte Gaia, a monumental fountain located in the Piazza del Campo, which is actually a replica as the original panels are housed in the Santa Maria della Scala museum. The famous Piazza del Campo is a shell shaped square at the heart of Siena with its soaring Torre del Mangia tower and the buildings of the City Hall which also include a museum with an entire room filled with Lorenzetti’s Allegory of Good and Bad Government frescoes. Each year the square is packed with dirt and transformed for the Palio horserace which is run twice a year on July 2nd and August 16th with 10 of the 17 contrada neighborhoods competing.
    20 minutes
  • Torre del Mangia, Siena, Italy
    I will explain about the fascinating Torre del Mangia, but we won't climb up to the very top unless you let me know ahead of time as there are lots of steps!
    10 minutes
  • Duomo di Siena, Siena, Italy
    Next I will take you through the ancient streets to the Duomo, the main Cathedral of Siena, one of the finest Gothic cathedrals in all of Italy with unforgettable frescoes in the Piccolomini Library and special tiled floors that are periodically uncovered for viewing. Please note that entrance to the Duomo and various museums and buildings surrounding it is not included and you can pay directly once you choose which you would like to visit.
    30 minutes
  • Palazzo Tolomei, Siena, Italy
    This is the building with the oldest original facade in Siena.
    5 minutes
  • Piazza Salimbeni, Siena, Italy
    Learn about the oldest bank in Europe that is still operating - Monte dei Paschi di Siena, that has brought riches to Siena and the province for hundreds of years.
    10 minutes
  • Basilica Cateriniana Di S. Domenico, Siena, Italy
    Together we will visit the Basilica di San Domenico, a stunning church perched on top of one of the three hills of Siena, at the entrance to the historic city center across from the soccer stadium and fortress. Siena is still protected by medieval walls with impressive doors, but boasts an origin even older than this. We will begin with a visit inside San Domenico where you can see the holy relics of St. Catherine, one of the Patron Saints of Italy and the person said to be responsible for returning the Papacy from Avignon to Rome.

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.

In Siena we had an amazing tour with Elisabetta. She really helped us connect with Siena. Just walking down side streets we were able to learn the interesting history of the area and the famous Palio di Siena horse race around the Piazzo del Campo. While her knowledge of Siena is incredible, it felt more like walking with a friend. We learned about the area but were also able to have conversation - she didn’t just list facts. It made it so enjoyable and we felt as if we actually learned more.

My husband and I booked a tour with Elisabetta for a day in Siena and San Gimignano. She was prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable about all of the beautiful places we visited. She helped with parking, directions and short cuts, saving time. We shared a wonderful meal at a highly recommended restaurant in Siena and we became fast friend, getting to know each other and sharing information about our cultures. She was a joy and we will call on her again when in Tuscany!
