Description
This private walking tour in Siena is just for your own group, with a local resident as your guide. The route is flexible and follows your interests, and the pace is yours to set.
A typical walk starts in Piazza del Campo, where the Palio horse race is run. From there it goes on to Siena Cathedral and its Gothic detail, then into the medieval streets, where you learn about the contrade and find small alleys and courtyards. Depending on your taste, you can add the quiet Orto Botanico or the Fortezza Medicea, where the view reaches over the Tuscan countryside.
- Piazza del Campo and Siena Cathedral
- Streets and courtyards of the contrade
- Orto Botanico or Fortezza Medicea
On the way your guide shares tips on local food, artisan shops and favourite spots. The guide is a friendly resident, not a licensed professional, so expect local culture rather than detailed history lessons. Tickets, food, drinks and transport are paid separately. If you visit a paid attraction, it is polite to cover the guide's ticket. Wear comfortable shoes and be on time.
