This was a perfect tour for the 4 of us. It had just the right blend of history and local flavor. Our lunch spot was amazing and we shared their contact with other guests at our hotel. We will be back again to Siena!

Hi there, my name is Silvia and I live in a small cute village of the Chianti close to Siena. I am an outhorized city guide of Siena and Florence as well as an outhorized nature guide of Tuscany. I graduated in foreign Languages and Literatures at the University of Siena, English and German. I am an energetic person who loves travel, nature, traditions and good food in Italy, expecially pasta and gelato. . . but not only! I am a mother, so don’t worry if you are a family with kids, I know how it is travelling with children and I will be happy to make the tour fun also for them. Working in turism for me is the way to share my favorite things with other travellers as well as meeting people from other countries. It would be a pleasure for me to show you the Tuscan corners that I prefer, through towns and countryside, and I hope to bring an eager and fun addition to your vacation! Please don't hesitate to write me about what you would like to see and do with me, or if you have any specific needs and interests, my goal is to create unforgettable experiences and memories for you! See you in Tuscany ciao Silvia Authorized city guide Authorized nature guide Tour guide When the tour requires transportation, I will not be your driver. I will accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

If you wish to dedicade a full day to discovering the beauties of the gothic town of Siena, this is your tour. We will walk around town to see the main monuments, visit the Duomo, the Civic museum and one of the Contrade museums. Beside the main attractions, we will also explore the hidden corners and other places where I would love to bring you, out of the touristic route. If you like the idea I can arrange a light lunch with wine tasting! Enjoy your visit!

Very interesting and fun tour. 1. It would be good to tell the visitors by bus to get off at the first bus stop near the church. We didn't know to do that so just went to the main bus stop, then had to find the church, so that wasted about 20 minutes. 2. The tour was for 6 hours. We arrived a bit late because of the bus, which was our fault, but then really the tour ended after about 5 hours instead of 6. The guide was really interesting and lively but it wasn't the full 6 hours. Thank you.
Excellent tour lots of good information her love for Sierra was evident.
Siena is like a living museum but there is much more to life there than the obvious sites. Sylvia did a marvelous job of bringing the city to life. She outlined the history of the major buildings and public spaces and also provided insight into the historical organization of life in the city. This included an explanation of the contradas (neighbourhood organizations) and how they interact, as well as an in-depth tour of the Owl Contrada museum, chapel, square and the rest of the area. Highly recommended.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our day with Silvia. She's very knowledgeable about the art, history, and culture of Siena. Besides her expertise, she has a lovely personality and a good sense of humor. Helpful in every way, from helping us find a laundry to making sure I had gluten-free food for our lunch together and for future meals, she was just great!
Silvia is an excellent guide! We spent a wonderful six hour day with her in Siena. We would highly recommend her!
