We don't have to tell you Siena's beauty is legendary - you already know. Unfortunately, so does everyone else, which is why this drop-dead gorgeous city is often swamped with gawking tourists. Get the inside scoop on this Tuscan gem by taking a private Siena tour with a local guide.

Siena's city centre was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1995, so lace up your walking shoes and get intentionally lost down narrow alleyways in search of the perfect espresso. Get your daily exercise following your guide to the top of the Torre del Mangia, then camp out in the Piazza del Campo, site of the famous Palio bareback horse race.

The Duomo was intended to be the world's largest cathedral, but midway through the money dried up. Ask your guide to point out the different architectural layers. If all that sightseeing made you hungry, ask your guide for the best place to chow down on Cina Senese, local roast Tuscan pig, paired with the famed Brunello wine.
