Overview of your Siena tour:

Everybody knows that Siena is magnificent, a pearl of Gothic, and a World Unesco Heritage from 1995. But pay attention, it's not a museum! What you can see all around you (Medieval buildings, gilded altarpieces) is lively and in some craftsman shops you can still breath the ancient art of homemade paintings. So, in about two hours long walking tour we'll touch the key-points of the town and discover everything about her art, tradition, architecture, history. A true local guide would be the perfect introducer to a world so distant and different in time and space but still so fascinating. That's why it's so important not to waste your time wandering without any clue of what you're looking at: you'll discover that 1 hour with me is more informative than 4 hours reading over your trip guide! Plus you'll have an one-hour long workshop with a master creating your own gilded magnet: something you wouldn't forget!

Your Siena tour itinerary

Our walk will start from the external city gates and walls, then we will enter the Medieval city discovering the main monuments, such as: - the Cathedral, with its stunning facade - the Public Palace, symbol of the Republic of Siena - the Santa Maria della Scala hospital, the most ancient hospital in Europe We will enjoy all these must-to-see in external, saving some time for an in-depth visit to a Sienese church to admire one of the stunning wooden altarpieces Medieval artists realized for the family chapels inside: this would be the better way to introduce you to your workshop experience. As a matter of fact, we will stop in a craftsman shop for a customized dimonstrative workshop about Medieval art and painting tecnique on wooden tablets, the same Sienese artists used to realize the beautiful altarpieces I would have already shown you in our journey through Siena: you'll have a full-immersive experience with me, both theorical and practical!
