Tour guide in Siena Lisa B.

Buongiorno! I’m Lisa and my name comes from a very famous old song in Italy which my dad loved very much. I was born in Vicenza, near Venice, but raised in Siena, in the heart of Tuscany where I live with my husband, my son, my daughter and our dog. Siena has so much to offer both to those who come for the first time and to those who return. The town is an open-air history book, every corner telling us about the past. But it’s not a dull or static museum, though! Siena is full of life! Walking through the streets, you'll immediately understand that its charm comes from a combination of past and present coexisting. I studied here at the Università di Siena, I graduated as an Art Historian and a Teacher of Italian for foreigners. I started working as a teacher and I liked it very much, but I later became a guide of Siena after passing a qualifying exam and I discovered I liked that even more! So I have been working as a tour guide with guests from around the world for the last 25 years. I love creating tailor-made tours that allow you to discover the classic and most famous places of the town, but also a less known and (I hope surprising) Siena! I feel fortunate to do what I love the most: meeting people and sharing the beauty as well as the treasured art and culture of my country, and why not, the food too!
