Tour guide in Siena Antonella P.

Ciao! I was born and raised in Sardinia. After many years in Milan, where I received my Degree in Languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese) and having spent one year in California, I moved to Tuscany 21 years ago. I was an assistant manager in a prestigious hotel and then became an official tourist guide for Siena and its province. I love meeting people and sharing my passion for this beautiful area which has welcomed me: it is both a pleasure and an honor. Food and wine for us Italians is a culture and for this reason I frequented (eagerly) a sommelier course and also courses to become an Official Cheese Taster and an Extra Virgin Olive Oil Taster. My passions are history of art, wine, gastronomy and local traditions. In my free time I like to travel, read and cook, a recent passion but well-practiced! I try to convey my knowledge with passion and humor and involve my clients, whatever their needs, from children to grandparents! I am very happy to customize my tours based on your needs and expectation, so please do not hesitate to ask. We can mix and match art, religion, wine, food, cheese, EVOO, truffles :-) In Siena transportation is not needed, for the other tours I can't drive clients around but you can follow me with your car as distances are very short. Alternatively I am happy to go in your car if you drive or I can get you a quote for a private driver if you want to relax and just enjoy the ride. My tours are very informative but I will not lecture you! I like to deliver the info with humor and lightness and there will always be time for a break with a good coffee or gelato. I am very much looking forward to showing you this magic part of the world! I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.
