Giulia R.
Hi! My name is Giulia, I was born in Siena some years ago and more or less I've been always living...
Itinerary not perfect? Message Giulia R. to build a tour that’s just right for you.
Everybody know that Siena is magnificent, a pearl of Gothic, and a World Unesco Heritage from 1995, but she (I always talk about my city as a "lady") wouldn't be the same without the Palio, the so ancient tradition of horse race that takes place twice a year inside the shell of Piazza del Campo. So, in a half day long walking tour, we touch the key-points of the town, and discover everything about her art, tradition, architecture, history, and food! I assure you an amazing tasting of our delicious Sienese cakes in one of the best bakeries in town. And all of this would be absolutely unforgivable if you guide is a LOCAL guide, truly passionate in what she's explaining and deeply connected to the Sienese life&traditions: in a single word, ME. At the end of the tour you'll be part of the city, moreover, you'll be part of my contrada, the Shell (best in town!) *If you have a specific itinerary in mind send me a message and I'll customize the tour for you
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 (full of masterpieces by Nicola and Giovanni Pisano, Donatello, Michelangelo and Bernini) - the Public Palace (entirely frescoed by Simone Martini, Ambrogio Lorenzetti and others in the Middle Ages) - the Santa Maria della Scala hospital (a city within the city, something unique in all Italy) - the imposing churches and sanctuaries (St. Dominic, St. Francis, the Sanctuary of St. Catherine of Siena for instance) We'll see all these architectures in external, then we can choose together one of them to be visited depending on your interests and preferences: the tour would be entirely custom-made over you! We will also visit one of the 17 Museums which belong to the 17 Contrade, the districts in which Siena is divided, the ones that run for the victory in the Palio horse race.
