Stella was very learned on everything to do with Siena, the tour was fun and San Gimignano was a great place to go. While the winery tour was good, the sales pressure was a bit much.

Hello! My name is Stella, I was born in Siena Tuscany and spent most of my life in this gorgeous city where I live with my two kids. I am an official tour guide in Siena, the Chianti, San Gimignano and the Valdelsa, Montalcino, Pienza and the Valdorcia and Montepulciano and the Valdichiana in Italian, English and Spanish. I received my B. A. in humanities from the University of Siena with a Major in English and South American literatures mastering with great passion art and history and my MBA in tourism economics from Bocconi University in Milan. At the conclusion of my studies, I received a grant to study art and anthropology in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. I travelled in many different countries and enjoyed discovering their artworks, culture and social and political condition. I worked as journalist covering art, travels, cinema, theatre and politics. I was always interested in meeting people and exchange ideas and passions, so that welcoming and guiding guests being a tour guide in my hometown was a great opportunity for me. I've been guiding art and kids tours, wine and food tours in Siena, San Gimignano, the Chianti, Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano from the year 2000 and I'm enjoying my tours every day more! Fully licensed tour guide Siena, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, the Chianti Region Interpreter Italian/English /Italian University Degree in Humanities and Foreign Languages Master in Business and Tourism at Bocconi University Milan

Stella is so thoughtful and wonderful guide! She was great with our kids and kept them engaged and interested.
Stella was a wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable in Siena history. I would recommend her 100%.
Stella was incredible with our group of six spanning three generations. Kept everyone interested and the wine tasting was spectacular!
Stella was great in showing us exactly what we wanted to see without excess discussion. The pace she set for our group of ten was perfect, no too fast, not too slow. She kept the interest of the group while allowing for breaks, a little shopping and picture taking. Highly recommend her.
Stella is a true professional. She is warm and supremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of the cities we visited. We saw the main attractions and also some little things that contributed to our understanding of the history and life of the area. She carries a folder or "picture book" which she used to illustrate and compliment the sites we visited ... Outstanding! As a businessman, I would tell you that she is an enormous asset to your company!
we will meet in Siena at the Basilica San Domenico and after the tour that includes the Basilica San Domenico, the Cathedal and Piazza del Campo we will head to San Gimignano. It will take about 1 hour to reach the awesome medieval town where we will enjoy the perfect urban streetnetwork and the towers of the castles, the Collegiate church and the Town Hall with his Torre grossa.
